Pulao Tioman
Tioman is the largest of group of 64 volcanic islands,
dottering the South China Sea. Tioman is magnificent island in
the sun, with good reefs for diving and crystal-clear water for
swimming. Legends has it that Pulau Tioman is the resting ground
of a beautiful dragon princess who, whilst flying from China to
her beloved in Singapore, sought solace in the crystal-clear waters
of the South China Sea. Pleased with the island's charms, she
discontinued her journey, forsaking her happiness to give pleasure
and comfort to passing travellers by turning herself into an island.
Pulau Tioman is accessible by boat from Mersing of
Tanjung Gemuk jetty which takes about 3 to 4 hours. Or one can
also take a plane from either Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kuantan.
Accommodation comes in the form of delightful wooden
chalets on the beach or in luxurious hotel rooms at the Berjaya
Tioman Beach Resort. Whichever the choice, comfort and hospitality
is assured.
