One Ocean Nature Conservation Centre

You might be asking...

It's Simple...

Because places like this are disappearing in many parts of the world today — and you deserve to see one that’s still alive. 🫵

Usukan Island isn’t just beautiful — it’s alive.

We have 54 species of birds here, including sea eagles, broadbills, and Exclusive migratory birds that travel thousands of kilometers just to land in our trees. 🐦

You might see three different species of monkeys swinging through the branches — and if you're lucky, even spot the iconic proboscis monkey in its natural home. No cages. No crowds. Just you and the wild. 🐒

Beneath the waves, it’s just as magical. Our coral reef is thriving, and filled with colorful marine life that most people only ever see in documentaries — all protected and carefully monitored by our team. 🦈

But what makes Usukan truly special… is how untouched it feels.
The air is clean. The forest is pure. The silence? Real.

"Why Usukan Island?"

We’ve worked hard to keep it this way.

And if you’re someone who cares about nature — or just wants to experience something real — we’d love to show it to you.

”We spent the last few days planting corals, improving the surroundings of their island, getting to know people from places i never knew exist. AND THE MONKEYS, HELLL NAWHHH, THEY FIRING US EVERYDAY. But regardless, I love every single bit of my time here

P.S Best sunsets ever”

”I learned that nature doesn't connect the greenery around us, but the people as well. As much as i hate the sandflies, mosquitoes, and freaky bugs (not a nature person btw) I learned to accept them because everything in nature serves for eachother. We need eachother to live, love, and laugh”

“Today, we are constantly bombarded with the hopelessness of climate change and the environmental disasters around the planet. While acknowledging these issues is important, I believe it has created a feeling of despair for a lot of people, to the point where it feels like nothing can be done to help. My experience at One Ocean Empire showed me that this could not be further from the truth. Spending time with Monica and Harvey was both refreshing and motivating. To finally be working with people who are actually DOING something about the issues we see has filled me with such a drive and passion for conservation. Monica has built a center with a vision of restoring coral reefs in Malaysia and beyond. I was lucky enough to be a part of that for a month and gained so much knowledge from Monica and Harvey. They become your family, and show you what it means to work hard for the nature that we love so much.”

”Visiting Usukan Island was like stepping into a postcard-perfect paradise. The pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and clear blue waters exceeded all my expectations. Snorkeling alongside colorful fish left me in awe of the island's natural beauty and rich history. But what truly made my experience unforgettable was the sense of tranquility and connection to nature that enveloped me throughout my stay. Usukan Island isn't just a destination; it's a soul-soothing escape that I'll cherish forever.”

”I miss the sunda scop owl birds...

The sunsents have to be the best here. Like lowkey, every night, the sunsets here are better than in New York”

”We spent a week and a half with Monica, her crew and a bunch of cheeky monkeys on her beautiful beach on the island. It's a wonderful place to strip everything back to the bare basics, get involved with an eco project or two and immerse yourself in island community life. White sand, sparkling waters and coral reef in front, jungle out back, what more could a nature-lover want?! Thank you for inviting us to stay with you Monica!”

- Zac Newham

”It’s the most amazing place, where it’s possible to experience the life really in contact with nature and with a lot of different beautiful people. The project with the coral is really important and will help our planet, nature comes first!”
