Pulau Tiga National Park is a 15-sq-km national park to the north of Kuala Penyu in Sabah. Despite its name (Pulau Tiga means "three islands" in Malay), there are now only two islands left in the national park. The biggest is also called Pulau Tiga. A kilometer to the northeast lies the islet of Pulau Kalampunian Damit. In between it and Pulau Tiga are the remains of the third island, Pulau Kalampunian Besar, which has been reduced to just a sandbar.
The three islands were the result of the eruption of mud volcanoes, as recently as 1897. Pulau Tiga was the venue of the US reality TV show, Survivor first season, and has since been marketed as "Survivor Island".
Getting there
The most convenient way is to contact the resort operators on the island (see contacts below) for packages. If you prefer to go on your own, you can get a boat there from Kuala Penyu. A return trip will cost you RM140.Pulau Tiga National Park Location Map

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
