Pulau Tioman trip planner

Thick, verdant jungle blankets the hilly island of Pulau Tioman, dotted with steep cliffs and tumbling waterfalls, and filled with rare species such as bearcats, giant flying squirrels, slow lorises, and Tioman "walking" catfish. The waters surrounding the island hold teeming coral reefs just begging for a scuba, snorkeling, or freediving expedition. Although plenty of resorts operate on Tioman, the vast majority of the 20 x 11 km (12 x 7 mi) island remains pristine and undeveloped, with only a few roads skirting brief sections of the coastline. Those wishing for a more adventurous Pulau Tioman vacation need head a only short distance in any direction to find isolated wilderness or one of the traditional villages populated by friendly locals and enormous, roaming monitor lizards.
