Pulau Tioman - getting there and away
PLEASE BE WARNED!
Please check the tidal charts or weather forecast before leaving or planning your trip at www.kjc.gov. Island to check for is Tioman in the dropbox for all islands off Mersing ie pulau rawa, pulau besar, pulau sibu, pulau tioman, pulau pemanggil, pulau aur, pulau dayang... If you're planning to go to the islands during the Full Moon or when there is no moon, then be warned that there will be very extreme tidal conditions ie very high hightides and very low lowtides so boats may have difficulty leaving or entering the Mersing jetty. You may have to wait quite a while for the tidal change. Check the tidal charts.

- Seataxis around Tioman island
- The cost per person on a sea taxi ranges from RM10 to RM50 depending on the destination. These as seen in the photo are usually small horse-powered boats.
- Seabus around Tioman Island
- Seabus schedules are unpredictable but if you happen to be at the jetty at the right time, well ... take it as being in luck. Seabuses are cheaper but slower in getting to your destination. They usually ply the salang - abc - tekek route. However, with all seataxi and seabus operators, please take your own safety precautions. They tend to slack on the part of safety regulations.

- NB. If a return ticket for Mersing - Tioman - Mersing is purchased from the boat operators at Mersing, usually a discount of RM5/- is given for each return ticket. But usually travellers buy one way ticket to the island in which case, a Tioman - Mersing ticket can be bought from other boat operators. This allows greater flexibility in time schedule. Just wait at the jetty and hop onto any speedboat heading to the mainland. You can often buy the ticket on the boat, if there isn’t a full load.
