Malaysia Pulau Tioman

Holidaying in Tioman is cheap, about 2 hours drive from Singapore.
Take a high speed ferry (Seagull-Rm45) to Kg Genting, it will stop at the old jetty for a walking distance to Idaman Resort
Tel:07-7991803 to book for a chalet (2 twin beds for 4 at Rm80/night with aircon)
Food is about Rm10 per meal (Rm3.80 equals US$1.00)
As the map shows, there are many islets for you to choose to stay in. Kg Tekek
is right now under renovation and is kind of messy.
Hire a speedboat to visit the islands and go snorkelling for around RM70 per person.
3 days 2 nights is roughly Rm45+Rm40+Rm60+RM70=RM215 (US$56)

Just a quick point of interest to regular Tioman visitors, or those wishing to go there in the future. Since we go to Tioman quite regularly, we're seeing more and more travellers, especially from overseas, arriving at the Mersing jetty too late to catch their ferry, because it's full. I think the reasons are: 1) The recent popularity boom Tioman has been enjoying. 2) The recent rule prohibiting passengers from sitting on the ferry sun-deck. 3) All other ferry types have discontinued, including the fast-ferries and the slow ferries, as well as the catamaran from Singapore All this resulted in a higher chance of passengers left stranded during the busy holiday spells and weekends. In light of above, my advice to those who've booked a Tioman resort, or want to go to Tioman during the weekend or a public holiday: book your ferry tickets as far in advance as possible, so you won't be stranded at the departure jetty due to the ferry for that day being already full. You can get tickets from the ferry operators direct, Blue Water, or from Tiomanferry.com.
