Kuala Terengganu is an important and culturally interesting city to visit in the North-Eastern part of Malaysia. Kuala Terengganu is quite popular with people accessing the Perhentian Islands, Palau Redang and Kapas Islands which offer some of the best diving and snorkelling locations on the East Coast of Malaysia. Most international tourists use Kuala Terengganu as a starting point for travelling to the Perhentian Islands which attracts during peak seasons between March and November. 

Pulau Kapas is a popular island destination on the East coast of Malaysia because of its easy access from Kuala Terengganu and Kuantan. Kapas Island is an amazing destination for a day trip if you are staying in Kuala Terengganu.

Most tourists stop at KT to catch a ferry to the Perhentian Islands where they normally stay for one or two nights. Pulau Kapas offers easy access for families and travellers who do not want to spend a night in the Islands. I travelled to Pulau Kapas in August 2019 which is a great time of the year to explore this unique location. Here is some useful information if you are planning to explore Pulau Kapas.
