3-night Gaya Island holiday extension from only £995pp
Situated off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Pulau Gaya is the largest of five islands that make up the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. The island became a forest reserve in 1923 and Sabah’s second National Park in 1974. Today it is a tropical paradise and the ideal place for a relaxing escape.
This holiday extension is available to add to the end of our Very Best of Borneo tour.
We bid a fond farewell to friends we have made over the last few weeks on our Borneo adventure and head to the coast for our short speedboat transfer to beautiful Palau Gaya. Our chosen hotel is the Gaya Island Resort, nestled in the tranquil bay of Malohom and surrounded by lush rainforest, mangroves and pristine coral reefs. Our accommodation is in elegantly-designed hillside villas, offering breathtaking views of the mangrove forests, tropical rainforest or South China Sea. Settle in and enjoy the tranquillity of your environment.
Breakfast
A Freedom Day to choose how you spend your day. Gaya Island Resort is dedicated to marine conservation through its on-site Marine Centre, which focusses on turtle rescue, coral reef restoration and educational programmes. Explore the resort’s protected coral reefs, relax on the pristine beaches, or embark on nature treks through the rainforest.
Breakfast
Another day in paradise. Our resort offers a number of optional activities and excursions for those who wish to explore further afield, or learn more about the hotel’s conservation projects. Or maybe it’s just a day of relaxation? Enjoy a dip in the ocean-view swimming pool, treat yourself to a treatment at the hotel’s spa, or venture to the pristine sandy beaches. Enjoy your day.
Breakfast
Our time on Pulau Gaya has come to an end and today we make the short journey back to the mainland and Kota Kinabalu Airport to begin our journey home to the UK.
Breakfast
To help you make your holiday to Borneo even more memorable, we want to give you the opportunity to extend your Very Best of Borneo tour tour with a fabulous 3-night Gaya Island extension.
