Guys,
What do you think about ferry service during Chinese new year: will it be safe to travel by ferry or better to wait until March?
Thanks.
As you might imagine Tioman is an absolute zoo during CNY. But the issue is wider than just Tioman. Many travelers overnight in Mersing, so that'll be a zoo as well. Then the ferries, they'll .... [you get the picture I think ].vink2 wrote:Guys,

Eagle, can you post a link to where it is on the map? I've tried various searches (from there www, and standalone on Google/Maps but nothing definitive comes up). Is it down on the south coast adjacent to the Japamala Resort?Strong Eagle wrote:I totally agree with JR8 about the ferry. It's not reliable even when there isn't a holiday. People climbing over rails to get onto the boat. Huge delays. Take the plane or get a fast boat charter... much faster that your average ferry... also a lot more expensive.
I also agree that it is late to book for CNY... my favorite place, Minang Cove, (http://www.tiomanislandresort.net/) is sold out.
Yes, down south... a couple of maps, below. Long way from Kg. Tekek but it's a short walk to Kg. Makut where there are places to eat... lovely small town. You really won't do much at Minang except snorkel, dive, eat, swim, or walk into town... great place to do nothing.JR8 wrote:Eagle, can you post a link to where it is on the map?

I'm just curious as I've spent a few months on Tioman but can't say I'm familiar with this place: Hence curious!
p.s. Also proximity to Kg. Tekek can really change your experience. I.e. transport, and alternative exploring and dining options.
