DIVING
As the sound of the waves and birds fade, and the rhythm of consistent breathing puts you in a state of relaxation, be awed by the warm waters down under. Watch and feel schools of exotic fish envelope you as you swim entranced by their grace and beauty. Home to sea turtles, clown fish, marbled stingray, giant groupers, coral fish, bamboo sharks, titan Triggerfish, and barracudas, it is no wonder that the reefs of Borneo continually attracts divers from all continents. Unlike most resorts, no license is required for diving at Gayana. This is because specially trained PADI certified instructors would be there to guide you every step of the way. All new divers would be first taken to the swimming pool where they would undergo a comprehensive briefing and training for their safety. Gayana is the ultimate diving destination as its exclusivity characterizes every part of its service. With that, all guests can be ensured to almost instant availability of guides and instructors for their chosen activity. As most of the island is closed to the public, guests expect to have an uncluttered, un-crowded haven of leisure.

KAYAKING
Sheltered from disruptive swells, Gayana's sea top offers a gentle kayaking experience packed with loads of adventure. An expert will be glad to show you the way, or become a mock-member of the hit show "Survivor" as you explore the tropical bays around you. After a satisfying escapade at the sea, rest at shore while we set up a scrumptious picnic for you at your chosen bay. Paddle your way to the nearby mangroves and be transported to a timeless journey. As the sounds around you slowly mute, allow yourself to drift into a meandering path into the shaded mangroves. Hear the lap of waves soothe away, as Hornbills and jungle friends welcome you to their private lodging.

JUNGLE TREKKING

Situated just next to our poolside restaurant, trekkers would enjoy a splendid two hour trail into the island's hidden treasures.

As you pass through green wood paths, watch little butterflies flutter in a dance as you make your way to our look out point.

A brief trip over a suspended bridge takes you to Solace Spa, our own trademark beauty and body centre.

Treatment rooms and private spa pavilions are built directly into the landscape, creating an inviting terraced effect that entwines the spa into the island's jungle and massive boulders. The structure quietly mirrors the spa's own objectives: to elevate the humble act of a therapeutic treatment into an art form that gently carries you into a state of total bliss.

Solace Spa features a blend of the very finest of traditional Asian and western treatments, incorporating the intrinsic restorative powers of indigenous plants, oils and ingredients and a selection of natural formulations from the world-renowned Kerstin Florian line of products. Our trained team of therapists put these materials to good use, applying them in a variety of massages, scrubs and facials. So lay back, relax, and let the soothing soundtrack of the ocean breeze and the jungle's birds lull you into a state of tranquility. You are in good hands.
