By Land/Sea:
If you are not flying to Tioman, you have to get to Mersing, a small coastal
town in the state of Johor, and from there take a boat to Tekek village, Tioman.
You can get to Mersing from most points of the compass by bus. From KL, take
a bus from Pudu Sentral bus station; from Johor Bahru - Larkin Bus Terminal; and if
you are on the east coast, you can get a bus from most of the main towns (Kuantan,
Terenggannu, Kota Baru) to Mersing.
On the KL-Mersing route, buses are operated by Transnasional. From KL (tel:
03 20311430) they leave Pudu Sentral bus station three times per day, at 11.00 am,
10.30 pm and 11.00 pm. Travel time is approx. 6 hours (!) and the cost is RM
19.50 single.
From Mersing (tel: 07 7993155) there are four services, at 11.30 am, 12.30
pm, 6.30 pm and 10.00 pm. Travel time and fare are the same as the KL-Mersing
journey.
Once you get to Mersing you will have three options to get to Tioman, details
of which are given below.

Please note:
1.
Ferries do not depart on a regular basis, but are dependent on tide levels.
Sometimes you wil be transferred by a smaller boat to the waiting ferry, just
outside the harbour.
2.
Departure times for other boats also vary, and even though you might be given
a certain departure time it is common for the boats to wait in the harbour for
30 minutes or more to get as many passengers as possible. Be patient - you are
on holiday! Travel times are approximate, and depend on sea conditions.
3.
Before leaving Mersing you will be asked to pay the RM 5 Marine Park
Conservation fee.
F
rom Singapore:
A cheap way to get to Tioman from Singapore is by bus to Mersing and ferry
from there to Tioman (see above for information on ferries).
The easiest way seems to be Transnasional direct from Singapore to Mersing:
departure from Kallang Bahru/Lavender Street junction (lorry park) at 9am, 10am
and 10pm. Only S$ 11.10.
Call Pan Malaysia Express: 2947034, or 2947035. Fax 2991952.
Alternatively catch a bus from the terminal at Queen St/Ban San St. Take the
Singapore-Johore Express directy to Larkin Bus Terminal in Malaysia. Only S$
2.40, aircon.
From LBT, take Adikberadkik Express service at 9.00am, 10.00am,
9.00pm and 10.30pm (ticket counters no 6 & 30) or Transnasional service at 10.00
am, 11.00am, 10.30pm and 11.00 pm.
Remember however, that if you leave Singapore too late, you might not be able
to catch a ferry or speedboat in Mersing the same day. It's always best to try
to be there as early as possible.
