The Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park was gazette as Sabah’s second National Park in 1974. It comprises a group of 5 islands located between 3 km and 8 km off Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia.
The park is spread over 4929 hectares, two-thirds of which cover the sea and the 5 islands are Gaya, Sapi, Manukan, Mamutik and Suluq.
Snorkeling
Boat snorkeling is one of the easiest yet fun ways to explore the underwater world of this park. Accompanied by a divemaster or snorkeling guide, snorkel over the surface of the aquamarine water, gazing down upon sealife such as spotted turtles, colourful corals, and schools of tropical fish.
From here, cruise to your second destination to scope out more exotic animals, and when you have worked up an appetite, have lunch and thereafter enjoy free time to relax on the golden beach, bask in the warm sun, or snorkel again just off the shore of the island before heading back.
Suba Diving
Scuba diving is another way to explore the underwater world of this park.
There are 15 dive sites in this Marine Park to choose from based on local conditions to have enough biodiversity to interest divers.
Once you have entered the water, marvel at the beautiful colours of the coral gardens, lying in shallow waters and featuring a diverse array of sealife, including scorpion fish, blue spotted stingrays, cuttlefish, Mantis shrimp, and even sea turtles on occasion. From here cruise to your second destination to scope out more exotic animals, and when you have worked up an appetite, have lunch and thereafter enjoy free time to relax on the golden beach or dive again just off the shore of the island before heading back.
