Tioman Island (Malay language: Pulau Tioman) is a small island in Pahang, Malaysia. It is located around 60 kilometers (40 miles) off the east coast of the state, and is some 20 kilometers (12 miles) long and 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) wide.
The densely forested island is sparsely inhabited, and is surrounded by numerous coral reefs, making it a popular scuba diving spot. There are also a lot of resorts and chalets around the island which has duty-free status. There are some 8 villages on the island and around 18 beaches, most of them still very pristine and only accessible by boat.

The major gateway to the island is Mersing, a coastal town west of Johor state. The common route for most visitors is to drive or take a bus ride to Mersing then take the ferry out from there. Bluewater Express runs the main ferry service. There are generally two or three rides per day and the trip to Kampung Salang takes around two to three hours depending on the tide, weather and how long it stops at other villages for passengers to disembark.
There’s another pier at Teluk Gading (formerly known as Tanjung Gemuk). It’s located in Pahang state and it’s about 50km away from Mersing.
