Highlights
- Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park - No visit to Kota Kinabalu is complete without a trip to the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Home to 2 beautiful islands, the Marine Park is located just about 15 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu’s Jesselton Point jetty. I find it amazing that with just a short boat ride, visitors of Sabah can enjoy the beauty of the islands of Manukan, Mamutik and Sapi.

Splashing in the water at Kota Kinabalu - Great day out on the water whilst in Kota Kinabalu. The water was so warm and the water sports were great fun. All with a tasty lunch. Our guide Roy was brilliant and helpful.

OKAY KK! - Our tour guide Roy was the best - super funny and knowledgeable. There was more than enough food for everyone (the buffet did not run out). The weather was perfect and the beaches were very clean with exquisite clear blue waters. Do not be put off by some of the reviews - it’s the experience of a lifetime!

Good experience - If you want to swim in Kota Kinabalu, this is the right escursion especially for beginners. You may swim only in a restricted area where fishes and corals are very few, unfortunately. The organization is good. May be they can improve in reducing waiting time at jetty

Well organized, professional local guide - Our guide Tan picked us up on time and was very professional. He was part of "Amazing Borneo" tours. It was just us on the boat over to the first island, Sapi. It was super to get there early as nobody was there yet and the water and conditions were amazing. Tan watched our bags and provided us with information on other things to do on the island. (we did the zipline) We left at noon and went to Manukan island which was much bigger with resorts and bars/restaurants. We had a very delicious huge lunch. The snorkeling was not as good here, I didn't see any coral. Guide brought us back to the mainland and I was happy we didn't have to wait with the masses for a boat.

Fun day ISLAND HOPPING. - Saw more fish on 2nd island Manukan but had much less time to snorkle there. The weather was perfect and Hashim took great care of us.

Way overpriced - First, we waited for an hour at the jetty for our guide, then he tried to convince us to go back to KK.
Food was OK but the snorkeling at Manukan was average.
Totally overpriced, get the tour from the jetty, you will get it for much less.

BEAUTIFUL, BUT CHAOS - The islands were beautiful, but organised chaos to get there.
So busy on the ferry too, a lot of wasted time waiting to go from island to island.

It didn't help that the... - It didn't help that the weather was bad and we only got to see one of the two islands, the trip was a shambles, didnt find out pick up time until 8.30pm the night before, then they were half an hour late. The guide did not comunicate and gave no information what so ever about the island, he was on his phone most of the time. The food was ok, but overall very expensive for what we got.

Bad tour guide - The tour guide was unprofessional kept trying to flirt with my gf most of the trip, and seems like he kept doing the same with other women on the trip. Won't be using this tour service again.

Poor at best - Paid over $100 AUD for basically nothing. Had a boat ride to Sapi Island. The guide didn't explain anything, was an effort to get snorkelling equipment. We snorkelled for maybe 45mins before it poured down with rain. We then sat under a covered area for the rest of the 3hrs while it rained. When we went to get the buffet food it was basically all gone. We had 2 vegetarians in the group and all they gave them was plain rice and boiled vegetables. The boat ride back was petrifying in the rain/massive waves and we thought we would roll, one of the ladies fell into the aisle of the boat.
Basically the trip was cut short and we got a boat ride and a poor buffet. Have tried to get in contact with them, no response but a request for me to review.
Big disappointment, don't waste your money.
