Reviews: Island hopping in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - 1-day tour to Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia and Manukan Island with optional snorkeling, parasailing and water activities
Guest User2026-10-15
Most of the day trips were booked through Ctrip, and we had a great time. Parasailing was fun, not as scary as I imagined. We also rented a camera to shoot videos. The service was good, there was no forced spending, and everything was flexible. I was very satisfied.

Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2026-08-19
The itinerary was well-planned, with a car picking us up from the hotel in the morning. We transferred to a speedboat at the pier to go to Mantanani Island. The guide created a lively atmosphere, and the snorkeling was fantastic – we saw many small fish; it was my first time there and it was a wonderful experience. In the afternoon, we saw proboscis monkeys and macaques in the mangrove forest. In the evening, we watched the most beautiful sunset and saw ironwork fireworks on the beach. We returned to the mangrove forest in the evening, where fireflies twinkled, and the sky was dotted with stars. Overall, it was great!

Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu Sapi & Manukan Island Snorkeling Shared Day Tour optional Watersport
Guest User2025-12-19
Our guide, Tommy, was so kind and great. Sapi Island and Manuka Island were both amazing. However, it was a bit disappointing that we had to pay separately for sea walking because there weren't many fish while snorkeling. I highly recommend trying parasailing for the extra cost. It makes for a wonderful memory.

Reviews: Snorkeling and Island Hopping at Manukan & Sapi Island with Lunch - Solo Traveler Option
Guest User2025-07-10
Roger was an excellent guide. His explanations and guidance regarding the various tours were outstanding. The packed lunch was also of excellent quality. I recommend taking plenty of photos at Manukan Island beforehand, as Sapi Island is quite small and has many fish, making it a better place for snorkeling. The snorkeling equipment was generally in good condition, but I recommend bringing your own if you have a size S head. Overall, I was very satisfied with the tour, so I highly recommend taking it!

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu sunset paddleboard, Tanjung Aru sunset paddleboard SUP, professional coach, stand-up paddleboard, Sabah city half-day tour
Guest User2026-08-06
Xiao Yong, the customer service representative, helped with the arrangements, and overall it was very good. The instructor led five people, and we communicated in basic English. We met at 4:30, and after everyone arrived, we received our equipment and got a brief explanation. We set off on the boat around 5:00. We were all beginners, and the boats were connected together. The instructor rowed from the front. Although it was supposed to be a stand-up oar, I didn't have the courage to stand up the whole time. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good, and we didn't see the fiery sunset. At the end, Instructor Miko (I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling) took a set of beautiful photos for us on the shore.
