Islands and Dive Resorts
Frolic in Malaysia's sun, sea and sand!
Tropical islands in Malaysia are an elixir for the body, mind and soul. Malaysia is home to many tranquil tropical islands where fine white sand, crystal-clear azure waters, balmy breezes and spectacular sunsets beckon. Visitors will discover fascinating species such as hammerhead sharks, bumphead parrotfish, leatherback and hawksbill turtles, white-bellied sea eagles, batfish, crown-of-thorns fish and more. Activities include snorkelling, scuba diving, jungle trekking, eagle feeding, parasailing, jet skiing, turtle watching and more.
Some of Malaysia's best aquatic adventures are located off the coast of Sabah in East Malaysia or Borneo. Sabah's shoreline is strategically surrounded by the South China, Sulu and Celebes Seas and is located in the heart of the Coral Triangle. The Coral Triangle is home to the world's most abundant variety of corals and marine life in the world. This means an underwater world filled with a stunning array marine flora and fauna. Needless to say, Malaysia boasts some of the best dive sights in the world! This includes the internationally renowned Pulau Sipadan National Park.
Also boasting a rich marine eco-system are the islands of Perhentian, Redang, Tenggol, Kapas, Tioman and Aur, located in the South China Sea just off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
