According to the Wikipedia entry for South Pacific, it was unlikely that Tioman was featured given the logistics needed. |

IMDb however listed Tioman as one of the filming locations.

Similarly Rowan McKinnon mentioned Tioman Island in his book South Pacific.

Was it or wasn’t it?
The resemblances are certainly there. Let’s take some examples below.
This is a screen capture from the opening credits.
This is the stream running through Berjaya Resort
Does it look like the same place?
This is when Joe Cable and Sgt Billis is approaching Bali Hai
This is a shot of Paya village from kayak.
This is after Cole and Billis landed on Bali Hai. Hawaii or Tioman?
Two screen captures of Bloody Mary’s hut by the waterfall.
Does this look like the waterfall at Juara?
What do you think? Was Tioman in the film?
