When you think of Cherating, you'd think of sandy beaches.
When you think of beaches, you'd think of sea activities.
Well, you're not that far from wrong with that one.
I had the pleasure to do some of them during my stay at the Legend Resort Cherating and hopes this post will benefit some people at least. Here goes my top 10 things to do in Cherating. (Not in any particular order) =)
1. Visit the Turtle Sanctuary (10 minutes drive from the Legend)
Price: RM40.00/adult (min 3 people)
 |
| Let's see how the experts do it. |
We were briefed on the various species of turtles found on the shores of Malaysia. They also shared which species were rare and which were extinct. (Sorry, I'm not that much of a note taker). This sanctuary also stores turtle eggs which they help to protect until they hatch. Some live turtles are also kept here in case you want to see the real deal.
I suggest you also join the turtle watching activity done during the nights at activity number two.
2. Turtle Watching (from April to August - the season of turtles mating)
Price: RM55.00/adult (min. 3 persons)
 |
| Hell no! You won't see a free show of turtles mating! |
This activity includes you watching turtles lay their eggs and freeing baby turtles to the sea. My baby turtle was named Leonardo, a girl.
A guide who steers the noiseless motorboat will explain all there is about mangroves. If you're lucky (like me), you'll spot some animals on the way such as squirrels, a few species of snakes and a family of jumping monkeys.
If you're interested to join this activity, do make sure you keep your lights switched off. It disorients the turtles when they struggle to get back to sea.
3. Mangrove River Cruise (Cherating River)
Price: RM50.00/adult (min. 3 people)
 |
| An educational river cruise. |
4. Firefly Ibok River, Kemamam
Price: RM50.00/adult (min. 3 people)
-----Sorry no picture as it was so dark there! -----
My advise: Go when there are no moon rays lighting up the sky. And leave your cameras at home. Its dead weight. Hint: Pitch dark.
5. ATV Jungle Adventure
Price: RM50.00/adult (min 4 people), only at Legend Resort.
 |
| Love it to death! Need I say more? |
Price depends on your luck. Cherating is so close to Kemamam, Terengganu that the keropok lekor is authentic as it gets. =p
 |
| I just happen to buy my stock from Kamal (Pak Die) Keropok Lekor. |
Price: RM35.00/adult
I believe this is the only island found at Cherating. Do expect to get really, REALLy wet when you join this experience and wear slippers!
 |
| You'll also be jungle trekking in your WETNESS! He he he. |
8. Snorkeling
Price: RM260.00 per boat (min. 6 people)
 |
| Spotted some people snorkeling during my Island Trip. |
9. Visit Fisherman Village & Kemaman Town
Price: RM35.00/adult for three hours
 |
| Witness yourself the proud catches of fishermen in the village. |
10. Swimming
FREE of charge in the right hotel/resort of course. If you despise or got tired of swimming in saltwater, you could always swim in the swimming pool. Hik hik hik.
 |
| The Legend Resort Cherating has one of the best pools in town. Mind you! |
Lastly before I end this post, do enjoy your stay at Cherating!
PS: All of these activities can be arranged at The Legend Resort Cherating. Read my post herehttp://ignorantbrat.blogspot.com/2012/06/review-legend-cherating-beach-resort.html to get the details.

You're really an ignorant brat. You think it's stressful for the mother turtle to have all these idiotic human surrounding it yet you're taking pics of it with flash. Is that you holding a baby turtle?!
good info! m about to stay there for one night. what activity should i choose hmm..
Thank you very much. This post helps me to get an idea about what to do in Cherating. It's much better than any other tourism site!
i went to the turtle sanctuary and it is free. releasing baby turtles back to the ocean cost RM5 each. but i truly enjoy the experince *smilez*
