HISTORY OF TIOMAN ISLAND

Tioman has been used for thousands of years by
fishermen as an important navigation point and a
source of fresh water and wood. During the past
thousand years, it has played host to Chinese, Arab, and
European trading ships, and often Chinese porcelain
shards can be found on beaches around the island.
In more recent history, Tioman played host to both the
British and the Japanese navies during the Second
World War, and the waters around the island are littered
with war remains (including HMS Repulse and HMS
Prince of Wales).

>Speaking of Nipah Tioman, there’s a
reason why you might want to stay until
dark at this isolated beach.
The beach is at the edge of a forest and
the sand is golden and clean.

Have a refreshing swim after a <
hike! Take note that despite the
many beaches on Tioman, not all of
them are good for swimming
because of dead corals that can cut
your feet.

Juara is your best bet for a swim!

>Learn everything about the
marine life (including flora and
fauna) present in the seas
surrounding Tioman Island.
Entrance is free.

Besides the clear waters, <
Tioman Island is a good place to
learn diving as you have a wide
selection of dive schools (like
Dive Asia) to choose from.

More importantly, PADI
certification is cheap here at
around RM 1,000!

>You don’t have to put your head
underwater to see the fish,
there’s still kayaking! A lot of
hotels rent out kayaks.

Like Langkawi, Tioman is a duty<
free zone. So if you’re in the mood
for shopping, head over to Vision
Duty Free in Tekek village.
You can get cheap batik prints and
chocolate.

FUN FACT!!!!!!

In the 1970s, TIME Magazine awarded Tioman Island the
accolade "One of the world's most beautiful islands." It still
is of course, although these days, there are a fair number
more resorts and hotels.
