Pulau Tiga National Park
Sabah

Pulau Tiga or Tiga island - formed by three island (that's the name of Tiga derived from) : Pulau Tiga (the main island), Pulau Kalampunian Damit (or famously known as Snake Island) and Pulau Kalampunian Besar - where the most of the Survivor games takes place. It have 3 resorts with one of it operated by the Sabah Park (state government body). It gazetted as National Park in 1978. The islands were formed on September 21, 1897, when an earthquake on Mindanao caused a volcanic eruption near Borneo.

It has 4 main beaches namely Pagong-pagong, Tagi (the first two were the name of The Survivor groups), Ramis and Larai-larai. It still has remains of volcano as we can see in the Survivor - the mud volcano. Previously there were three such places in the island, however only one remain as the other two has already dried.
