Salang beach, Tioman Island |
Thinking of short getaway, most Johorian will just go to Singapore (nearest country) or Melaka (nearest state). lol. BUT, for me, I actually work in Singapore, so there is no point for me to go there again. In fact, there is another ideal short getaway destination to go- Tioman Island:))))))))
You will never know how much I like to spend my time in an island, with beaches, sun and sea. Most importantly, I can snorkel!!!!! It is just so perfect.
There are quite a number of islands you can choose to go- Berjaya, Salang, Paya, Juara, Genting and so on. ME and my two besties were planning to go Paya beach at first, but, the resort we wanted was fully booked already as our plan was quite last minute:( In the end, we chose to go Salang instead.
Just simply took a bus from Larkin bus terminal and alighted Mersing bus terminal. We have contacted a local tour guide there so that he will help us to arrange transport, accommodation, snorkelling package and makan. He picked us up at Mersing bus terminal then dropped us at Mersing Ferry Terminal:)

Before we taking the ferry:) |
Around 2 hours to reach Salang, I think? I couldn't remember. lol. I slept all the way until we reached.
Once we reached, the room was not ready due to high occupancy and peak season:(( SOOOOO, Lunch first. Don't expect too much for makan there, food sucks, hmmm....
After settling down in the room, we changed our bikini and out for first snorkelling:)
BTW, don't expect too much for room also, just a place to sleep.lol.

SHYYYYYYYY |
We were in a tour of 20++ people. As we had experience in snorkelling before, we didn't really listen to what the coach said and non stop selfie. haha ( we were so rude. lol.)

Look at the pic, the beach is just so nice... BUT, to me, I still prefer Perhentian/ Redang beaches. I am always proud of Malaysia Islands.

Before going to snorkel |
LET'S GO!!!!!
My friend actually bought an underwater camera. Unfortunately, when we were on our way back, underwater camera was spoilt.FML.
At night, there will be a BBQ session as well for dinner. Don't expect too much for it X 3. lol. After dinner, we just bought some alcoholic drinks with some friends we got to know there. Chit chatting, selfies, drinking and laughing. Nothing better than moments that you spent with your best friends:D
