Gem Island - Beautiful isolated island

#mymymemories Gem Island. Wonderful small private island with only one resort. If you dont like crowded,cfull of tourist beach this is the place to go. But if you want to party on the beach then this is not the place. Love the water villas, we saw sharks right on our balcony. We even saw a turtle laying eggs on the beach! If you very lucky like us, they even have a turtle hatchling release at the beach. Such an experience just for us. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Food was nice. It was a lovely stay. Getting There - Resort Gem Island is a 15-minute boat ride from Marang Jetty. From the jetty, it is a 30-minute drive from the Kuala Terengganu Airport. Attractions at Gemia Resort - Stunning island with 2 beaches for swimming. We even saw a turtle laying eggs on the beach! If you very lucky like us, the turtle sanctuary there will have a turtle hatchling release at the beach. Such an experience just for us. Kayaking for rent and snorkelling is also a must activities at this island. Grey shark can be seen in the morning by the balcony. Next to this Island is Bukit Singa. We kayak for about 30 minutes, and left our kayak at the shore. No one else there so don’t worry much. Hike up to the top and the view is amazing. Worth the sweat. Food - This resort have 1 restaurant. The view from the table is amazing. The foods are yummy, some local dishes by the chef and big portion too well worth the price. I love it overall. #terengganu #malaysiaisland
