Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park spans approximately 12,185 acres across five islands: Gaya, Manukan, Mamutik, Sapi, and Sulug. Located close to the city of Kota Kinabalu, this park is a popular destination for both local and international tourists. Its turquoise waters host a diverse ecosystem comprising colorful coral reefs that are home to countless aquatic species and provide excellent opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. Beyond marine life, the islands boast lush tropical forests teeming with wildlife, including long-tailed macaques and hornbills. Established in 1974, the park was named after Malaysia's first Prime Minister. A visit offers not only recreational activities like swimming and beach picnics but also guided nature trails through pristine forests, making it a perfect retreat for adventure and relaxation.
