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: Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island 1-day Tour [Exclusive Line + Seafood Buffet Lunch + Water Attractions & Tours]
Guest User2026-01-11
Had a great island hopping experience. The pickup was punctual and everything ran smoothly right on schedule, which made the whole day stress free. Our guide, Mr Ah Hong, was wonderful, patient and very considerate, especially with my mom who had some difficulty walking and getting onto the boats. He made sure she was safe and comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. The food was average, but overall the trip was enjoyable and well organised.★

Reviews: Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island Day Tour [Snorkeling + Seafood Buffet Lunch + Water Attractions & Tours]
Guest User2026-02-03
Ideal for families with children. The two islands are very close and offer snorkeling suitable for kids.
You can ask if the tour guide is Ah Hong; he's responsible, humorous, and friendly. He even helped us find a Chinese-speaking instructor on the spot. He said you can get everything arranged by just mentioning his name when you arrive on the island.
It's 279 per person, including pick-up and drop-off, lunch, and snorkeling gear. Very hassle-free.
Look for the gentleman in the photo.
