Fantastic 5.0
Five-star experience! Five-star trip! A perfect journey! Our tour guide, Sue, contacted us via WhatsApp the night before and was incredibly patient in answering all our questions. She also helped us take photos throughout the trip without any hesitation. Some of our group members had very high expectations for photography, and Sue was surprisingly patient in helping them get their shots. It's worth noting that our group was a combination of several smaller groups, but all the guides knew each other, so they were great at creating a lively atmosphere. One guide constantly played music through a loudspeaker, which really boosted the mood, and they even matched the theme – for example, playing Jay Chou's "Rice Field" when we were watching fireflies! Truly professional! Be aware that the local mosquitoes are very aggressive and aren't deterred by mosquito repellent, so that's something to keep in mind. The sunset there is stunning! We had plenty of time for free activities and taking photos. My first snorkeling experience was also amazing. The only downside was that some people in our group might have been afraid of water, so we had to accommodate them and couldn't visit more spots. We ended up staying at one spot for about an hour. You can rent a locker on the island for HKD $60, but you honestly don't need to; no one is going to steal your belongings on a deserted island... Watching the fireflies is an absolutely unforgettable experience! Photos can't capture the awe-inspiring sight; you'll understand once you go! P.S. The meeting time that day was 7 AM! So it was a very early start, but totally worth it.

It was such a wonderful experience! Our guide, Sui, was incredibly kind and helpful, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire day. We truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

me and my husband booked onto this trip a bit last minute, just the day before. we had confirmation texts straight away, pick up times and reg details of the car that would be picking us up in the morning. it arrived a few mins early and we were driven to the nearby jetty where two guides were waiting for just two of us. we were issued life jackets and snorkels and after a 20 minute wait, we boarded our speed boat over to the first island, Manukan. it is absolutely stunning, white sand fringed by huge forest trees giving lots of shade, clear blue sea with an abundance of fish swimming around our feet. unfortunately there was also a lot of rubbish in the sea, plastic bottles and packaging everywhere, such a shame that people treat our beautiful planet like this, it’s a national park and we could see people collecting rubbish off the sand but not possible in the sea. we stayed for 3 hours and were bought lunch before going on to Sapi. Both beautiful islands and we had a lovely day.

It was nice that it wasn't crowded. There were many cheap options, but the reviews weren't good, so I carefully read the reviews and chose this one, and it was definitely a good choice. Our guide diligently found all the best spots for us, and I'm so grateful. We saw lobsters, Nemo, and more.

I am so fortunate to have met such a kind and thoughtful tour guide. He cared deeply about the children and was always by their side to look after them and ensure their safety. His loving and responsible attitude truly touched our hearts. With him, we were able to enjoy this trip with complete peace of mind, comfort, and joy, without any worries. We deeply appreciate all his care, attention, and sincerity throughout this journey. Thank you for making our trip so wonderful and meaningful! ❤️ If you're travelling with your family and children, I highly recommend him! His name is AIM! He is truly caring, attentive, and responsible, especially when it comes to looking after the kids. ❤️ And also one more guy who helped us to take a lot of photos 👍👍 I hope to go diving again in the future and have the chance to find him as our guide once more! 🤿💙

Great 4.0
We were the only guests on our day trip. It was wonderfully peaceful and relaxing. Enjoyed the snorkeling within the shore and at another location further out from the island. Lunch & hi-tea were freshly prepared. Safety precautions were highlighted and there was always someone on the watchout when we were in the sea. Good location for family getaway and day trip to enjoy the beach, snorkeling and kayaking.

Manukan Island wasn't bad, but I highly recommend Mamutik Island. I took two tours and visited Gaya, Sapi, Mamutik, and Manukan Islands, and Mamutik Island was the best of the four. It wasn't just because the weather was great that day; the coral reefs on that island were so well-formed that I saw more fish there than on all three other islands combined. I wish the water had been a bit clearer on the day I went, but it was still truly beautiful and wonderful. The guide was also very kind and excellent. I highly recommend it!

Good quality! Introductory scuba diving is definitely worth a try! The equipment is basic, but has everything you need. Since I have 900 degrees of nearsightedness, the instructor later found a prescription mask for me. There were three other people from English-speaking countries that day, and although I was the only Chinese speaker in the group, they assigned a Chinese-speaking instructor just for me. It was a pretty great experience!
