Kota Kinabalu: Unvergessliches 2-Insel-Paradies-Hopping

I expected better snorkeling…the photograph presents something very different. Food was good. Loved seeing the six foot monitor lizard. Hated the speed boat going over…young kid driving it was showing off and the roughness was bad for those of us with older bodies. Guide did his job.

We did the 2 Islands Hopping Tour in late June and had a fantastic time. The guide communicated with us well, giving us a time and place to meet for pick up. We were picked up from our hotel doorstep right on time, which made it all very easy for us! We spent all morning at Sapi Island and were given a buffet lunch - it was so tasty, lots of seafood and Malaysian curries. Snorkels we’re provided and we saw some beautiful fish, starfish and coral. However, the area we were allowed to snorkel in was very limited. Then we travelled to Manukan Island, just a short trip from Sapi. We were not provided with snorkels here, but we’re able to explore the beach and swim. It was very picturesque. Overall, the trip lasted 7 hours and we were dropped back to our hotel doorstep. We highly recommend this tour if you are visiting KK.

I personally feel Manukan is a busy and crowded island, too many people. If you wish to be more quieter, you should directly go Mamutik and Sapi is the best. Lesser people and less crowded. Beach are all the same, the more the people, it’s more dirtier.

Nous avons patienté 2h avant de pouvoir atteindre l'île qui n'avait qu'une simple plage sans aucun poisson, et dont la principale activité des touristes était de se prendre en photo pendant des heures au bord de l'eau. Il ne s'agit pas du tout d'une sortie snorkeling, les photos sont fausses sur le site. Par ailleurs, suite au retard initial nous avons passé peu de temps sur les îles. C'est très cher pour un simple accès en bateau à des iles sans aucun intérêt. A éviter absolument.
