Upon arrival at Mersing, head to your waiting private speedboat for briefing. Due to increasing human activity on Pulau Tioman, this tour will visit the waters near rustic Pulau Seri Buat (15 miles off Pulau Tioman) for guaranteed blue waters. Explore a tropical paradise covered with soft white powder sand bordered by crystal-clear waters and rustic green mountains. For adventure seekers, you can hike up to the peak of Pulau Seri Buat for breathtaking views of the sea and Pulau Tioman. Conditions permitting, you can even jump off a nearby cliff into the sapphire blue warm waters and coral reefs full of fish and marine life - an ideal snorkeling spot. Those who wish to snorkel may get outfitted with the supplied set of snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, life vest and fins), and learn how to wear them properly with the help from the speedboat captain. Beginners can also participate in an optional snorkeling lesson with the speedboat captain.
