Trek to the Waterfalls & Visit the local fishing village of Kampung Mukut
Take a nice trek to the splendid Asah Waterfalls. A 2 hour walk along the coastline through an idyllic fishing village of Kampung Mukut will let you meet the local villagers where they may just invite you to taste some local fruits or wild honey from the bees. Mukut will give you a look into local life in the Tioman villages. If tradisional Malay life is what you are after, Mukut is very much worth a visit.
