Terengganu Shoreline
Endless stretches of white sandy beaches and turquoise waters between Kota Bharu and Kuala Terengganu.
Redang Archipelago
Breathtaking views of Pulau Redang and Pulau Lang Tengah's coral reefs during the early phase of the flight.
Kuala Terengganu City
A clear view of the Terengganu River mouth, the Drawbridge, and the sprawling coastal urban landscape.
Tioman Island
The iconic volcanic silhouette of Pulau Tioman often appears on the horizon when cruising past the Pahang coast.

Choose an early morning flight to see the sunrise over the South China Sea. The islands are most visible between April and September when the skies are clearest; during the monsoon season (November to February), cloud cover often obscures the coastal view.
