What to do in an island like Redang is stating the too-obvious — simply lay back and soak up the sun! The following are recommended, but not necessary to participate in order to enjoy your island stay just as well (random numbering):
1. Relish the white sands and blue waters
2. Unwind after activities in a hotel-style chalet resort at Berjaya
3. Fool around with the snorkelling mask
4. Get burnt in the sun, day after day
5. Let your cousins bury your legs in sand
6. Go snorkelling! Float on the sea’s surface with your head in the water to revel in fishes swimming just slightly below you. Bring bread along to feed the fish and be tantalized by them nibbling at your fingers.
Get up close and personal!
7. Go diving! Nothing gets you closer to the corals and the fishes (and jellyfishes, octopuses, and sharks!)

9. Paddle
10. Jump around to wobble big belly! And get whacked at your boobs by a crazy woman!
11. Get capsized multiple times in the banana boat ride!
12. Just take photos all the time!
Doesn’t this resemble the MSN default pic?
13. Eat eat eat!

In a nutshell, don’t leave for Redang without: Swimwear and Sunblock.
Just relax and enjoy!
