Coach Details
The coach will depart from YIH at 6.00am sharp to ensure we catch the ferry at 11.30am. We will be

before the trip, we recommend the following software/smartphone applications:

• Stellarium 0.18.2 for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS

• Google Sky Map at https://www.google.com/sky/ or on Android


• Night Sky on iOS (Note: there will be many advertisements.)

Other Things to Take Note


During the trip, please stay contactable and accountable for all your belongings to ensure that we all have
a safe and stress-free trip in Tioman Island. J
