Pulau Kapas

Pulau Kapas is a small island located only about 6km off Marang in the east coast state of Terengganu (about 1h north of Kuala Terengganu). It has quite and relaxed atmosphere because it is bypassed by the majority of the backpacker circuit looking for a more remote place like the Perhentian Islands. Pulau Kapas only get fairly busy on the weekends when locals come to island. There are a few good snorkeling spots around the island. All accommodations and beach are on the west coast facing the mainland. The west coast is the weather side has no sand beach, only rocks - it can be reached after a short walk through the jungle. Pulau Kapas shuts down during the monsoon season between November and February.

First of all, the free airport pick-up is a LIE!! We confirmed with the staff about the pick-up a few days before we arrived but when we arrived, nothing was there. So we called them and they told us that their pick-up van was ACCIDENTALLY unavailable, simply because they used it for other tours on the same day. So we needed to get a taxi to get to their place. When we arrived, they apologised and promised that they would compensate by bringing us from the centre of town to the airport on our last day in KK. Again, we confirmed the time with them the night before but guess what, nothing showed up 2 hours before our flight. I called them and they just indifferently told me that the driver was not around. When I questioned their service and attitude, they just dropped the call before I finished my sentence.

I still get irritated thinking about this experience. After all, nothing is worth at this place. Despite the horrendous service, the location is bad, their tours were much more expensive than other agencies, and they didn’t give us the requested room type. I’ll never ever recommend this to anyone, NEVER!!
