In spite of Tioman's relatively modest size and geographical isolation, it does have a few not-to-be missed events on its calendar.

Tioman Festival 202

Be there or be square.

Tioman Royal Race

Billed as The Toughest Adventure Race in South East Asia, The Sultan Ahmad Shah (SAS) International Tioman Eco-Challenge, also known as the "Tioman Royal Race", is by now quite renown. Inaugurated in 2008, it will be organized for the 10th time in 2020.

Tioman Island Clean-up Day 2024

Tioman Island Clean-up Day usually involves over 100 volunteers, including Berjaya staff, kids from Tioman's school, media participants and even tv celebrities, all of whom put in plenty of sweaty back-breaking time on the ground in a mass clean-up effort of Tioman's beaches.

But it's not just man-made rubbish that is collected during Tioman Island Clean-up Day. To reduce the relentless crown-of-thorns starfish pressure on our coral gardens, as many of this voracious starfish predator as possible are caught by the participating divers and then disposed of also.

It is hoped that Tioman Island Clean-up Day will serve to strengthen our resolve to maintain our efforts to keep Tioman's ecosystems flourishing, both above and below the waterline, whilst simultaneously fulfilling our educational objectives by spreading the word on the importance of conservation.

Start In Tioman (a.k.a. SIT)

Start In Tioman is comprehensive dive certification program (PADI) and leisure dive trips and marine conservation efforts all rolled into one single endeavour. Its objective is to consistently and sustainably promote Tioman Island as Malaysia's top scuba diving destination, a position the island has garnered itself over the years.

But Start In Tioman, a joint effort by Malaysia's Ministry of Tourism, Tourism Malaysia, the Tioman Development Authority, Pahang State Government, Villagers Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd, the Divers Association and various diving centers, also zeroes in on creating awareness towards conserving Tioman's marine ecology. Start In Tioman does this by organizing bleach clean-ups, marine conservation round-tables, as well as artificial reef construction.
