Marine Park
Great Wreck Exploration
off Labuan (please click)
Labuan Marine Park is located 2 kilometers off the southern part of
Labuan main island. Beautiful and wild, the park encompasses 10 square
kilometers of pristine water and three secluded islets, namely Pulau
Kuraman, Pulau Rusukan kecil and Pulau Rusukan Besar. It features
long stretches of sandy beaches, reef atoll, jungle tracks and quiet
tidal pools. Sea snakes, rare butterflies and a prolific bird life
add to its enchantment.
Snorkeling and scuba trails introduce you to an underwater world of
fascinating marine life. The many secluded beach spots offer unusual
privacy and natural ambience.
The park has been earmarked for upgrades under the 8th Malaysia Plan
(2001-2005). Facilities to be built in the park include jetties, chalets,
camping sites and barbecue pits. Other public amenities such as water
and electricity will also be installed.
Banned - Fishing
and anchoring
Local authority bans all form of fishing in waters around the Park.
It also bans anchoring. Visiting yachts will either have to rent a
mooring or tie to a dock in one of the marinas in the main island
of Labuan. The only exceptions are boats under three meters in length
using a stone anchor, and larger vessels having special advance authorization
in writing from the authority. But you may photograph, swim, observe
and study all form of marine fauna and flora. You are also allowed
to scuba dive, sail, kayak and snorkel freely.
