Explore Sapi and Manukan islands from Kota Kinabalu with boat rides, snorkeling gear, beach lunch, hotel transfers, and local guidance.

“This tour is over priced and not worth the price at all. At the pier you can literally purchase this tour for 35$ pp with the gear. They also do not disclose the fact will will be island hopping on a speedboat. The drivers are reckless and inconsiderate. If you get sea sick easily do not book this tour. The tour guide was nice but the over all tour was not.”

Review of Kota Kinabalu’s Sapi and Manukan island tour, with snorkeling, lunch, boat rides, costs, drawbacks, and practical booking advice.

“Tour guide was friendly and positive, spent over three hours on the first island (sapi) and an hour on the second (Manukan) which was nicer of the two. Felt like the long stay on sapi was mainly to pressure you into paying for the additional activities. Lunch wasn’t bad but quite greasy and not worth the price”

★★★★★★★★★★3.2 · 5 reviews · from $100

Review the Semporna island tour to Bohey Dulang, Mantabuan, and Sibuan, with hiking, snorkeling, beaches, costs, safety tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Stay away! Although the organizers knew that it was impossible to visit one of the islands due to the tide, we were only warned during the excursion. Inedible packed lunch. Untrained staff driving the vehicle. Two moorings where in one it hit the coral reef, in the other an adjacent boat. Improvised. During the return trip the bench where we were sitting collapsed. The price is far higher than local organizations”

“The tour is very good: the guide finds the boats indicates where to eat, and provides interesting explanations. The beaches are pretty. However, if you like snorkelling, you will be disappointed: no coral, almost no fish, but a suffocating tourist density. Very very restricted swimming area.Auto-translated”
