Pulau Lang
Tengah is a very small island located between Perhentian
Island and Redang Island. This little island is
accessible by a 30-minute boat ride from the Merang
jetty. According to locals, Lang Tengah takes its name
from 'Lang' which comes from helang which means 'eagle'
in the Malay language, and tengah, meaning 'middle'.
Thus, Lang Tengah means eagles resting on the middle
island.
The
island is very small indeed. A round-island trip by
speed boat takes only 10 minutes. The beach is narrow
and land is limited. However, its small size gives it
its best advantage - Lang Tengah Island holds only 4
resort operators, ensuring a peaceful visit. And the
winning attraction of this tiny and peaceful island?
Some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in
Malaysia!
