We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.

How do I get to Pulau Tioman?

For locals living in Malaysia, just hitch a ride to the town of Mersing and wait for your boat at the harbour - the recommended time for all tourists is to reach there 1 hour before your boat sets off, as this gives you ample time to find your bearings and take in the beautiful scenery all around you. The ferry schedule changes by each month. Kindly check with Paya Beach Resort for the most updated one for your peace in mind.

Also, you could book the “complete add-on to get to Paya Beach Resort” both from Malaysia and Singapore. For those people heading down to Tioman Island (even it’s actually a north-bound trip!), upon the booking process in the [Paya Beach Resort website].(https://www.payabeach.com/). The land transportation from Singapore to the ferry terminal estimates 4 hours. But no worries, there will be a short break at the highway service area for a toilet break and nibbles.
