The transfer was great but the trip itself was poor. There was no guide - it was basically a taxi boat to two islands. Mamutik was very busy and half of the island is taken up by private resort that you can’t enter. I wouldn’t recommend this island. Sapi was much nicer, less busy, lovely water. Lunch provided was ok. We thought this would be a lovely boat trip woth island stop offs and it wasn’t.
We visited Sapi and Mamutik islands. Very professional and well organised. Sapi was a little crowded and not much opportunity to see reef fish as it was low tide. Mamutik was much more relaxed and a lot of different fish to see when snorkeling - great way to end the day.
I can’t say enough about this tour, it was the highlight of our trip! We were able to see so many islands and see lots of marine life. We were able to customize the experience a little, and ask for certain islands. There’s basically a huge boat taxi system between lots of different tour agencies, so there’s some freedom and flexibility to move around. The tour company staff were very accommodating and responded quickly if we texted to ask a question. We love Ms. Honey! Would absolutely do this tour again.
We booked a guided snorkelling tour with Borneo Dream as I had read great reviews. They were easy to deal with and communication was prompt. Our group was very small, just my family of 3 plus 1 other. Our guide, Bas, was really friendly and knowledgeable. Without him we would have missed so much! We saw turtles, sharks and a lionfish among others. He knew the types of all the fish we saw. We dived where it was quiet, with no other boats around which I thought was great. Visibility was pretty good on our tour and at times it felt like I was in a giant fish tank. We had a leisurely lunch on an island and all 3 dives were not rushed and plenty of time. It was truly an amazing experience for me.
Trip was amazing to see the islands myself and my wife really enjoyed the activities, we did parasailing, jet ski and sea walking. We'll organised and guided tour.
Well organized and accompanied. Only the BBQ lunch is a bit of a mass process. Beautiful beaches with sanitary facilities and good infrastructure. Lots of fish everywhere when snorkeling, not all of them friendly ;) Highlight 3 Nemo's
Sehr geehrter Herr / Frau Guten Tag Kristallblaues Wasser mit tropisch warmem Wasser und vielen Fischen in Korallen (nicht immer). Korallen sind ein beliebter Lebensraum für Fische bestimmter Arten, insbesondere in seichten Gewässern. Ich freue mich, dass Ihnen die Reise gefallen hat. Wir versuchen unser Bestes, um das beste Mittagessen anzubieten (jeder macht nach einem Schnorchelgang im Meer großen Appetit) Wir freuen uns, Sie bei Ihrer nächsten Reise nach Borneo wieder betreuen zu dürfen.
I bought a boat trip from the Jesselton Pier to Manukan Island and really enjoyed my morning/afternoon there. It had a luxurious chalet on the island too and many water activities. The weather was lovely and so was the beach!
It was a nice full day trip. Pretty Island, took lots of pictures. We enjoy the water activities so we enjoyed the parasailing, jet skis, and flying fish extra curricular activities...but bring local cash as they do not accept credit cards. Those activities were not cheap, but not as expensive as many other beach vacation destinations around the world. The lunch BBQ buffet was tasty, but not very remarkable.
