Addicted to underwater photography!
This is a top pick! ... Negara, we were desperate to get to the coast and cool down! Quite a few folks along the way had recommended Pulau Tioman, off the east coast of Malaysia, as a relaxing island with some good dive spots, so it seemed like the obvious choice for our next ...
The Hills ARE actually Alive
This is a top pick! ... all over the world working his magical Indian/Malay fusion - that is until he gave it all up to live a simple life here on Tioman cooking a decadent tourist menu by night and getting blind the rest of the waking day. And boy does he cook. Like a ...
Pulau Tioman
This is a top pick! After a hair raising 5 hr bus journey we arrived safely in Mersing where we get a ferry to Pulau Tioman, a tropical island 50km off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia. The bus stopped in Mersing about 5 mins from the ferry terminal where we were ...
Tioman Islands - 1 of top 10 islands in world !!!
This is a top pick! We left Mersing for the Tioman Islands on Tue 9th May 2006 With a Phil and Julie who we had met on our 1st day in the Perhentian Islands. We went across on a very packed 5.30pm Ferry (RM 70 return each) and arrived at ABC resort just before 8pm....It was ...
Island of Dr. Maru
This is a top pick! Pulau Tioman is the stuff of horror movies. Spirits on the island bring out the worst in people. I'm not talking about ektoplasmic variety, but rather the ethyl type. Tioman is a duty free island in an otherwise relatively expensive country to drink. ...
Anita's: Best Pizza in all of Asia
This is a top pick! Even though I got to play DJ down at the Nazri II bar, I figured that I had had enough of the drama on that side of the island. That and Hikka had left as well. So I headed down to see what was on the other end of the beach. Here I found some of the ...
Return to Pizza Island Tioman
This is a top pick! Almost 2 years after I first set foot on ABC beach on Pulau Tioman, I have returned to the island that serves the best Pizza in all of Asia. I've been longing for it as Australia didn't have anything that really satisfied my Pizza craving. After a long ...
Juara Beach
This is a top pick! For some reason we decided that sitting in my hammock reading a book and eating pizza was not enough and a trek over the island and thru the jungle was a good idea. We were going to leave our bags with Moktar and Lisa, but they said that we could only ...
Paradise at last
This is a top pick! ... , where we had decided to stay. Not a problem, we'll just hike over. Well, certainly the inner forests of Pulau Tioman are spectacular - a lush tropical rainforest of divine beauty and an impressive biodiversity of animals. However, 10minutes in I ...
Tioman Island
When I landed at the airport in Tekek (1 landing strip barely big enough to land a plane on) I expected there to be some clue as to where to go next. There was nothing but a scorching hot sun. I tracked down the phone number of the dive shop here (I ...
First foreign clinic experience
For a couple of days now I've been deaf in my right ear, which as you can guess, is very annoying. So today I gave up on ear drops and went to the clinic so they could tell me what was wrong. I had to fill out some forms including some info from my ...
Tioman Island - Walking on dream
... the cities and we got so much more than that. Sofia and I took the short bus ride and ferry trip over to Tioman island on the east coast of Malaysia after agreeing that we were in much need of some place we could cool down after the heat of KL. As ...
Boat capsized
we were supposed to go for our first night dive. We got all our gear together, went through a briefing and headed down the beach towards our little dive boat. It was dark, low tide and windy. As we struggled to get into the boat water from the massive ...
Erstes Reiseziel: Tioman
... aller Zeiten. Jumbo, 240 Plaetze, davon wohl nicht mal die Haelfte besetzt. Sehr angenehm. Dafuer der Weiterflug auf die Insel Tioman im Osten etwas ungemuetlich. Mitten im Flug fing die Maschine an zu heulen und jaulen - es war nicht mehr schoen (siehe ...
Back to island getaway
I had a couple of days free, so it was a no brainer that I spent those two days scuba diving in Tioman rather than just staying in KL. It was the third time I visited the island and I love is as much as ever. It was raining as soon as we got off the ...
Repos à la plage!
Vol avec un petit coucou de la compagnie locale direction l'île de Tioman, sur la côte est de la Malaisie. L'île, montagneuse et couverte de jungle, n'a qu'un tout petit bout de route, et la plupart des endroits ne sont accessibles qu'en bateau. Mes 2 ...

... the diving instructors, Two guys (torists) rented a canoe with the intention of paddling out to coral island (on of the islands near Tioman). This was a day after I arrived on the island. Either on their way back from or to coral island a storm came up. ...
Sisters holiday
... much better if we had an underwater camera cos most of our time was spent face down in the sea. Tioman has some of the best snorkelling and diving in Malaysia and though we didn't see and sharks or turtles it was still really cool. We saw plenty of sting ...
MALASIA
... de dos horas. El trasporte por ahora es lo mejor. Al llegar a Mersing subimos en un ferri (3 horas) y estamos en la isla Pulau Timoan. Esto es lo sería una isla para hacer el perro en la Wikipedia. También puedes hacer submarinismo pero lo dejo ...
Climbing the mountain
I just climbed Mount Kajang on Tioman island outside of Juara village. We initially took a 4x4 on this windy road across the island barely big enough for 1 car. Pretty freaky when I'm sitting in the back. The car was going to drop us off at our guide's ...
Tropical Paradise
On entering Malaysia we headed straight for the port town of Mersing to catch a ferry to Tioman Island. Arriving by boat you are greeted with palm fringed beaches and the interior of the island is completely covered in thick jungle. We decided to ...
Night Dive
Finally went on a night dive - this time just off the shore... we learned from last time... plus we still dont have a boat :P The dive was pretty cool, prefer diving when you can see, but still cool. We turned off our flashlights at one point and waved ...
Island time, here we come...
... for the small fishing town of Mersing on the East coast of Malaysia. From there we hopped on a ferry and made our way to Pulau Tioman, a small island (20km by 11km) to the luxury of our 25 ringgit a night beach hut....emphasise on the hut part! Our hut ...
Underwater at Pulao Tioman
... was a great day and I felt exhilarated—from the diving itself, but also from overcoming my fear. And so, in the end, Tioman met my earlier expectations by NOT meeting my later expectations—that is, it was what I had hoped it would be from my ...
Discovering Diving
... it was half empty), we all bundled into a taxi, went to Lavender bus stop, hopped on a bus and took off for Malaysia. We stopped at the border to clear customs (incredibly painless, although Bea accidentally got her Singapore Student Pass card stuck in ...
Tioman
I'm now on Tioman and if this is not paradise it comes pretty damn close. The cost of paradise a whopping 4 pounds a day, that's including food. The place I'm staying at is on the end of a long stretch before a small headland nicely secluded and consists ...
Island Life
... , where I could find the bus that would take me to Mersing. I had read in my guidebooks about the beautiful island Pulau Tioman, and I needed to make my way to Mersing before catching a boat to this little piece of paradise. Unfortunately, I received ...
