From our Beach House Dive Centre on Gaya Island based within the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park there are some great walking trials through tropical rain-forest.
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.
Together with our member of staff, explore the the virgin tropical rain-forest of the island.
You can see wild orchids, endemic plants and wildlife and visit the “Spirit Forest” where all kind of weird and wonderful creatures can be found.
Trek along rain-forest trails that meet tropical ocean.
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, some of which are rare and sought after.
Examine tropical hardwood trees and mangrove forests located in that area between low tide and high tide.
All this, safe in the knowledge that this protected jungle has been in existence for thousands of years, unaffected by mans destructive farming and agricultural practices.
