Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu Sapi & Mamutik Island Snorkeling Shared Day Tour Includes Lunch & Optional Water Activities
Guest User2025-07-18
The tour guide Tommy is a local Chinese, very enthusiastic, the same tour guide Winston is also warmly introduced, does not force self-funded projects, returns in advance, too tired to give up an island in the afternoon, sign confirmation
The sea was windy, the speedboat set off, the waves were bumpy, but the children were excited,
Snorkeling on the same island can see a lot of small fish. Unfortunately, it rained a few days ago and I couldn't go to Huantan Island and Mermaid Island. In fact, you can buy a ferry ticket to the island at Jesston Pier, and you don't need to follow the group.
Today includes lunch, but it is necessary to gather head, take a taxi to gather.★

Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2025-11-20
The itinerary was well-planned, and the round-trip transportation was convenient, saving me a lot of trouble! The guide was patient, and the snorkeling gear was clean. Even beginners got used to it in just 5 minutes. Underwater, you could clearly see clownfish and colorful corals. Overall, it deserves five stars!★

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.
