Palau Mamutik, Sabah

After our mountain climb, we definitely needed some time to recover. So we headed over to Pulau Mamutik, the smallest of five islands comprising Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park, just a short boat ride from KK.

We passed the stilted water village on Pulau Gaya, home to many Filipino immigrants (some illegal).

Mamutik was only 300m of beach end to end, but the bath warm water was swarming with inquisitive tropical fish and coral gardens.

We had to abandon our private shady beach spot, after massive monitor lizards decided we were encroaching on their territory.




                                 

A huge thunderstorm blew in at incredible speed making for a fun boat ride back. By the time we got to the wharf we were saturated!
