The water is clearer and there are many fish compared to other nearby islands. The water depth of the beach is so deep that it seems that a lot of young children come with them. A herd of monkeys lives on the island.

The beautiful Gaya Island is particularly famous in the local area and is also one of the best destinations for many people to choose. The scenery here is really good, and the ecological maintenance is quite good.

Beaches
Oliver Fred
Located right at the end of Tanjung Aru Beach is one the best ever spot to immerse yourself into the beautiful dawn of sunset, Shangrila's Tanjung Aru Sabah Sunset Bar, om a day clear non rainy day you will get to sight that jaw drapping sky changing colours durimg the sunset hour ard 5pm onwards, the other part of Tanjung Aru is a public beach so do expect super crowded on weekends, public holidays and even on school holidays

Mosques
Irsa Olie
The Floating Mosque of Sabah is truly breathtaking. Its location on the water makes it unique and adds to its beauty. The architecture is stunning, with intricate details and peaceful colors. Since we're Muslim, we're allowed to enter. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, making it a great place for reflection and prayer. The views from the mosque are amazing, overlooking the sea and the city. It's a wonderful spot to visit, whether you're a tourist or a local. I found it to be a serene and tranquil place, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Floating Mosque of Sabah for its beauty, serenity, and unique experience it offers.

楚楚芸香
First take the boat to the middle of the sea, then change the boat, back oxygen cylinders dive into the sea to feed fish bread, thousands of tropical fish come to grab food, very spectacular scene. We dive 4 meters deep. Unfortunately, we can't dive 10 meters underwater without a deep dive certificate.

In the village, you will be introduced to various traditional homes from Sabah’s 5 major ethnic communities—the Bajau, Lundayeh, Murut, Rungus and Dusun. —which are built by descendants of the tribes which they represent.For a more hands-on experience, check out the little huts in the village where daily routines of traditional Sabahan life come alive. Grab the chance to see blowpipe-making demonstration, fire-starting demonstration using bamboo, tattoo-making demonstration, and so on.
