The car journey to Lake Kenyir from Kuala Terengganu took us less than two hours. We had prepaid for the Fish Sanctuary experience at RM10 per adult. Upon arrival, we paid RM2 for whole day parking. A boat which we had pre-arranged is already waiting for us. We left the jeti at 910am. There were already people at the Fish Sanctuary when we arrived at 10am. After a briefing, we were taken by our boat up Sg Petang to the start of the walkway. It took us 15 to 30 minutes to reach the natural sanctuary. Midway, we were told to buy fish food at RM2 per packet. (I suspect the fish are feeding only on fish food brought in by visitors like us. Is this right or wrong??) After half an hour in the waters, we trekked back and our boat brings us to Lasir Waterfalls. We spent almost an hour there and returned to the jetty at about 3pm. We actually drove and had a look at the Elephant Sanctuary. But the price was too steep with not a discount even for that late time in tne afternoon. We had a late lunch at Warung Mr Baung a kilometer away on the main road. The fish was well cooked especially the Baung Tempoyan.

Beautiful views, glorious sand and beautiful, clear sea - the perfect setting for a perfect weekend. Lots of activities to do - non-motorized, as this is a marine conservation area. We kayaked, snorkeled, hiked and swam. Would have gone for scuba diving too if we knew how to :) We could see plenty of marine life in the waters below our water villa - tiny sharks, stingrays, colourful fishes, and fruit bats in the jungle behind. And of course, the resident white turtle in the pool at the front of the resort along with tiny, cute turtlings waiting for their time to be released to the ocean. The staff was friendly and the food delicious. We enjoyed our stay there very much :)

Since Terengganu has several waterfalls that is a must to visit. We just had to stop by 1 of them. So we opt to go to Sekayu Waterfall. A very small hike from the parking lot to the waterfall. Around 15-20mins. The steps are not so steep either. So it's convenient for both the young and old. Dipping into the water is a must. Cool cold water but really refreshing. It wasn't that crowded either. So just nice. Clean but still with some rubbish laying around.

Best beach ever..crystal clear water and white sand! No resorts,bars,nothing! Only nature and sea! You get there by water taxi and you should also tell them when they let you, to pick u up at a certain time cos there is no taxi there waiting in general..so if you don't want to be left there,say it in advance! Get water and snacks with you..There is no place to buy anything! Enjoy this amazing beach

1. The location Lata Tembakah, Hulu Besut, Besut Terengganu Darul Iman. The location from Kuala Besut (Jetty Perhentian Islands) was 41 km. 2. I recommend for travelers to visit this place; Lata Tembakah. Why ? The reasons were that Lata Tembakah is not crowded with people. 3. The place is suitable for family, couples or friends because it is far from people. 4. Lata Tembakah also provided the accommodation; tent or resort (with low cost) 5. I really recommend for travellers to rent the motorcycle because you can explore the district with a paddy field. 6. Lata Tembakah has 5 levels of waterfalls and you can hike (don't worry it has a track to hiking). 7. The fee to enter is RM2.00 but the facilities are so clean. Lata Tembakah will be closed during the Monsoon Season (November until February). 8. Any question; can message me.
