Go! A dream island trip to Gaya Island, Malacca Island.

Who can refuse an island trip? Malacca Island on Gaya Island, Malaysia, is definitely a treasure destination. I just came back from there, and it's so beautiful that I don't want to leave! 💖Travel Experience The crystal-clear water allows you to see small fish swimming through, and snorkeling is like entering a fairy tale world. Walking along the white sandy beach, the fine sand massages your feet, which is extremely comfortable. The tropical rainforest on the island is also worth exploring, with various peculiar plants and small animals, full of surprises. 📝Travel Guide Transportation: First arrive in Kota Kinabalu, and then take a boat from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal to Malacca Island. The boat trip takes about 20 minutes. Boat tickets can be purchased at the pier or online. Food: You must try the local seafood. The spicy shrimp at the restaurants near the pier has springy shrimp and is spicy and satisfying; there is also the special nasi lemak, which is very fragrant. Accommodation: There are resorts and homestays on the island. If you want to enjoy high-quality service, resorts are suitable; if you are looking for cost-effectiveness, homestays are a good choice. Remember to book in advance. Travel Route: Snorkel on the beach in the morning, go to the pier for lunch at noon, visit the tropical rainforest in the afternoon, and watch the beautiful sunset on the beach in the evening. Guys, hurry to Malacca Island and start a romantic island trip!
