The view from the dock on Pulau Gaya is gorgeous! Part of the marine national park, this island is primarily used for lunch for divers, snorkelers, and other park guests or for hiking/camping. The clear water is beautiful! You can even zipline between the two islands shown in this photo!

Great place to visit!

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler
