Tioman is the biggest and most impressive island at the east coast. There is a brisk jungle covers a ridge on the west section of the island, which ends at the idyllic location of a beautiful palm fringed beach. Tioman offers a wide range of activities for visitors: snorkeling in crystal clear water, discover the beautiful underwater world when you go diving, or just laze on the beach while you work on that tan. Also, there is a jungle on the island that is just begging to be explored. The dense forest is a habitat for many kinds of flora and fauna.

Tioman was discovered as a holiday destination quite some time ago. It was the setting for the supposedly mythical magical island of Bali Hai from the 1958 Hollywood movie 'South Pacific'. In the 70s the Time magazine selected Tioman as one of the world's most beautiful islands.

Tioman is still rated as one of the world's most beautiful islands. It presents itself as a paradise island in the tropics. But sometimes you have to search for this paradise off the beaten track.

    Hi, I'm Ganga from Kuala Lumpur. S.K.Nair, your travel pics are stunningly beautiful. I like you Angkor Wat set. AJ, you can reach Tioman by boat from the little SE coastal town of Mersing. There are regular taxi and bus services from KL to Mersing but you may have to make some transit connections. The Malaysian Tourism in KL will be able to give more info on how to get there. The transport system in Malysia is satisfactory. The Ferry ride takes about an hour. The sea approach offers beautiful views of the island. There's more to sea and snorkeling to Tioman. Take a walk along the village (kampong) paths where Time seems to have stopped. If you are adventerous you can trek across the island.

    Help wanted, fishing off Tioman: I am planning a trip to Tioman now for next May 2208. Taking over my parents, and will meet my brother there. My brother, Dad and I are really keen game fisherman. We have fished in Malaysia a few times, off Langkawi, Permagil and Tioman. Permagil is really not suitable for accomodation for my folks, my brother and and his three one year olds. Last time a fished at Tioman two years ago I found it difficult to get good boat and fishing in. The main technique we like to fish is Trolling, but live bait and jigging also. I would be so grateful of suggestions where to fish and contacts for good boat hire. We are there for two weeks I'd like to hire a boat every other day, all day as we can only get away with so much fishing. I would be really grateful of any advice. AJ

    Hi AJ, I am sorry but I don't know much about the availability of boats and I am too far from Tioman to ask anyone around. Hopefully someone else who stumbles on these images might know more.

    Tioman will always be a special place for me, it is the first island where i did my first solo travel. I've always been scared of travelling over open water (i blame steven spielberg) but experiencing that beautiful place has made me a convert. I've been there 4 times since and it was enjoyable each time. I would recommend Panuba Beach Resort or Kg. Air Batang if you want peace and quiet and better beaches, compared to a much 'happening' Salang. Ever since they built the new jetty at Salang, the beach is just not the same anymore but hey, i havent been there in 2 years maybe they've clean up... I'm dying to go this year, and planning to stay in Kg. Mukut, I know they have a waterfall and the highest peak there.. anyone been there before?

    First time been there in Tekek and Juara in 1994.That time, Pelangi Air still operating from Kuantan to Tioman using Dornier which can accomodate 18 passengger.I have to cross (jungle trekking) from tekek to Juara instead of renting a boat at a cost more than rm 150.00 at that time.
    Second time in 2005.Took a ferry from Tg Gemok to Tekek, than to Juara with 4WD.Still crossing the jungle at a cost of RM 25.00 per person for a journey of 25 minutes.Better still especially for those who love to tracking by vehicle.
    But now, my friend said , the track cannot be use by 4WD anymore.It become very terrible and only suitable for bulldozer and "Santaiwong" (lori hantu) only. It was because, that is the only track to cross the island.The Gov will upgrade it and at the same time people have to use it as their daily track.The project delay cause of the reason that not everybody know.May be you know.I have to come again on my official duty next month.So I will judge it on my own.

    We went to Tioman in March and we're going again this August.

    Those pictures you took are really spectacular. But amazingly, Tioman is really like that. It's a gorgeous paradise, so natural and so wild and rugged, as if going back 1000 years.

    Time stands still in Tioman. This is how I would describe it.

    We climbed the Gunung Kajang mountain with the local guide there, Mr. Iwan. It was like being in Jurassic Park.

    We saw huge centipedes, roaring underground rivers, booby-trap boulders and caves, as well as out-sized flying foxes, even some of the vegetation looked alien, covered in knitting-needle like spikes.

    I can't wait for August to come, book the ferry and be back in Tioman, the island where time stands still.
