Attraction: Pulau Tiga

The Pulau Tiga Park comprises three islands-Pulau Tiga, Pulau Kalampunian Besar and Pulau Kalamunian Damit situated in the Kimanis Bay, off the west coast of Sabah. Gazetted as a National Park in 1978, it covers approximately 15,257 hectares of sea and underwater habitat including the three islands. Lush forests serve as a soothing green backdrop for while sandy beaches and the clear unpolluted waters of the coral fringed seas.

Pulau Tiga The island consists of three low hills that were formed when volcanoes of mineral-rich mud were spewed out from underground. Since the last explosion in 1941, the volcanoes have remained passive, leaving the island relatively serence. Coral fragments from the encircling reef, make up the fine sand of its clean white beaches, while the lush green forest is reflected in the emerald depths of the crystal clear sea. The island is a sanctuary for the megapode "Megapodus Freycinet", a curious chicken-like creature that produces a cat-like meow sound.Trails winding through the undisturbed forest are worthwhile exploring if you wish to glean something of its flora and fauna. With a rest house and hostel facilities catering to a maximum of 20 persons at any one time, the island is ideal for overnight stays.
