“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.

Review of Ara Dinawan Island snorkeling near Kota Kinabalu, covering beaches, reef conditions, lunch, activities, timing, and value.
“The island was quiet, felt secluded and rustic with ample lounge chairs. The food was delicious and staff amazing. The meeting times were confusing - the tickets said 7:30am. The booking info said 7am. The corresponding person who was very prompt and helpful said 9am! So we arrived at 8am and waited for an hour.
