Tioman Island

Last tuesday a few friends and I headed for a holiday after our training/exams. We went to Tioman :D


The journey was pretty long as the bus from Melaka to Mersing took about 4 hours? If not mistaken stoppin to pick up and drop passengers at Muar and Kluang.

The ferry ride was long too compared to Redang which I went a couple years back.



As for the place between these two island well. It definetly hard to call which is better..
Foodwise Tioman wins hands down. They have cafes/restaurants/a bar selling food. Any kind of food you want you can get it.
Swimmin wise however I personally feel that Redang is a whole lot better.
But for more activities/shoppin Tioman is better as they have a duty free shop.
Tioman is very well developed compared to Redang.
I think on MY scale of 10. Redang is 10/10. Tioman will sit beside it at 9.5/10. Very hard to decide which is better. But if given a chance I will definely go back.



Caught this the first morning with a friend.

Pored hot water on it then dugged in. It was sooooooooo GOOD!





Went to the waterfall as well at the southern part of the island.









53MYR. Cheap! Especially the beer...fuuuu..... had one before snorkellin even. 2.5 for limau ais. 3 for a Bud. What would you choose?

Oh price wise. Well the food prices are STEEP. YOU gotta budget yourself out with activities and food.
My holiday cost around 380. Inclusive transportation/food/activities/alcohol/lodging/etc. Quite resonable I think.

While holidaying at Tioman island hotels all I did was go for long walks along the shore and have an occasional swim. I just lazed about.
