5 GERGEOUS ISLAND IN SABAH YOU MUST VISIT BEFORE DIE!!!!
1)BOHEY DULANG ISLAND
The mountainous Bohey Dulang island is formed from the remnants of an ancient volcano and is situated right beside the largest island in the park, Bodgaya.
The beauty of the island is further enhanced thanks to the crater surrounding the island that is now flooded with seawater and which has created a magnificent lagoon that is about 25m deep. The southern side of the lagoon is lined with a stretch of coral reef.
Not only does the island offer a rich collection of marine life, it is also home to the Giant Clams and Marine Invertebrate History which is a collaboration between Malaysia's Sabah Parks and the United Kingdom's Marine Conservation Society. It is located near Bohey Dulang's jetty and houses laboratories, exhibition halls, broodstock gardens and open sea cages.
Expect to see display tanks with rare giant clamps species like the T.Gigas and T.Derasa, abalones and even phytoplankton which serves as the giant clams' food. These giant clams are known as 'kidneys of the oceans' as they help to the preserve and filter the water by absorbing harmful organics that may harm marine life.

Sibuan Island is said to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park with sandy beaches and glorious coconut trees lining the sand cay.

Despite the fact that it is the smallest island in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Sibuan is still highly popular thanks to its marine population, including its perfect combination of shallow plateaus and steep slopes which serves as a regular stopover for open water divers.

Bodgaya, along with the Bohey Dulang and Tetagan island make up the semi-circular group of islands that form part of the rim of a volcanic crater. The island is about 8km long and 1.5km wide, making it the largest island out of the eights islands in the Tun Sakaran Marine Park.
If you're the kind of person who loves the idea of exploring nature and happen to be a sucker for water activities, then the Bodgaya Island would be your go-to place! With its pristine, greenish-blue coloured waters and unique flora and fauna, the island serves as a perfect one stop center to satisfy the nature junkie in you.
According to the Pulau Mabul tourism site, Bodgaya has three main peaks between 366 and 455 meters in height, peppered with trees and vegetation while the north end of the island has freshwater streams flowing along it. However, do note that there are no coral sand beaches in Bodgaya. What's really interesting is that the beaches on Bodgaya Island are formed from cobbles of volcanic rocks believed to be almost 2.58 million years old!
