Depart from our Marina for a 15 minute speedboat ride to Gaya Island within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.
Historically, Pulau Gaya was the site of the British North Borneo Company's harbour, razed by the rebel Mat Salleh in 1881.
Nowadays the 1,465 hectare island is mainly uninhabited except on the eastern shore which is home to a community of people living in stilt houses.
Learn of natural herbal remedies and medical plants that have been used for generations of native people.
Trek along jungle trails in search of flora and fauna, examine tropical hardwood trees and mangrove forests in the knowledge that this protected jungle has been in existence for thousands of years, unaffected by mans destructive farming and agricultural practices.
After lunch on one of the tropical islands, go "downbelow" and snorkel the warm waters of the South China Sea within the marine park.
Swim alongside colourful marine-life, butterfly fish, parrot fish, cardinals, snappers and if you're very fortunate the occasional turtle may swim by to see what's going on.
We also offer a number of environmental and conservation programs which can be included within this day.
