Join us for a multi activity day on Gaya Island, where you can go snorkeling, trekking all in one day trip from Kota Kinabalu.

Based within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park on Gaya Island where "Rainforest meets the Reef" located just 10 mins boat ride from the City of Kota Kinabalu (KK). Our paradise island location is perfect for friends, couples, groups and families to enjoy a day trip from Kota Kinabalu. 

Our Multi Activity Day Trip offers the flexibility to Snorkel some beautiful sites from our island base, go Trekking through the primary rainforest & mangroves and Sea Kayak to explore some secluded bays and see the island from a different perspective.

A member of our staff team will guide you throughout the Snorkleing & Sea Kayaking taking you to the most interesting places and pointing out fascinating marine & wildlife. Our guide will also bring along all the required safety equipment. Life ring & snorkel vests (if required) and marine hand held radio. This enables non swimmers to enjoy the activity. For Trekking it is very safe to wander through the Jungle Trails without a guide, we will give you a hand held radio for communication with the Dive & Adventure Centre and provide an area orientation.

Lots of fun actives but also plenty of time to relax and enjoy our tropical surroundings. We are the only operator at this location so we enjoy no crowds, pristine corals, walking trails through primary rain-forest that meets the reef and mangrove treks teaming with wildlife.

We provide full snorkeling equipment including snorkel vests for adults and children.

You can also take a look at our Facebook to see what we all get up to over here in Paradise !

Whilst taking some guests on their Guided Snorkeling Program at our nearby snorkel & scuba dive site "Turtle House" Kenny, one of our Snorkel Guides found a Fish Trap.

Disturbed by his find he reported back to the dive center and once all our guests had left for the day the crew led by Kenny, set about retrieving the trap and freeing the fish inside.

Fish traps are a destructive and illegal fishing method that wastefully catch many reef fish that are too small to be eaten or inedible.

The trap will also damage the reef in the process, in addition many fishermen loose the trap altogether leaving the menace permanently abandoned and continuing to trap fish.

The fish trap was in shallow enough water to retrieve whilst snorkeling so they paddled out on our Sea Kayaks and successfully safely destroyed the fish trap and set free the fish inside with no casualties.
