Location
Pulau Tiga Park was gazetted a national park in 1985. It is located about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south west from Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah. It can be reached directly by boat from Kota Kinabalu or one and a half hour by road from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Penyu, and then by boat from Kuala Penyu. Kuala Penyu is a small village located at the tip of the northern end of the flat Klias Peninsula, a scenic paddy planting area where sights of diligent buffaloes are common. From the jetty in Kuala Penyu, the rest of the journey will take half an hour to reach the island of Pulau Tiga. The motor boat route from Kuala Penyu is rather scenic, traversing the Kimanis Bay which 30 and more years ago would on any particular day play host to several log carriers. These ocean going vessels would take their valuable cargo of timber logs to Japan and Taiwan to meet their fate under the highly intimidating saws in the mills.The Park covers an area of 158 square kilometers (61 square miles). Most of the area consists of the sea with coral-filled reefs rich in reef fishes, crinoids, sea cumbers, sea urchins, shrimps, lobsters, sea turtles, sharks, barracudas, squids and other wonderful gifts of nature. Within the Park grounds are three islands namely Pulau Tiga, the main island, Pulau Kalampunian Damit (better known as Snake Island) about a kilometer north east of Pulau Tiga. Sandwiched in between is the slightly larger island of Pulau Kalampunian Besar which has been eroded by wave action some time ago and reduced to a large sand bar.
As the Park lies in the equatorial belt it receives a lot of rain throughout the greater part of the year except that the less wet months are from February to April during the inter-monsoon period between the South West Monsoon from April to October and the North East Monsoon from October to January. Total rainfall recorded some 250 centimeters (100 inches) per annum. The average daily mean temperature varies between 22° to 33° Celsius (70° to 90° Fahrenheit). Pulau Tiga is an inverted « L » shaped island measuring 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) in length and 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) wide. The highest point is in the middle of the island where it rises to 100 meters (330 feet) above sea level. It has an area of 20.7 square kilometers (8 square miles). The island is formed from a series of eruptions of several mud volcanoes over a long period of time. Several active ones can still be sighted at or near the summit of the island. Some of them continue to ooze out slowly from the ground hot volcanic mud whilst others spew squirts of mud every few minutes with unpredictable intervals.
