Pulau Tiga National Park (Three Islands)




The name Pulau Tiga comprises of three islands: Pulau Tiga, Pulau Kalampunian Besar, and Pulau Kalampunian Damit. Pulau Tiga is the largest island, which was formed by the eruption of mud volcanoes. It is covered by dense vegetation but volcanic activity in the form of bubbling mud and escaping methane gas can still be seen at the summit of the island. There are walking trails, beautiful sandy beaches, and good snorkeling around the island. Pulau Kalampunian Damit is famous for the sea snakes that come ashore to mate. Some of these snakes are never even seen on nearby Pulau Tiga. Locals call this island Pulau Ular (Snake Island). A 7km coral reef around the islands is home to various species of hard corals and the brightly colorful marine life.
