  • After a long journey, I’ve finally arrived on Tioman Island! 🌴 In today’s video, I give you a tour of my budget room, then head out to explore the local beach and soak in those island vibes. I even rented a push bike to explore more of what this beautiful island has to offer. Come along for the ride as I cycle along the coast, show you hidden spots, and share a first look at Tioman Island’s quieter side.
    Whether you’re a budget traveler or just curious about life on this island, there’s plenty to see in this first taste of Tioman Island

    I was lucky enough to visit that lovely island about 30 years ago. Still looks amazing!
    Really awesome how they patched you up after your tumble!

      I love it here! It’s not the biggest tourist island and I think it’s perfect the way is!
      Malaysian Baywatch was on the case, within seconds!

    I hope you have a great time. If you can walk ( or ride) around to ABC though I would, it’s much more natural, no cars, just bikes. Beach, Hut, Jungle it’s just on around the coast from where you were where that Big bird statue was. Also, the area you started from they have massive Bats. Tioman is absolutely the best place I have visited in the world, it’s magical.

    That's a beautiful beach.. Let's hope no instagram influencer overly promoting it that might ruin the chilled atmosphere there

    Tioman is where the Hollywood movie "south pacific' was shot long ago. They used a fake island name Bali Hai

    Gee, you hurt yourself. I've been following your hikes as you like to go off the beaten tracks and I admire your guts. Places like Tioman I've never been to. Stay safe. @Eric(greeteast)

      Thank you so much Eric, I wouldn’t say it’s guts but a sense of adventure :) Hope you’re well?

    Tioman is less affected by monsoon. It is more severe up north. States like kelantan, terengganu and pahang.
    Our paradise islands will not change much don't worry. Only west coast islands are developed since long ago eg pangkor, penang, langkawi. Most of our islands are full of jungles. Marine life is abundants. Bio diversity preserved for future generations.

    • @olderbackpacker
      @olderbackpacker  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Good to know that there’s less chance of a monsoon hitting me 😀 Marine life around Tioman is amazing. I saw a group of dolphins last night :)

    • @keangwooichoo6138
      @keangwooichoo6138 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @olderbackpacker my advice. From tioman just go to West coast eg melaka upwards. Because starting Tuesday pahang, kelantan, terenngganu will be hit by monsoon rain.
