Malaysia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia. It is a nation full of wondrous sights ranging from traditional to historical and from marine to tropical. If you’re seeking an experience that involves Malaysia and all she has to offer in terms of marine, then look no further than Tioman Island, which was selected by TIME magazine as one of the most beautiful islands in the world during the 1970s.
If you’re looking to indulge in the best that Tioman has to offer, then you’re going to have to choose a Tioman Island Resort to spend your time in. There are many popular and iconic ones to choose from, such as the Berjaya Tioman Resort.
Tioman Island is popular for water-based due to a couple of main reasons. One being that the island is home to some of the most spectacular coral reefs in the region, resulting in a diverse and stunning spectrum of marine life. The second is that accommodation is more affordable compared to similar locales.
Snorkelling is especially popular on Tioman Island since there are no restrictions limiting traffic nor the amount of time people can spend snorkelling. The snorkel centres are also sheltered meaning they are very safe and even children can be seen swimming with a fair degree of freedom. The currents are weak and the waters are low, this means that anyone can easily glimpse the magical wonders that lie beneath the Tioman waters.
If you’re an experienced Scuba Diver, Tioman has various dive-crews that will take you to more challenging sites scattered throughout the island. These guided tours are in high demand since the experts know the best sites, and times, to embark on a dive.
Tioman Island is clearly the go-to spot around Malaysia for a water-centric holiday experience, so be sure to grasp the full extent of your journey.
