Malaysia Islands Offer Wonders To Everyone

Recently two weeks ago I and my family just have vacationed in one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia, Pulau Tioman (Tioman island). It is located on the west coast of Malaysia along Terengganu state, facing the South China Sea. For your information, the year 2008 is declared by the State Government of Terengganu as "Visit Terengganu Year" and there are a lot of charms waiting everyone.

Travel by boat takes about 3 hrs from the jetty to reach there. Along the boat journey you are amazed with the natural beauty of the sea and surroundings. The boating was so exciting and the weather on the day we went was sunny and breezy.

The weather is great on Tioman island, almost all year shining in the hot sun.

Upon arriving I could see a lot of tourists, mainly foreigners, enjoying themselves playing beach football with some just lying down on the white sandy beach for sunbathing. Others were snorkeling on the sea surface.

Traveling to Tioman is quite inexpensive. It can be as luxurious as you want, but if you are looking for an affordable vacation, Tioman provides that too.

In Tioman we stayed in the chalet within our budget for three days. But, if you are looking for luxury hotels there is the Berjaya Hotel with world class facilities provided.

You have many options on where to stay and how to get there. You can stay in a beachfront wooden chalet or home instead of a hotel if you like. Tioman is fairly convenient for everyone within a wide range of your budget.

In the chalet we stayed, the facilities provided were very comfortable with local and western food available. There were also facilities for divers who wish to dive and explore the natural beauty under the sea. For myself, I just experienced diving nearby the island at the distant not as deep as pro divers. But still I could see the amazing underwater life like green turtles, colorful fish and corals.

For pro divers, you can take boat to small islands surrounding Tioman island which you can enjoy diving in a deeper and more challenging environment. Among the best diving spots are Terumbu Kili and Pulau Lima.

Clear waters, sun-drenched beaches, and unspoiled tranquility are the main attractions of Malaysia's islands. The Islands have been sought after havens of peace from the turbulent outside world, a tradition that is evidenced today by their status as international holiday destinations. Its underwater scenery and marine life are absolutely stunning. Beneath the waves lies the fascinating world of coral reefs and underwater life awaiting to be discovered.

As long as you love sun, sand, and sea, anywhere you stay in this island promises a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. The true charm lies in the white sandy beaches, clear waters and rich diversity of marine life. If you are the true lover for natural beauty then these islands are the "must visit" islands for your next holiday or vacation.

Variety? Again, if you are looking for multiple vacation ideas, Tioman is your top choice. There are plenty of things to do in Tioman. This ranges from relaxing on the beautiful beaches, enjoying beautiful sunsets, fishing from piers, boating, jet skis, other water activities, golfing, and more. Enjoy great food, entertainment, nightlife, interesting people, and so much more.

Tioman is perfect for anyone. Whether you are a family taking your children, an older couple taking time together, a group traveling with friends, a student wanting to party on spring break, or a couple wanting to find romance, Tioman will offer it all.
