The largest outlying island around Kota Kinabalu, Gaya Island, is a resort, but unfortunately the price of the resort above is too expensive, generally need two or three thousand nights. If you are interested in Gaya Island, but don't plan to stay in a local resort, you can take a speedboat to the island, take a walk in the tropical rainforest hiking route on the island, and feel the style of Gaya Island.
