Like the rest of the east coast, most resorts on Pulau Tioman are closed from mid-October to February due to the monsoon season. The sea turtles start coming ashore around May.
Day 1 – Mersing to Tioman Island
Arriving on Tioman by ferry from Mersing, you’ll step straight into a tropical daydream. From the jetty, you’ll be taken to a laid-back, beachfront resort tucked away between the palm trees. The traditional style rooms are simply furnished but very comfortable and feature air-conditioning. There’s a swimming pool if you’d prefer not to swim in the sea. If you’re feeling active, trek into the wild heart of the island, thick with jungle and scattered with waterfalls.
Days 2-3 – R&R
The next couple of days are free for you to do as much or as little as you wish. Tioman is a great place to relax and switch off. If you’re feeling active grab a snorkel and explore the underwater world or trek into the forested island interior. In the evenings, you can sip an ice-cold beer at sunset, enjoy a candlelit dinner on the sand and tuck into freshly grilled fish.
Day 4 – Departure from Tioman Island
Early this morning it’s time to take the boat back to Mersing to continue your Malaysia adventure. If this is your last stop before you fly home you may want to spend a night at Kuala Lumpur airport as the journey back from will take a few hours.
