Getting to Cherating

By express bus

In Kuala Lumpur you just have to find your way to one of the bus stations, named Pudu Raya, Pekeliling or Hentian Putra.

We would recommend Pudu Raya as there is a large number of express bus operators. Check out the fares at Plusliner and get on a bus to Kuantan or Kuala Terengganu, which takes about 5 hours. Over there either connecting busses or taxis will take you to Cherating (about 40 km). The journey takes about an hour more or less.

By air

You can get to Kuantan by air as well. There are a few flights daily, operated by Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia. From Kuantan airport you can take a taxi to Kuantan bus station or head straight to Cherating.

By car

From Kuala Lumpur you just follow the east bound highway, direction to Kuantan and Kemaman. Normally it takes about 3 hours to reach Cherating.
