Reviews: MANUKAN Island and SAPI Island Snorkeling Day Tour from Kota Kinabalu
Guest User2025-10-11
The beaches are beautiful, but unfortunately we weren't allowed to swim without life jackets anywhere.
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 Weston Wetland River Cruise, Proboscis Monkey, Sunset & Fireflies 1 Day Shared Tour
Guest User2025-09-04
We saw two types of monkeys and a large crocodile. We also saw a lot of fireflies, which was fantastic. Above all, the sunset was amazing. It was the best I've ever seen. The boat tour was a really great experience! The car ride was 2.5 hours each way, and it was quite shaky and painful. That was the only negative point. Overall, I would recommend this trip to others.

We had a fun time with the great guide's progress and introduction. It seems like it was a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable time from pick-up to drop-off. ^^ We made good memories by taking good photos at the right spots. Thank you, guide Paul Alan.
