From Mersing to Tioman you
can go either by speed boat (max passenger 20) or speed ferry (max
passenger 150). The speed boat is reasonably good and gets you there in
less than 2 hours. The best part is that there is a speedboat that
leaves earlier than the alternative speed ferry.
The
speed ferry seat more people and take only marginally longer - perhaps
taking 1.5 to 2 hours to the island. These cost RM35/way. When you take
either kind of boat, you can ask them to drop you wherever you want on
Tioman. The ferry port is just outside the center of Mersing town.
From
the JB-Rompin road, take Jalan Abu Bakar straight past the town for
about 200 metres and the port will be to your left right after the
Mersing Tourist Information Center. It is right next to the R&R
Plaza which is the express bus station
