There are different ways to reach Belum Temenggor forest reserve. If you don’t come with your own transportation or can’t use one of the public bus connections, we got you covered with private transportation services. It has several destinations in Malaysia.

Get your transportation from West to East coast, you can book a transfer from Belum Temenggor to Kuala Besut, Merang jetty or viceversa. This destination is ideal if you are going or arriving from/to Perhentian islands (Pulau Perhentian), Redang island (Pulau Redang) or Lang Tengah island (Pulau Lang Tengah).

Transfers are one-way only. So, if you need a round trip, you need to book it twice and change the destination. In that case, you can also build your own itinerary. For example, you can get a transfer from George Town to Belum Temenggor, and then from this page, a transfer from Belum Temenggor to Kuala Besut, or the way around.

The journey to Kuala Besut jetty lasts approximately three (3) hours per way. If you are going to Redang or Lang Tengah island you will drop off at Merang Jetty. If you need special arrangements, kindly contact us before booking. We normally employ Malaysia-made vehicles, Japanese-made minivans (e.g. Toyota) for transfer services.

However, if your group is particularly large, we will use a bus or a large coach. It has with air conditioning and full comforts but no on board toilets.

We recommend to book your transfer arrangements early in advance. We listed a few departure times, but hours are flexible and can be adjusted according to your needs. However, we do recommend that you leave Belum before dusk (18.00) or leave Kuala Besut not later than early afternoon. This is because the East-West road, has poor lighting and there could be animals or elephants in the evening.
