Redang Marine Park Fee and Rules Explained

What the Marine Park Fee Actually Is

Redang and the surrounding waters sit inside a protected Marine Park, managed by Malaysia's Department of Marine Park. Anyone entering the water within the park boundary — whether for snorkeling, diving, or just swimming — is required to pay a conservation fee, which goes toward reef protection and marine park management.

On SurayaRedang's day trip package, this fee is already included in your RM120 price — you don't pay it separately at the jetty or on the island.

Rules You'll Be Asked to Follow

• No touching, standing on, or collecting coral — even dead-looking coral can be part of a living structure
• No touching or chasing marine life, including turtles
• No littering, on the boat or in the water
• No fishing or removing anything from the marine park without a permit
• Sunscreen matters — reef-safe, oxybenzone-free sunscreen is strongly preferred, since some chemical sunscreens are linked to coral bleaching

Do I Need to Bring Anything for This?

Not really — there's no separate permit to arrange yourself, since the fee is bundled into your package price and handled by our team. The only practical thing worth doing in advance is packing reef-safe sunscreen, since it's a small choice that has a real cumulative impact on the reef over time.
