Itinerary
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 (only 2 Islands will be visited & will be selected by the boat captain based on the current weather & wave condition).
Pick up from the city hotel and transfer to jetty for about 15 - 20 minutes boat ride to Manukan Island. This island is a snorkeling, diving and even jungle walking sanctuary. Enjoy the island hopping tour to Manukan Island
and at 1130hrs, onboard and transfer to Mamutik
or Sapi Island for a sumptuous BBQ lunch. Late afternoon, return to the mainland and transfer back to hotel in Kota Kinabalu. Please note that this tour will do only 2 Islands Hopping, after Manukan Island, we will go to either Mamutik or Sapi Island, decided by the boat captain based on the weather & wave condition.

The 2 island hopping tour is managed nicely end to end. Shuttles take you from the ferry terminal entrance to the tickeing window. The staff members are warm. The speedboats take you to the 2 islands (a short ride and a relaxation window of 2 hours on each island) and bring you back to the ferry terminal.
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.
