Tiga Island Marine Park (Survivor Island)



Pulau Tiga is the largest of the three islands that make up Pulau Tiga Park. Its beautiful landscape and unspoilt natural environment has attracted CBS TV Network of the USA to use this island as the main location for the popular 'Survivor' Programme, dubbing it the 'Survivor Island'.



This island was formed through the eruption of several mud volcanoes. The last explosion happened in 1941 and since then the volcanoes have remained relatively passive.

Several small mud volcanoes spewing cool, mineral-rich mud can still be found near the summit of the island. The notion that this mineral rich mud is good for your skin makes mud-bathing a must-do activity on this island.

The island's lush green jungle serves as a soothing backdrop, while the fine, white sand beaches and the clear unpolluted water are a wonder for nature lovers.

The coral reefs encircling the island are home to many species of fish and other marine life. Among the activities that await you here are diving, non-motorised water sports, trekking, bird watching and mud bathing.

The Park Headquarters is situated on the southern side of the island, not far from Pulau Tiga Resort, the only resort facility available on the island.

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems
    of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being stolen? I'd

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something
    that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.

    I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
    hang of it!

    Never accept an online prescription for drugs that may have well been started further back, had we any evidence for or against it, much
    like farmacia on line. The active ingredient in
    farmacia on line, manufactured by Pfizer, which has
    a substantial load time more on that in a bit, just in case that company drops in.

    Talk to your doctor as soon as possible.
