Tioman Island...Pulau Tioman

Out of the water the story is pretty idyllic. Pulau Tioman is the largest of a group of 64 volcanic islands clustered off the coast of Malaysia in the South China Sea. This truly magnificent sun kissed island is world known for it's stunningly colorful reefs for diving and crystal-clear water for snorkeling and swimming. Scuba-Naut is affiliated with Salang Pusaka, a luxury resort just off the white coral beach of Salang village. Hailed as one of TIME Magazines 10 Most Beautiful Islands in the World, Pulao Tioman's waters are a protected Marine Park and it's land is dense tropical forest. Water taxi's are the only way to beach hop. No cars, no horns, no hustle or bustle – just adventure filled days flowing into picture postcard sunsets and star filled tropical nights.

Legend has it that Pulau Tioman is the resting ground of a beautiful dragon princess who, whilst flying from China to her beloved in Singapore, sought solace in the crystal-clear waters of the South China Sea. Pleased with the island's charms, she discontinued her journey, forsaking her happiness to give pleasure and comfort to passing travellers by turning herself into an island. It was also featured in the Holllywood cinema classic South Pacific as the mystical Bali Hai.

Pulau Tioman is accessible by boat from the jetty in Mersing. The journey takes about 2.5 hours to get to Salang, the last stop on the trip. Or one can also take a plane from either Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kuantan.

Pulau Perhentian

After less than an hour on a boat from the east coast of Malaysia, the laid-back atmosphere and the natural beauty of the Perhentian islands immediately transport you to a different world. The white sand is dotted with sun-worshipping holiday makers, some retreating to the shade for a glass of freshly squeezed juice. A group of scuba divers are boarding a boat to venture out into the turquoise waters and submerge themselves in the underwater wonderland. Later, as the sun sets, a quiet buzz of music and chatter fills the air, together with the thin wisp of smoke from the barbeque fire.

The Perhentian Islands are two islands named Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island) and Pulau Perhentian Besar (Large Perhentian Island). The Malay name Perhentian is translated as “place to stop” and this is exactly what these two islands were for traders travelling between Malaysia and Bangkok in years gone by. These islands are still a gorgeous place to stop and rest today, albeit for tourists disconnecting from the stress and routine of everyday life and not for weary seafaring traders.

The islands remain relatively untouched and the only permanent inhabitants live in a small fishing village on Perhentian Kecil. Apart from footpaths that cut through the jungle, there are no roads on the islands. The only way to get around is by walking through the jungle or taking a sea taxi. If you tread carefully, you may even encounter some of the islands’ shy wildlife on the way, such as monitor lizards, fruit bats, squirrels or even the elusive mouse deer. Simple chalets and some moderately luxurious resorts line the picturesque beaches along with restaurants, dive centres and boat operators advertising their services with hand-painted signs.

Perhaps it is the stretches of white beach or the crystal clear water and the superior scuba diving. Perhaps it is the untouched forests or the relaxed atmosphere and unspoiled charm. We like to think that is a little bit of all of this that makes the Perhentian Islands the perfect place to stop and take some time out.

Pulau Kapas : Kapas Island

Kapas Island answers to all your hopes for an idyllic tropical island – swaying palm trees, untouched jungle, turquoise water gently lapping at the beach and colourful coral reefs just off the shore.

This picturesque getaway is less than 5 km from the mainland and is reached within 15 minutes by speedboat from the coastal fishing village of Marang. Its accessibility from the mainland makes it popular with locals for daytrips and the fairly good availability of budget accommodation means that it is also popular with backpackers.

The resorts on Kapas Island are mostly spread out over three beaches on the western shore, facing the mainland. Accommodation here ranges from dorm rooms to moderately priced air-conditioned chalets. More luxurious accommodation is available on Gemia Island, a small islet just a few hundred metres northwest of Kapas.



Pulau Kapas means Cotton Island in Malay and this peculiar name is attributed to the pure white beaches that are the trademark of this island. The name comes as no surprise once you have walked along these beaches: the sand is soft and white and slopes gently into the crystal clear water.

Another reason why Kapas Island is popular is because of the excellent snorkelling in the waters surrounding the island. There is an abundance of corals and other marine life, visibility is good and the water is shallow and calm. Because the coral is mainly around the rocky edges of the island, you can still go swimming off the beautiful beaches, even at low tide.


Kapas Island may be easy to reach, but it is much harder to leave this island after being immersed in its beauty.
