The eastern part of Malaysia is less visited than that of the west and the beaches here are thus far less crowded than those of Penang and Langkawi. Tiomen Island is the largest island of the Seribuat Archipelago and the main attraction here, with fine beaches and a lush jungle-clad interior.
Snorkeling and diving are the main activities in the Seribuat Archipelago, with Tiomen Island offering the best of it. The other islands also offer great diving and are even more unspoiled than Tiomen Island.
