Pulau Tioman is a hot scuba diving spot with its numerous gorgeous coral reefs, pretty much the best place to start if you intend to earn a scuba-diving certification.
A panoramic view of the island is by itself awe-inspiring! From splendid rocky cliffs to a gigantic ocean of spellbinding blue, it is overwhelmingly picturesque. The island is indeed perfect for a slow holiday packed with swimming, sunbathing, lazing and not forgetting great food and company of the locals.
Pulau Tioman is also home to several attractions. Air Batang is a perfect village along the coast for backpackers, while Genting Village is a great alternative with its dark grey granite boulders lying above glistening soft sand and surrounded by lush rainforest hills. Juara lies on the eastern side of the island, a great place for surfing and trekking. About a two-hour ferry ride from Mersing, tourists will, however, be required to take another transit to their resorts.
