Getting There

From Mersing by speed ferry or speed boat

From Mersing to Tioman, you can go either by speed boat or speed ferry. The speed boat gets you to the island in about two hours. There is also a speedboat that leaves earlier than the alternative speed ferry. Operating hours are 10am - 4pm.

The speed ferry seat more people and take only marginally longer - perhaps taking 2.5 to 3 hours to the island. These cost approx. RM 70 return. The last boat is about 4:00 p.m. so don't get tricked by anyone saying there is a 24 hour service so they can sell you a ticket. When you take either kind of boat, you can ask them to drop you more..

From Kuala Lumpur by Air

Berjaya Air is a subsidiary of the Berjaya Resorts group, and transports guests to the Berjaya resort on Tioman. The service is also available for those traveling to Tioman but not staying at the resort. They have several Dash 7 aircraft, which are 48-seaters. It looks small, but it's safe, with experienced pilots and friendly cabin crew. By the way, don't be squeamish if at first you don't spot the landing strip. There IS one! We are told the pilots practised landing on postage stamps prior to taking this gig. More information can be found at their website.

From 1 April more..

From Tanjung Gemuk by Ferry

This is a new staging point in the state of Pahang between Endau and Rompin and it's about 30 minutes north of Mersing on the coast. All buses from KL to Mersing will pass this area, just ask the bus driver to let you off at Tanjung Gemuk jetty. If you are coming from KL, instead of exiting the North-South Expressway at Ayer Hitam and following the Kluang route, exit Seremban instead, follow Kuala Pilah, Muadzam Shah and along the coastal road.

There is only one ferry operating from Tanjung Gemuk. However, the ferry only takes between 1.5 - 2 hours and they leave on more..
