Manukan Island snorkeling

it was well arranged. we had pickup service and a guide to guide us through the day. the boat ride is a bit chaotic so it was good we had a guide to bring us through. snorkelling is great. managed to see a stingray and few varieties of fishes at manukan island. sapi was a little bit too crowded.

Great tour!!! We were picked up at our hotel and brought to the pier. Our boat driver was waiting for us there. We boarded our private boat and made a quick journey to a beautiful cove with crystal clear water and so much marine life to see!!! This was easy snorkeling great for families. life jackets and gear provided and calm water with places to stand if you wanted to or you could swim out further to adventure more if you wanted as well. The lunch was at a fish farm and we were delighted to be shown around the different tanks. We were able to hold a horseshoe crab and a little buffer fish and we even pet a friendly shark. My 14 and 11 year old were delighted by all of it but it would have been great with younger or older kiddos too. The boat took us by tree covered areas of flying foxes too! Highly recommend!

Take a boat to the island and get ready. I recommend wearing casual clothes and changing into your suit inside. It seems like you need to bring your own toiletries such as shampoo. I was able to see goats, cats, and monkeys on the island. A monkey stole my food, but it was cute. The facilities are relatively clean. The visibility was good when diving in the middle of the ocean by boat, but it was very narrow when departing from the island. During the last third dive, I lost the guide and was embarrassed, but they found me. It was a very natural and good experience. The instructors kindly set up all the equipment. Everyone is very kind. They even gave me free water. For the provided lunch menu, the burger seems delicious. The mango chicken tastes like sweet and sour pork with chili sauce, and the black pepper chicken tastes like salty black bean sauce. The visibility is a bit disappointing, but the overall experience is good, so it's excellent.

Easy booking, suitable for first timer and non swimmer friendly. We were picked up from the hotel on time, greeted by our friendly guides. They brought us to the sea near mamutik island and we snorkelled around there, away from the crowd. there were lots of clown and dory fishes to spot. After done snorkeling, we were given free time to lounge around the island before having lunch. We get to pick our choice of lunch and the foods are good. I enjoyed the time we spent and the duration is just nice as we can fit in other activities in the evening. Another point to take note, the guides constantly looking after us ensuring our safety and also help us took pictures with their GoPro. Overall, it's a very enjoying experience 😁

Highly recommend. The snorkeling tour is very professional and nice.Firstly, we took a boat to Mengalum Island and enjoyed the beach there. About 11:00AM, we went to two beautiful snorkeling spots in total. There were all kinds of fish in both places, and we also saw starfish and octopuses🐙.After lunch, just enjoyed chill time on the beach🏖️. I had a very wonderful and memorable experience in Mengalum Island. Happy new year and all the best wishes to the one who is reading the review😬

Baoqing was truly our guide of the day. Although I’m a local and have joined multiple tour agencies to Mantanani Island and the Kawa-Kawa River, Baoqing stood out as an exceptional tour guide who showed me how much difference a good guide can make to a trip. He provided clear and detailed information from the beginning until the end, including estimated travel times to each destination, which is especially important for foreign tourists. What impressed me most was his attentiveness during the snorkelling session, where he took the initiative to ask who could and could not swim—something none of the other tour agencies I’ve experienced ever considered. The tour assistants were friendly, patient, and very considerate despite doing this work repeatedly, and their professionalism truly enhanced the overall experience. For firefly-watching tours, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help upgrade and enhance the tourist experience, as I studied firefly tourism during my master’s degree.

The day I went, Mamutik was too crowded so tour guide Tommy suggested going to Sapi Island, and I felt great. Thank you Tommy for being so enthusiastic and kind. I dropped my phone in the sea, Tommy dived for a long time to find it for me, plus another reason to travel on a tour like this because there will be someone to take care of it when a problem occurs. Thanks Tommy again!

The pick-up and drop-off part is really great, the whole itinerary is arranged just right, and the snorkeling time is not too long. Huantan Island is really worth going up!
