PULAU TIGA RESORT
                          

                           

Pulau Tiga Park was established in 1978, although the area has been under protection as a forest reserve since 1933. It is located north ofKuala Penyu, opposite the swampy Klias Peninsula, in Sabah, east Malaysia on the island of Borneo.

The park covers 158 square kilometers of mostly ocean, containing the 3 islands of Pulau Tiga, Pulau Kalampunian Besar and Pulau Kalampunian Damit. The islands were formed in 1897 by the eruption of mud volcanos.

Pulau Tiga is now covered in dense vegetation; however volcanic activity continues in the form of bubbling mud and methane gas venting, although the last major outpouring of mud was in the early 1960s.

Pulau Kalampunian Besar is now little more than a sandbar, eroded away by wave action. Known for its sugar-white sands and clear waters, it is popular for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Pulau Kalampunian Damit, little more than a large rock, is also called Pulau Ular (Snake Island). It is famous as a mating location for highly poisonous sea snakes.Located opposite the swampy Kilas Peninsula are three small coral reef islands, PulauTiga, Pulau Kalampunian Besar and Pulau Kalampunian Damit. The park has been named after ‘Pulau Tiga’, the biggest of the three islands. Gazetted in 1978, the reserve covers 158 square kilometres and has a unique and particularly rich marine flora and fauna. Dubbed Survivor Islands from the reality television show that was filmed here, the unadulterated islands offer some good prospects for snorkelling and diving.(Visit site for more information)
