Pulau Tiga is one of a group of small uninhabited Malaysian islands in Kimanis Bay off the western coast of Sabah. Pulau Tiga is one of the three islands that make up Pulau Tiga National Park. The island's claim to fame is the first ever ‘secret' location for the hit reality series, ‘Survivor'. Hence, many refer to Pulau Tiga as Survivor Island. The island is 607 hectares in size and has a couple of active mud volcanos at the highest part of the island.
Visitors to Tiga island can spend the sunny days swimming or snorkeling in its surrounding clear waters or go kayaking. Divers can explore its underwater treasures and there are therapeutic natural volcanic mud pools to soak in.
