Pulau Tiga Marine Park
Pulau Tiga is the largest of
the three islands that make
up
Pulau Tiga Park. Its
beautiful
landscape and unspoilt
natural
environment attracted CBS TV
Network of the USA to use it
as the main location for its
first ever episode of the
popular 'Survivor' Programme,
dubbing it the 'Survivor
Island'.
This island was formed
through
the eruption of several mud
volcanoes. The last explosion
happened in 1941 and since
then, the volcanoes have
remained relatively passive.
Several small mud volcanoes
spewing cool, mineral-rich
mud
can still be found near the
summit of the island. The
notion that this mineral-rich
mud is good for your skin
makes mud-bathing a must-do
activity.
For nature lovers, Pulau
Tiga's lush green jungle
serves as a soothing
backdrop,
while its fine, white-sand
beaches and the clear
unpolluted waters are a
wonder
to behold.
The coral reefs encircling
the
island are home to many
species of fish and other
marine life. Among the
activities that await you
here
are diving, non-motorised
water sports, trekking, bird-
watching and more.
