Flying on the Cessna C208B Grand Caravan from Senai airport to Tioman Island
We reached the Senai International Airport before dawn, because need to group with others before our departure... The arrangement was perfe...

The arrangement was perfect by the Tunamaya staffs, the check-in process for taking the private chartered flight from Senai airport to Tioman airport was smooth. Once the baggage check, we walked through the private lane way to the plane.
It was my first time flying on this Cessna 208B Grand Caravan, the plane had change and refurbished into a luxury seats and facility. We can rotate the seat for 180 degrees which convenience for discussion among the passengers.
Mineral waters, tibits and snacks were ready for us in the plane. All of us happily wearing the orchid garland presented by the airport. The inaugural flight from Senai to Tioman, we ready to take off!
The weather of that day was good and the take-off was comfort.
This was my first time enjoying chatting with my friend and browse through the social media app in the plane...
Let me show you the breathtaking view along the way...
The background was the mystery Linggiu dam...it was also the where the Srivijaya Empire started more than thousand years ago...as the legend said.
Beautiful green lake in the middle of the jungle...
I wondered this might be some kind of plantations...(photos above)
About 30 minutes later (around 8.35am), we were approaching Mersing town...
The plane took around 15 minutes to cross the ocean, noticed from the GPS device in the cockpit...
After the plane flew through the clouds, the island appeared from the windows...the first scene was the 'legendary twin peaks' of Tioman Island. Yes, it is the landmark of Tioman.
Followed by the lush canopy of greenery and the blue water...
It took around 45 minutes from Senai to Tioman island.
Once we touched down in Tioman island, the Tunamaya's staff was at the airport to help us ferry our luggage to the Tekek jetty.
It was a pleasant flight and different experience compare with the commercial flight, we enjoyed very much!
The weather in Tioman island was hot and humid, as we walked to the jetty, our luggage already stand-by before us...
