Things to do in Manukan Island

Although it is an island not far away, you can experience a completely different kind of sea. It was an unbelievably beautiful ocean. I was worried that Sapi and Manukan would be too similar, but perhaps because the weather changed, I was able to feel a different charm, which made it even better. I rode the banana boat; since it was right out on the deep sea, it was a little scary, but they accommodated us well so we had a fun time. Everyone we met was very kind. I would especially like to thank our guide, Nanak. I highly recommend this trip~

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!

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.

Our tour guide was incredibly helpful, enthusiastic, and friendly, and we're very grateful for him. He carefully assisted us by looking after our luggage while we enjoyed water activities and other underwater adventures, making our trip very pleasant. We especially recommend adding on the underwater walk (includes underwater photography), Flyfish, and Parasailing.... all of them were a lot of fun!

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!
