For outdoor enthusiasts, the island offers plenty of adventures. Enjoy a leisurely trek at Kampung Mukut, marvel at the iconic ‘Dragon Horns’ and the breathtaking Kampung Asah Waterfall, or discover the 300-year-old Mother Willow tree near Kampung Paya. Thrill-seekers can experience rock climbing on Tioman’s impressive sandstone boulders.
A stay here wouldn’t be complete without exploring the vibrant waters of Pulau Tioman—dive or snorkel among colourful coral reefs, with options for all skill levels. Take advantage of on-site diving programs, from leisure dives to PADI-certified courses, ensuring an unforgettable underwater adventure.
For guests preferring above-water activities, The Boathouse Pulau Tioman offers sunset cruises, fishing adventures with local experts, and boat excursions to Coral Island and Renggis Island. From March to October, you may also witness volunteers protecting turtle species, adding a unique touch to your visit.
4. Sustainable practices that give back
At The Boathouse Pulau Tioman, protecting and preserving nature is paramount. The resort collaborates with environmental groups and social enterprises on green projects to reduce environmental impact and inspire guests and the community in marine conservation efforts. Partnering with Reef Check Malaysia, The Boathouse supports marine conservation at Pulau Tioman.
With their help, the resort assessed coral conditions in Kampung Nipah and ensured reef protection during construction. The collaboration continues, focusing on coral rehabilitation with marine biologist Alvin Chelliah.
Additionally, The Boathouse has teamed up with Ayer Ayer Project to install ‘Whale You Refill’ drinking water fountains at the dive centre and dining hall, encouraging guests to use reusable bottles and reduce plastic waste. Soon, ‘rePlastic’ workshops will be introduced to educate staff and guests on ocean plastic issues.
