Kota Kinabalu

🇲🇾 K O T A K I N A B A L U 💥💥💥If you travel to Malaysia, you should not miss K O T A K I N A B A L U 🛫It takes about 3 hours to fly from Kuala Lumpur or Penang. Because there are no direct flights here. 🌤The weather in Kota Kinabalu is quite nice. Sunny but not stuffy but still cool and comfortable. 🚘 Traffic here is clear and there are no traffic jams like Kuala Lumpur, we travel 100% by grap. Grap here is very developed so it is very convenient 🌮The food is delicious but the wait is very long 🌊 I went to 5 islands but actually they only go to 3 or 4 islands here. We went to the port Jesselton Point to buy a combo ticket for the whole day. The port opens at 7:30 and the last trip from the island is at 5pm 🌈Manukan island, I think this island is the largest and most beautiful and we chose to eat buffet on this island 🌈Mamutik island, this island is great for paragliding but much cheaper than in Vietnam 🌈Sapi and Gaya island. These two islands are close to each other 🌈Sulug island, this island cannot be played, just go through and take pictures because it is still very wild and usually no one comes Maldives is probably just like this, right guys ⚡️⚡️⚡️Go now before it's too late ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #chekinMalaysia #kotakinabalu #sabah #manukanisland #mamutikisland #sapiisland #gayaisland #sulugisland #malaysia

[Parasailing in Kota Kinabalu🛥] I really wanted to do parasailing, so I did it at Kota Kinabalu Mamutik Island Tour😃 Since it was a same-day reservation, I went to Jesselton Point early and took the 9:30 boat. Since the number of reservations and the boat schedule are different for each window, it is important to choose the right window!! Before I went, I had already thought about which island I would go to, whether I would do the Nanamun tour, what activities I would do, whether I would eat, whether I would rent life jackets or snorkeling equipment, etc., and I went there to easily make a reservation after thinking about the expected price. After haggling over the price I wanted at Jesselton Point, I was able to get on the boat at the pier on time and arrive at Mamutik Island in about 15 minutes, cutting through the sea. And then parasailing!!!!!! The safety officer on the boat kept saying "Pongdang Pongdang Mani Mani" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even after riding it, it was so fun that I booked another ride 😍 About 30,000 won was gone in 10-15 minutes, but I think it was worth it. Parasailing is so great 💙 After parasailing, I ate the cup ramen I brought in advance in the shade of the beach, played in the water, and played. It was heaven! I recommend Mamutik as a close island to go from Kota Kinabalu. The water was clear and there weren't many people because we went early, so it was nice😊 ​ #kota kinabalu travel #southeast asia travel #malaysia #kota kinabalu #southeast asia #vacation spot #mamutik island #mamutik #island tour #kota kinabalu island tour #parasailing #kotakinabalu #malaysia #mamutik #mamutikisland #life travel destination #with nature #new year travel #travel guidebook #next time here #2019 travel #life shot spot #life travel destination #year end travel #vacation travel #winter travel

Manukan Island

Sun-kissed Paradise at Manukan Island 🏖️🌊 Escape to the jewel-toned waters and powdery sands of Manukan Island, Kota Kinabalu’s dreamy getaway for ocean lovers and sun seekers! With its private beach vibes, stunning scenery, and comfy facilities, this island promises a blissful retreat packed with personal space and Insta-ready views. Start your adventure early to enjoy uninterrupted serenity—catch the first boat over and claim a cozy lounger before the main crowds arrive. Snorkeling is the absolute must-do here: the underwater world is dazzling with vibrant coral gardens and swirls of tropical fish, just steps from the shore! Don’t forget to pack a waterproof camera for those vivid aquatic shots or a GoPro for selfie action amongst the colorful marine life. For show-stopping photos, hit the sunrise or sunset hours—the views across the open sea are mesmerizing then, casting golden hues on gentle waves. The food scene is simple but satisfying—fresh grilled seafood on the beach is a treat after your swim. If you crave extra privacy, wander a bit farther from the main area; there are tucked-away stretches where you’ll practically have the sand to yourself. A few pro tips: Bring reef-safe sunscreen, as the sun here is strong and the marine life deserves protecting. Water shoes are bonus for rocky patches near the shore. Lifeguards are present during the day, but do double-check tide times if venturing out deeper. With friendly staff and well-maintained amenities, comfort comes easy—but bring some cash for small snacks and rentals. #KotaKinabalu #ManukanIsland #BeachEscape #Snorkeling #TravelAsia
