| SELF DRIVE |
|
|
Driving from Johor Bahru or Singapore to Mersing
Drive to Kota Tinggi from Tebrau Highway and proceed your journey
to Mersing, a quiet fishing town. The town is approximately 138 km.
Well, you will never miss it as you can see the signboard to the town.
At Mersing, you need to take a ferry to Tioman Island. There are secured
parking spaces at a very cheap rate (around RM5/nights) so you don't
have to think about your vehicle safety!
Driving from Kuala Lumpur to Mersing (399 km)
One of the common road to the island is by PLUS highway to the South
and exit through Segamat. From Segamat, continue your journey to Kluang
and from there you can go to Mersing.
Driving to Mersing is a long ride and frequent travelers can shorten
it by following routes:
1. KL - Kuala Pilah ( winding road) - Bandar Muazzam Shah (will exit
between Endau & Mersing) - Mersing
2. KL - Kluang - NITAR - Mersing (Using this route, you'll avoid the
winding road before reaching Jamaluang)
Both Bandar Muazzam Shah & NITAR are the palm oil plantation estates,
thus the traffic is not heavy esp. during the festive seasons.
Advisable to use either routes only for day drive. Normally, I prefer
to use Kluang - NITAR route. By the way, there's a small island called
Pulau Cawan near Mersing. During low tide u can walk to this island
and according to legend there's one nenek kebayan (old witch) residing
there.
