TreK Through The JuNgLe
With about 12,000 hectares of lush rainforests, refreshing mountain streams, waterfalls and a colourful menagerie of birds and mammals, Tioman is an excellent trekking destination.
Embark on a 7 kilometre, four-hour trek along the tekek - Juana trail. Walk through the hills for exciting encounters with monkeys, monitor lizards, scores of birds, insects and centuries-old trees. Then relax amidst the golden sands of Juana beach on the other side of the island.
Other popular treks cover trails across the villages of Gentling, Pay, Air Bating and Salang, with stops at Monkey Bay. Be sure to load up on water, snacks and insect repellent for a safe and enjoyable hike.

Diving Basics
· Respect marine life. Take nothing but pictures – and debris that may be floating in the water.
· Prevent accidental contact with the reef or kicking up sediment by practicing good fin and body control.
· Remind your boat crew to anchor away from the reef and make sure that all rubbish are stowed away.
Do not go where the path may lead,
go instead where there is no path and
leave a trail.
