Dinawan island with Snorkelling Daytrip - Private island in Kota Kinabalu

The driver contacted me on WhatsApp the day before, so the pick-up went smoothly. It's 10 to 15 minutes from the port, so if you don't get seasick easily, I don't think you need to take any medicine. When you arrive, they will explain the schedule and precautions. It's written in easy-to-understand English, so I think even people who aren't good at English can understand it. I was told that the staff would look after my luggage and that there was a surveillance camera, so I was fine leaving my luggage on the sofa. When snorkeling, they will tell you where to find fish. Afterwards, we had a BBQ, SUP and kayaking activities, and ended with high tea. You can also ride a water bike as an option, which I have never experienced, but it looked like it would be fun. When we got tired, we all rested in hammocks. Shampoo and body soap are provided in the shower area, bath towels can be rented for 10RM, paper towels are provided in the toilet, and there is a place to change clothes, so I was able to enjoy my stay with peace of mind. The BBQ was delicious and the hospitality of the staff was excellent. There aren't many foreign tourists, so I think it's a little-known spot!

The page shows a 24-hour reply after placing the order. In fact, I waited for several days without confirming the order. The order was not confirmed until the night before the departure. I contacted the customer service staff many times in the middle. I am really grateful that he has not received the confirmed order. I am very flustered and afraid that the arranged itinerary will be canceled temporarily. I hope this part can be improved! The tour guide of this group is very friendly, the island is very beautiful, and the degree of freedom is very high. In addition to snorkeling, there are other water activities. You can also buy parasailing lunch. dog is very cute

A private and beautiful island. I was satisfied with the delicious lunch and the guide was friendly. More than anything, I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery. I was satisfied with the hotel pick-up and transfer service, and the driver was very kind and comfortable. However, I wanted to use the paddleboard a lot, but there was only one paddleboard, and even that kept losing air, so I had to keep inflating it, and two members of our group took turns using it, and other members had to take turns using it discreetly. We didn't snorkel, but other members enjoyed snorkeling. There were plenty of kayaks, but we were disappointed because we mainly wanted to use the paddleboard. All other facilities were satisfactory. The restrooms were very clean and the showers were relatively 괜찮다.

Perfect Day trip! The length of the trip was good and enjoyable. The location was really beautlful and they offered excellent food! The staff was friendly. Great value for money!

With its clear water and fine sand, it's perfect for those who love a tranquil island experience. On the day we went, there were no other tourists on the island, so our two families, a total of five people, had the whole island to ourselves. The outdoor shower facilities and restrooms were in good working order, and we could freely refill our tea and coffee. For activities, we only used the canoes, which were available for our free use. There is only one snorkeling spot, and the current isn't too strong. Some areas are quite deep, and you have to explore to find the coral reefs. There are a decent variety of fish, but not the large schools you find at Sapi Island. There are a few anemones. Lunch was hot, plentiful, and the taste is a matter of personal preference. Overall, considering the short car and boat ride, Dinawa Island is a very ideal island getaway.

that was totally a underrated experience!!! absolutely amazing!!! we attended island hopping on 9/1 weather was not ideal. Rainy and the wave of the sea was not so calm during we boarding to the private island. The captain was super professionally avoid all the massive wave, and so thoughtful with all details. Lunch on the island was shocking good. Hot, great presentation of locals food. Please go for this instead of the major ( manukan island and etc… we went that one day before can compete!!!!) experience:great hospitality!!!

Our guides Kelvin, Nick and Edward took great care of us and put in a lot of effort to look for the proboscis monkeys. We had a great time at Bongawan thanks to them! I must also give a shout out to the boat crew who brought us close to the monkeys and fireflies!

Our group had great fun hanging out on the island.

Very good place, very clean and good scenery, go out to sea for snorkeling and diving to clear the coral reef ecology in the sea, the fish are very beautiful, you can eat all you can for lunch, it is a very leisurely day

We had great time at Dinawan island today, everything was very well organised from the pickup transfer to lunch and time on the island
