We are out again after two months of working our bum off, this time no plane ride this time we are heading to Tioman island in Johore Bahru Malaysia.
Tioman Island lies off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the South China Sea. It's a nature reserve, ringed by beaches. The area is known for its dive sites, which have corals, sea fans and sea sponges, as well as shipwrecks. The island is covered in tropical rainforests, home to butterflies, lizards and monkeys. On the east coast, the Juara Turtle Project is a hatchery that protects and studies sea turtles. courtesy of Wikipedia

1. How did we get there?
From Singapore we took the 1st train from Ang Mo Kio at 5:15 in the morning and alight to Woodlands, then transfer by bus 913 to Woodlands checkpoin, from the checkpoint another bus transfer 170 going to Malaysia custom, after all the clearing and scanning of luggages take the same bus number going to Larkin Bus Terminal.
Pointers:
Pointers:
- Larkin to Mersing Jetty this is a two hours coach ride without stopping, you better eat something and do your toilet business before you embark in this journey.
- Once you arrived at Mersing Port Jetty immediately you need to take taxi to Tanjong Gemok if your boat is from there, taxi ride will be approximately 35 to 40 mins depending on the traffic, taxi rate should be around RM 60.00 to 80.00 as of this writing. There are no buses going to Tanjong Gemok in case you're trying to find one online.
- After all the required road traveling it will be followed by a 2 hours boat ride to the island.
- Take a motion sickness pills if you are not confident in traveling by boat, as the whole ride can be rough and you don't want to cause trouble during the ride.
