Snorkeling & Island Hopping at Sapi & Manukan Island in Sabah

Very nice and cosy island hopping experience. The boat ride was smooth and windy, the weather was very good that day. Both Sapi and Manukan Island had very nice beach. The tour guide, Nanak, is very friendly and answered all our question, also helped everyone take care of their bags and things. The banana boat and snorkelling are must go. Managed to see quite a few species of fish, snorkelling is limited to the areas near the shore but can spot quite a lot of fish. The sun is very strong so must apply sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Time was also sufficient and ended quite early at 3pm.

I didn't request hotel pick-up, but I didn't get a call the day before, so I went straight to the pier the next day and was very flustered because I couldn't find the guide. Fortunately, I was able to join the team safely with the help of people around me, and our guide was so kind that the flustered feeling I had in the morning disappeared and I had a very enjoyable trip. He speaks a little Korean and everyone is very kind. I had a lot of fun riding the boat to the island as if I was riding an amusement ride, and snorkeling and sea walking were also new experiences~^^

my daughter and I really enjoyed our island hopping tour to Sapi and Manukan Islands. Our tour guide Nanak was very nice and knowledgeable about the two islands. He also watched our belongings for us which allowed us to snorkel and enjoy our time in the water worry free. Both islands were beautiful, but we enjoyed our time on Sapi Island the most. The water was great for snorkeling at Sapi Island. We also enjoyed our buffet lunch on the island and Nanak even came over to make sure we saw the humongous lizard that came by for a visit. Manukan Island was beautiful. But, the water wasn’t as clear in the snorkeling area so we didn’t see many fish. However, we did see a few black tip sharks in the water near the jetty as we were leaving. Overall, I enjoyed our and would recommend this tour to others.

The tour guide proactively contacted us via WhatsApp the day before, which was very thoughtful. On the day of the tour, they actively guided us. Although it was a group tour, with about 20 people, the guide proactively took care of everyone and helped watch over our luggage and bags. Although the tour was in English, it wasn't difficult, and general communication was easy. Snorkeling was awesome, but be careful of sunburn! Remember to bring a waterproof phone pouch.

great tour, nice getaway from the busy streets of KK city to serene islands. pick up was on time and our guide accompanied us everywhere and explained everything clearly. lunch was plentiful and good variety was offered.

Very enjoyable day out. the short boat ride to Sapi island meant we had lots of time on the beach to relax and snorkel. we didn’t need to snorkel too far out to see plenty of underwater activity. the fish are very friendly and come up very close. we chose to not include lunch (fussy children!) but there was a cafe for noodles and rice and other options too. the only downside was the beer was warm! another short boat ride to Manukan Island. this island was much busier and had a resort. sadly, there wasn’t so much going on under water here but we still had a great day. our guide was very attentive and made the day feel very relaxed.

We had so much fun enjoying the incredibly refreshing scenery. The banana boat and parasailing activities were the best! Thank you to our guide, Nanak, for his kind consideration and explanations. We'll definitely have to come back again. I think my family and loved ones would love it here. Highly recommend it!

The tour is amazing, our guide Nanak, driver, other guides, all staff are friendly. The water quality is well maintained and saw some marine creatures. I’m solo travelling so they pair me up with other solo travelers as well, so considerate that I can meet new friends. Recommend spending time here 😚

Awesome island experience, especially on Sapi. We got to Sapi early before 10/11am when the crowds started coming in and it started raining. Best island vibe compared to west coast Malaysia islands. Manukan was fine, it rained, meh

Although there were a lot of people, the tour guide smoothly took us to two islands. We were lucky and saw a lot of fish at Sapi Island. The weather changed at Manukan Island, the water wasn't clear, and we couldn't see many fish, but the island was beautiful, and they didn't push any extra paid activities. It's just that lunch took too long to wait for; other groups had already finished eating, and our buffet was only just starting to arrive.
