Tioman is the largest in a volcanic group of islands off the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia called the Seri Buat Archipelago. Tioman's natural beauty is its biggest attraction. Its lush emerald tropical jungle, covering about 12,000 hectares of the island, and its pristine mountain streams and waterfalls are home to dozens of protected species of exotic mammals, birds and flowers.



Tioman's spectacular and unmistakable profile is provided by Gunung Kajang. Towering over 1038 meters high, this oft cloud-shrouded extinct volcano is not only Tioman's highest mountain, but it's also the highest mountain of any island off Peninsular Malaysia's coast and will push even the most hard-core hikers and rock-climbers to the limit of their ability.
