Tunku Abdul Rahman Park snorkeling

We were picked up at Jesselton Pier and taken to the diving center at Gaya Island Resort. I was planning to dive alone, but since there were basically 2 people, we paid for 2 people and dived with my instructor and buddy Rich. We went out on a boat and dived twice, and then returned to the resort and had lunch at the resort restaurant. We walked out of the resort for the third dive. There was a large sunken ship. The visibility was bad on the sunken ship side, so it was a bit scary. However, it was a good experience for my 3 dives in Kota Kinabalu^^

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.

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!

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 😁

It was 2/4/2025 which is 3rd day Hari Raya. We are enjoyed with the superb and excellent guides by Instructors. Tq Max, Jamie, Cikgu, Zul, Suhaimi and Ni Hau🤭Tq for your support towards me..an aunty who afraid of the water. 1st attempt was failed BUT 2nd diving..i managed to do it and take a family picture. Rezeki for us to see the group of dolphins. Tq again from us Fatin Uden Aunty Zila n Uncle Jam. Unforgetable memories for our family. Highly recommended!!❤️

Super satisfied. It feels great to snorkel freely without a life jacket. 👏 The shallow guide helped me take a lot of videos and took me down to see nemo. The island is super pristine and very beautiful. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the hiking mountain. If you go, you must be prepared! The shallow guide does not go up the mountain, and there is a special pick-up. Personally, I feel that it is also very good to take pictures there without climbing the mountain or diving. The scenery seen on the mountain is not much different from the feeling of seeing it when the speedboat comes. Personally, I feel that except for hiking, everything else is superb! I like my shallow guide so much that he can provide emotional value! Because I brought my mother with me, my mother can't swim, and I have to take care of my mother and help me take videos hahahaha. It's really hard. The underwater ecology is really good, there are live corals and various fish. I want to take a diving certificate next time. The shallow guide can speak Chinese, so you don't have to worry about communication problems.
