Terengganu is island country, with the Perhentians, Redang, Lang Tengah and Kapas all offering clear water and easy snorkelling. On land, Kuala Terengganu is for nasi dagang, keropok lekor and the Crystal Mosque, and Tasik Kenyir is a huge jungle lake. Island season is roughly March to October, and Kuala Terengganu is about an hour's flight from KL.
