By plane

Kuala Terengganu's Sultan Mahmud Airport (TGG) has around half a dozen flights per day to Kuala Lumpur (1 hour) on Malaysian Airlines and Air Asia. Full fare to KL is RM158 plus taxes, but significant advance purchase discounts are available.

The long distance bus station has buses to all main Malaysian cities outside Terengganu : Kuala Lumpur (7 hours), Penang (9 hours), Johor Bahru (9 hours), Kota Bharu, Melaka, Kuantan. Transnasional (http://www.nadi.com.my/transportation_home.asp) also runs buses direct to Singapore (10 hours, S$36.00/15.10 to/from Singapore).

The local bus station has buses to most places in town and in Terengganu : Merang (for Redang), Kuala Besut (for the Perhentians), Dungun, etc.

By ferry

In season (March-October), there are two ferries a day from the central Shahbandar Jetty direct to Redang Island (75 min). These are operated by and intended primarily for guests of the Berjaya Redang Resort, but they'll take non-guests on board (for a price) if there's space.
