Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

The marine park is under the administration of the Sabah Parks authority which has the mandate to oversee designated protected areas and ensure their maintenance and upkeep as reserves while catering to tourists wanting to enjoy the natural beauty that Sabah has to offer.

The largest amongst the island group is Pulau Gaya on which there is a small settlement of locals and illegal's (primarily from the Philippines) who have built wooden housing over the coastal edges while the rest is pristine jungle.
