Tioman is the largest of group of 64 volcanic islands, dottering the South China Sea. Tioman is magnificent island in the sun, with good reefs for diving and crystal-clear water for swimming. Legends has it that Pulau Tioman is the resting ground of a beautiful dragon princess who, whilst flying from China to her beloved in Singapore, sought solace in the crystal-clear waters of the South China Sea. Pleased with the island's charms, she discontinued her journey, forsaking her happiness to give pleasure and comfort to passing travellers by turning herself into an island.

Pulau Tioman is accessible by boat from Mersing of Tanjung Gemuk jetty which takes about 3 to 4 hours. Or one can also take a plane from either Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kuantan.

Accommodation comes in the form of delightful wooden chalets on the beach or in luxurious hotel rooms at the Berjaya Tioman Beach Resort. Whichever the choice, comfort and hospitality is assured.
