Pulau Tioman is the largest in a group of 64 volcanic islands which includes Pulau Seri Bulat, Pulau Sembilang, Pulau Tulai, Chebeh, Pulau Labas and Pulau Renggis. Blessed with miles and miles of soft white sand, swaying palms and cool waterfalls it is located about 80 km northwest off Peninsular Malaysia's east coast.
Tioman is a relatively small island measuring only about 12 x 7.3 miles. It is approximately half the size of Singapore. Culminating at 1040 meters, it is surrounded by reefs, but no roads: with the exception of 2km at the airport.
Noted for crystal clear water as far down as 35 metres, Pulau Tioman is a veritable garden of colourful marine life, offering underwater sportsmen some of the best site in the world. Said to be the final resting place of a fabled dragon princess who had turned herself into an island in the South China Sea, Pulau Tioman is truly one of the most beautiful islands in the region.
