Jungle Trekking Tioman Island – Experience the Incredible Rainforests of Johor Bahru

Tioman Island is widely considered as being one of the most beautiful landmasses in the world. Time Magazine would agree to this since they featured the tropical land on a list of the world’s most beautiful islands sometime in the 70s. Of recent times the island has become a very prominent travel destination with many a Tioman resort to be found such as the Berjaya Tioman Resort. The best things about this place however, have to be the wildlife and the natural wonder prevalent through the island’s surface.

If you’d like to embark on the best adventure the island has to offer then a trek through the Pulau Tioman Wildlife Reserve is the way to go. It was established in 1972 to protect the many rare species of flora and fauna that are greatly endemic to the island itself. Some of these incredible species of wildlife to be witnessed include the Black Giant Squirrel, the Mouse Deer and the spectacular Walking Catfish.

There’s an immense range of insects as well, which you’ll find incredibly interesting provided you’re not squeamish. The Giant Rhinoceros Beetle for example is a particularly interesting specimen. In order to gain the most out of your trekking experience it is recommended to take a guide. These professionals will be able to spot the most inconspicuous creatures at a distance, and ensure you witness all that you intend to see.

There are multiple paths you can make use of depending on what you’d like to experience. The Tekek to Juara path will take you into the heart of the forest, and on to a popular 4X4 off-road trail. For a truly unforgettable experience the Tekek to Benut Beach will enable you to experience breathtaking rainforest and conclude it with a round of snorkelling. The final choice is Tekek to Monkey Bay which is also a dynamic journey through forest and beach.

If you’re ever in Malaysia, a trip to the spectacular Tioman Island is almost mandatory.
