Hot Tips

* The ferry schedule is often vague as it depends on the number of passengers and on the tidal conditions.

* Book your ferry ticket in advance during Malaysian and Singaporean holidays and weekends as it can be full.
* Boats and ferry services become irregular and can even stop during the monsoon from November to February.
* There is just one ATM on the island in Tetek village, so bring cash! However most of the diving centres accept credit cards.
