Kampung Tekek & Marine Park Centre
Kampung Tekek
Tioman's largest village and transport hub, home to the airstrip, ferry terminal, duty-free shops and the Marine Park Centre.
Tekek lies on the middle of Tioman's west coast. It is the island's administrative centre and largest village, with a small airstrip, a ferry terminal, ATMs, duty-free shops, a clinic and many restaurants. Tioman is a duty-free island, where the shops sell inexpensive alcohol, chocolate and cigarettes. Not far north of the jetty is the Marine Park Centre, which has a small exhibit on coral and marine ecology. The sea in front is shallow reef where you can snorkel, and Renggis Island lies directly opposite. A coastal path runs north from Tekek to ABC. To the east, a jungle trail crosses the rainforest to Juara Bay, about 7 km away. Visitors must pay the marine park conservation fee at the jetty; check the latest official notice. Cash is important on the island, and ATMs are mainly concentrated here.
