Gaya Island Trekking
Embark on a scenic 15-minute ferry ride to Gaya Island, the largest of the five islands within Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. This stunning island is celebrated for its exceptional lowland forests, making it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts. Upon your arrival, set off on a trek that lasts approximately 1½ hours, where you will navigate through diverse coastal vegetation, enchanting mangrove swamps, and the rich lowland dipterocarp forest. This immersive experience in the primary forest will awaken your senses to the beauty of the natural world.
Following your trek, you will be picked up by boat and transferred to Sapi Island, the smallest of the five islands, which is famous for its vibrant snorkeling opportunities. Here, you can spend your day at leisure, choosing to swim in the crystal-clear waters, snorkel to discover the colorful marine life, or simply unwind and soak up the sun on the soft, white sandy beach. For those seeking a bit more adventure, short and simple trails are available for exploration at your own pace.
After enjoying a delightful lunch, continue to relish your free time on Sapi Island before returning to the mainland on the 3:00 PM boat.
