Reviews: Authentic Mengalum Island 1-day tour - optional scuba diving + optional mangrove/ multiple bases available
Guest User2025-12-29
Overall, it was alright. The price included round-trip transportation on top of the official RIA ferry ticket, making it about 80 yuan more expensive than the official RIA price. Essentially, 80 yuan was spent on online booking and transportation services. It depends on individual needs.
The scenery around Mantanani Island is quite nice; you can see many small fish and corals while snorkeling. However, the water near the beach isn't very clear, probably because the sand is too fine and gets stirred up. Personally, I felt it wasn't much different from the other nearby islands.★

Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.★

Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu Sapi & Manukan Island Snorkeling Shared Day Tour optional Watersport
Guest User2025-12-19
Our guide, Tommy, was very friendly and helpful. Sapi Island and Manuka Island are both beautiful. However, the lack of fish during snorkeling was disappointing, so we had to pay separately for sea walking. Be sure to try parasailing for an additional fee. It'll be a wonderful memory.★

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-01-12
I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.★

Highly recommend the Mermaid Island day trip! It features a fully Chinese-speaking guide, complete snorkeling equipment, a buffet lunch with some fresh seafood like shrimp and crab, and free beach activities including a bubble machine. Excellent value for money!★
