It’s this time of the year that fans of the Rainforest World Music Festival start booking their flight to Sarawak, also the accomodation as it would be fully booked a month near the festival. I was there two years ago and it was hell lot of fun!

Laguna Redang – one of my personal favourite beaches in Malaysia. Therefore, I’m gonna shower you with lotsa Laguna love in this post. My last visit to Redang was back in 2008. I did everything Laguna – from my beauty sleep @ Laguna Redang Resort to sunbathing at Laguna Beach…
I came home with my proud Laguna bikini tan

Laguna Redang Island Resort

“Who wouldn’t be fascinated by the mesmerizing sun, soft white sand and crystal-clear water? I bet almost every one will be thinking of stripping nude and just run frantically into the sea”

Redang – Laguna Beach

“The first thing you would notice about Laguna Beach is… tonnes of girls in bikinis the soft soft sand“

Trip to Redang – Laguna Redang

“The Laguna Redang staff make it even sweeter as well . I would say this is one of the few places where they really try to please you – literally, you can just ask and they’ll try the very best to help… which is cool especially with my 3 year old daughter”

Redang Island Diving Trip

“On surface, suddenly Peter gets panic and struggling to get afloat (Skill 2). I was right in front of him so I held one of his hands, I pulled him slightly harder towards me and that caused him turn around and his back facing me”

“This time round we stayed at Laguna, which has really awesome buffet-styled meals”

Redang – Part IV

“That’s part of the whole set up. Drewy the lousy photographer; didn’t catch the full extent of the whole deco. So, anyway, in front of me was the “X” that marked the spot (more like the flowers that marked the spot) where my present was buried. I dug and dug and dug (my girls had to help me… it was a big box and BOY, did they bury it deep!) and finally… I got my pressieeee!!!”

Redang Day 2

“This was the place where Redang was shot to fame by numerous international artistes throught the film Summer Holiday. It look awesome! Ain’t it?”

#9 Phingelicious

Again, Redang 2008

“Probably because few popular resorts are located here, like the Laguna Redang Resort. Not forgetting the most-photographed-thing-in-Redang, the headless woodboard.”

#10 Terry & Vivayor Travel Blog

Redang Island

“There is a popular place in Redang Island – More More Tea Inn in Laguna Resort. Laguna resort was built according to the idea of the movie “夏日末末茶”

…is indeed a diver’s paradise. Located in Sabah, Sipadan has so much to offer to its divers and tourist.  Here’s my pick and quotes taken from blogs that I’ve read!

Budget Tips to Sipadan Island

The cheapest lodge is definitely Uncle Chang’s Sipadan Mabul Dive Lodge. It’s very basic, mattresses on the floor and shared bathing but you go to the islands for the diving and the resort for rum party evenings not to catch up on your sleep.

For a little more money you could try something totally different and take a room on the converted oil rig called SeaVentures. This offers you the opportunity for unlimited diving under the rig with your buddy which makes it all great value. You also have more chance of getting some sleep on the rig!

Diving during the Chinese New Year Holidays

I’ve spent nearly 2 weeks of diving at Sipadan Water Village Resort, covering Sipadan, Mabul, Kapalai and Si Amil. The dive condition was wonderful during the first week with really good visibility (an average of 18-20meters) and I was glad to know that the weather and visibility only turned bad on our departure day (yesterday) with strong blowing wind and waves.

My Vacation to Sipadan Island

Arrive Semporna, a small town off Tawau. At the back is Dragon Inn, where we are staying. Room rate is RM60 per night. But most important it is a water chalet……..with this amount you get hot shower, TV and breakfast. Lunch and dinner, you can go to a local restaurant…..either Uncle Chang or Fung Ling. They provides a wonderful meal …….don’t take my word for it, try it out yourself. Seafood in Semporna is damn cheap, just be adventurous and try everything.

#4 Alive Not Dead

Mabul/Sipadan

Took a week off with one of my best friends from the States whose been on a diving/photography kick for the last few years. We originally thought about going to dive Australia’s GBR, bounced around the idea of New Caledonia, but then ended up on the much closer (and cheaper!) islands of Mabul and Sipadan in Malaysian Borneo. Overall, I got in 11 regular dives, 1 night dive, and 4 dives in Sipadan over the 6 nights I was there.
