Escape to Mengalum Island

Began from Jesselton Point Jetty and we boarded boat for about 1 hour ride to the island. Upon arrival, we couldnt help but snap countless photos of the place. The white sandy beach, ocean and sky were too stunning. After gearing up, we went for 2 diving spots. We swam alongside schools of fish, watched as graceful sea turtles glided by, spotted a playful octopus, etc. Back to the island, we had our sumptuous buffet lunch to fill our tummies. There are also free activities available such as snorkeling and kayaking. You may roam around the island on your own or you can also choose to ride their ATV (own expense). #trip #island #travel #diving

Mengalum Island

Pulau Tiga is quite far from the mainland, about 56 kilometers from Kota Kinabalu. It's a good choice for those who want to completely relax in a quiet environment. Because it's far from the mainland, the water is clearer and there are more coral colors. Snorkeling can see small fish and coral, and if you're lucky, you can see starfish. It's a truly beautiful place with few people. Many couples and newlyweds choose to vacation and honeymoon here. Huantan Island is a newly developed island in recent years. It used to be a private island, and the facilities on the island were built to a relatively high standard, making it the most high-end island in Kota Kinabalu. The reason why it is called Huantan Island is because from the satellite view, the whole island is roughly a irregular circle and the reason why there is a circle of beaches surrounding the island.
