More from our anniversary celebration at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Our last day in Kota Kinabalu was spent hopping the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Park (TARP).
TARP is made up of 5 islands,
namely Mamutik, Sulug, Manukan, Gaya & Sapi. These names relate to each of
the island’s history. The largest island, Gaya meant “big.” Manukan meant “fish,”
while Mamutik related to “shell collection.” Pulau Sapi meant “Cow Island” or
related to the sound of a mowing buffalo. Pulau Sulug is commemorative of the
ancestry of the Sulu peoples of Sabah. TARP was gazetted as Sabah’s second
national park.
We opted to go to Pulau Sapi and Pulau Mamutik.
But some of our french boat mates were headed to Pulau Gaya, so we had to drop
them off first. Here’s the dock at Pulau Gaya.
