Berjaya Air is a subsidiary of the Berjaya Resorts group, and transports guests to the Berjaya Resort on Tioman.
The service is also available for those, who are travelling to Tioman, but not staying at the resort.
Bejaya Air has several Dash 7 aircrafts, which are 48-seaters. They look small, but they are safe, with experienced pilots and friendly cabin crew. By the way, don't be squeamish if at first you don't spot the landing strip. There IS one! We are told the pilots practised landing on postage stamps prior to taking this gig.

By Land/Sea
If you are not flying to Tioman, you have to get to Mersing, a small coastal town in the state of Johor, and from there take a boat to Tekek village, Tioman.
You can get to Mersing from most points of the compass by bus. From KL, take a bus from Puduraya bus station; from Johor Bahru - Larkin Bus Terminal; and if you are on the east coast, you can get a bus from most of the main towns (Kuantan, Terenggannu, Kota Baru) to Mersing.
On the KL-Mersing route, buses are operated by Transnasional. From KL (tel: 03 20311430) they leave Puduraya bus station three times per day, at 11.00 am, 10.30 pm and 11.00 pm. Travel time is approx. 6 hours (!) and the cost is RM 19.50 single.
From Mersing (tel: 07 7993155) there are four services, at 11.30 am, 12.30 pm, 6.30 pm and 10.00 pm. Travel time and fare are the same as the KL-Mersing journey.
Once you get to Mersing you will have three options to get to Tioman, details of which are given below:
| Mersing - Tioman: boat options |
| BOAT | TIME (hrs) | OPERATOR | CONTACT | RTN FARE |

Please note:
- Ferries do not depart on a regular basis, but are dependent on tide levels. Sometimes you wil be transferred by a smaller boat to the waiting ferry, just outside the harbour.
- Departure times for other boats also vary, and even though you might be given a certain departure time it is common for the boats to wait in the harbour for 30 minutes or more to get as many passengers as possible. Be patient - you are on holiday! Travel times are approximate, and depend on sea conditions.
- Before leaving Mersing you will be asked to pay the RM 5 Marine Park Conservation fee.
