If you want to walk to the neighbouring kampungs (villages), you may do so. You could walk to Kampung Tekek and the walk takes about half an hour, Juara (2- 3 ½ hours depending on your level of fitness) or Salang (70 minutes). It is advisable for you to go by boat to these kampungs/villages such as Genting, Paya, Mukut and Nipah, but if you insist on the walk, you will need a local guide to bring you there. If you enjoy nature, trekking to the waterfall is something that you might want to do while you are on Tioman Island.
