The Tropical Paradise of Tioman Island, Malaysia
This is Bali Hai in Peninsular Malaysia's South China Sea

Nov 1, 2008 Greg Cruey

If pictures of Tioman Island seem reminicient of French Polynesia, there's a reason for that: the island was used in the filming of the movie "South Pacific."

Malaysia has beaches and islands that attract a vibrant tourist trade. The climate is tropical and the country is well developed and tolerant of Western style and habits. Tioman is one of the best spots in the country. The Malaysian island of Tioman, in the South China Sea, is Bali Hai.

What Tioman Offers
Whatever a visitor could want, Tioman probably has it. In the 1970's, Time magazine named Tioman one of the world’s 10 most beautiful islands.

Tioman boasts some of the most fabulous beaches in the world. The waters are filled with coral and marine life of every hue and shade. Visitors can walk in near-virgin jungle, climb picturesque mountains, wade in glassy streams, and talk to friendly natives (though not many of them). And they can spend their sunsets walking on the white sand beaches.

Tioman's Geography
Tioman is not a big island -- 23 mile long and seven miles wide. It is, however, the biggest of the 64 islands in its chain, just off the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is the largest island on Peninsular Malaysia's eastern coast.

The island's land areas are populated with natural attractions, as well. Tioman has five distinct ecological zones. Animal life includes monkeys, mousedeer, flying foxes and lots of reptiles and amphibians -- including the python (and 25 other species of snakes), the large monitor lizard (and over 30 other lizard species), and both land and sea turtles.
