Reviews: Authentic Mengalum Island 1-day tour - optional scuba diving + optional mangrove/ multiple bases available
Guest User2026-01-31
The boat trip takes about an hour and a half each way. Those sitting in the front are more prone to seasickness and vomiting, while those in the back avoid this problem, although the very last row is more likely to get wet. Aside from the long journey, the seawater on the island is incredibly clear. Even non-swimmers can gradually learn the ropes with the instructor's help. The product descriptions and actual products match. For those who don't want to pay extra, you can prepare your own supplies beforehand to avoid additional charges. The staff are very friendly, and the food is quite delicious. Overall, it was a good trip.â

Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.â

Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2026-02-28
During the Chinese New Year, the price of over 500 yuan per person is definitely not as good as usual, and a lot of time is wasted waiting for people to be picked up. Normally, with around 300+ people and fewer people, the experience would be much better. Overall, I'm still willing to give it a good review, because it's truly remarkable that they were able to arrange food, drinks, and entertainment for so many people with different itineraries and requirements, and even provide staggered pick-up and drop-off services during the Chinese New Year holiday. Although the journey is long, the scenery is stunning, and we even saw some wildlife đ. The itinerary was rich and varied, including snorkeling, sightseeing, monkey watching, firefly watching, sunset viewing, and ironwork performances. We drove back and forth several times on an extremely bumpy road near the Kawa entrance đ. The downsides are that the morning was rushed; we were too pressed for time on the island. There wasn't much to see while snorkeling; we only caught a few fish with bread. Furthermore, the resort was just an area enclosed by iron railings, with no hot water, and we had to queue to shower in smelly toilets. We didn't see the white sandbar, had a long lunch queue, and didn't take many photos before leaving. The bubbles sprayed on the sand looked a bit dirty and not dreamy at all. The transparent paddleboards weren't enough to keep us entertained, and they started rushing us back after we only took a few photos. The boats rocked so much in the big waves that it gave me a headache. These things are understandable and acceptable, but I was a little disappointed that the experience didn't match the description.â

Reviews: Sabah Kawa Mangrove Forest Day Trip [Small group tour available | Mosque | Proboscis monkeys and fireflies]
Guest User2026-01-12
I think this is a very worthwhile part of Kota Kinabalu; the fireflies are beautiful, and the tour guide is excellent. Aside from the slightly bumpy ride on the main road, there are no other downsides.â
