  1. Johor National Park conservation fee, really shows Malaysia Boleh. Shouldn’t that if were to be collected then it should be Pahang National Park Corporation instead? If it does exist.
    Unless one intended to disembark at Pulau Babi / Pulau Rawa / Pulau Tinggi then I think it might be applicable if any of these island falls under National Park.

  2. hi, i would like to know if tioman island is still save for this season… me and my friends are palnning to go on 11th of december this year… any suggestion would much appriciated.. thanks – shei#

  3. We had our holiday in tioman during the school holiday in sept 2015, stayed in berjaya resort and booked our ferry ticket via blue water ferry counter as suggested by govisittioman.com, although there is no written confirmation from the ferry counter but we don’t see any problem during ticket collection. However, it is better to check the ferry schedule 1 day before travel as our departure was delayed for 1 hr, we could have reach later later than waiting at the jetty if we checked earlier.
