Objective of the link:
This link provide the information of how we can have a great variety of activity days and weekends on land, in the water and even in the air.Our activities are based all around the Tioman Island at some of its best venues.

Description on the individual ideation of the link :
My part of our website is to come out for the Activities around the Tioman Island. It is a fantastic watersports haven. Here you can indulge in scuba diving,snorkelling,rock climbing,waterskiing and windsurfing. It is truly a wonderful playground for lovers of these sports. You should not miss the chance to see the rich marine life of Tioman waters.

WALK AND EXPLORE THE ISLAND


Because of the absence of roads on Tioman, the only way to reach all the attractions of the island is by boat. Many operators and resorts offer you the opportunity to see the highlights of Tioman in a one-day round-island tour. Typical stops along the way include:

• Asah waterfall just outside of Mukut Village
• A chance to photograph the twin peaks
• Duty free shopping in Tekek
• Snorkelling at the Marine Park headquarters
• Other villages
• Renggis Island

Round Island tours range from RM 80-120 per person, depending on the starting point, duration and type of boat used.

SCUBA DIVING


The abundance of marine life, accessibility and fairly good visibility makes Tioman one of the most popular diving destinations in Malaysia. There are many dive operators on the island offering boat and shore dives as well as instruction and certification.

There are over twenty dive sites on Tioman, with something for everyone from the newly certified to the experienced wreck diver. There underwater topography is diverse and Tioman is also one of the few places in Malaysia where you are likely to come across schools of dolphins.

If you enjoy exploring the underwater world, do your part to protect it. The golden rule, apart from never holding your breath, is to take only photographs and leave only bubbles! Below are some guidelines that every responsible diver must follow.

SNORKELLING


The warm, crystal clear water, the abundance of marine life and the fact that snorkelling trips are included in almost every resort package, means that there is only a very slight chance that you will leave Tioman without doing some snorkelling.

There are many patches of coral in the water in front of most villages and you can easily rent a mask and fins (and lifejacket if you wish) and wade into the water from the beach. Some of the better snorkelling spots need to be reached by boat and these are some spots that are popular stops for snorkelling outings:

- Tulai Island (Coral Island)
- Renggis Island
- Monkey Bay
- Marine Park

ROCK CLIMBING


Advanced climbers can attempt the full five-day climb to the top of the twin peaks, sleeping in hammocks at dizzying heights along the way. Only a few climbers have managed to reach the top to date. With such a challenging site, it is no wonder that international competitions and women’s record-breaking events have been hosted here recently.Tioman’s rock climbing is not only for experts: local guides that organise climbing expeditions are happy to show beginners the ropes at any of the other sites or at the base of the twin peaks.

WATERFALLS


The hilly terrain of the island has numerous places where mountain streams cascade over cliffs, granite boulders and deep rock pools to find their way to the sea. Reaching the waterfalls usually requires an uphill trek through the jungle, anything from 5 minutes to two hours long, but the gorgeous sight and the fresh, cool mountain water make the sweaty walk worthwhile every time.The highest waterfalls are the Asah waterfall close to Mukut village – which also has refreshingly cool mountain pools to swim in – and the Juara waterfall in the hillside behind Juara village. The rock falls behind Paya village is nothing more than a bubbling river rushing into the lagoon over a series of boulders, but a peaceful, natural sight nonetheless
