Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu island-hopping sightseeing cruise ticket Sapi Island Manukan Island Mamutik Island snorkeling parasailing sea walking
Guest User2026-10-06
I went to Mamutik Island, did banana boat rides and snorkeling. The water was very clear and there were many fish; I saw lots of sea urchins and various other kinds of fish.
The weather wasn't great, so I didn't get to do parasailing. I contacted customer service (Xiao Mu), and they promptly refunded me. Xiao Mu responded quickly and provided thorough pre-trip reminders. It's worth a visit; it's especially beautiful on a sunny day.★

Reviews: [Three Islands] Sutera Harbour Marina Jetty - Manukan, Mamutik & Sapi Island Round-Trip Boat Ticket | Kota Kinabalu, Sabah
Guest User2026-05-05
The value for money was amazing! We went to Manukan first, then Mamuthi, and finally Sapi Island. Each time we changed islands, staff were there to guide us, and they spoke multiple languages, making it very convenient. The large boat was very stable, preventing seasickness. We stayed at Pacific Silk Island, a five-minute walk from the pier, and could go directly to our room to shower after disembarking. We saw many fish in Manukan and Sapi, making it perfect for those who are afraid of water. With our feet on the ground, only our bangs got wet. Bringing our own snorkeling gear made it even cleaner, and we bought a prescription mask, finally able to see the fish clearly underwater. The staff forgot to give us our life jackets, so I rented one from a safety officer in Manukan. When we arrived at the second island, we realized we hadn't returned it. The staff said they would return it for us, which was already very appreciated. Then, after I mentioned that they hadn't told me to bring a life jacket, they proactively contacted me and refunded me the rental price – a very unexpected experience! The water near the islands was quite clean, and the weather was nice that day. It started raining as soon as we got back to the hotel, but luckily we didn't get splashed or wet in the water.★

Reviews: Kota Kinabalu Weston Mangrove Half-Day Tour with Fireflies and Sky Mirror at Kawa Weston
Guest User2026-09-29
The journey was a bit long, but well worth it! Xia Ya's product recommendations were fantastic! She was incredibly patient in explaining the differences between the products and kept us updated on event information, which made us feel very reassured while traveling abroad. 👍 The guide said we were extremely lucky; the weather cooperated perfectly at all the key points of the itinerary. While searching for proboscis monkeys, we also saw water buffalo, and quickly found the proboscis monkeys. Then we saw long-tailed gibbons. The proboscis monkeys were very gentle, while the long-tailed gibbons were quite noisy—such a stark contrast between the two monkeys! Kota Kinabalu had been shrouded in smog for a month without a sunset, but on the day we saw it, something magical happened—the sun managed to peek out and we witnessed a beautiful sunset. Although it was only about 10% of what it used to be, we were all very satisfied! The fireflies at night were absolutely breathtaking. They truly only appear in places with exceptionally healthy ecosystems. You could feel how much the people in the reserve care for the environment; they reminded us of many important things to be aware of. The fireflies were truly magical!★

Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah royal bay sky mirror mangrove | proboscis monkeys and fireflies/private small group optional
Guest User2026-10-08
It's a pity we didn't get to see the animals up close this trip, but seeing the fireflies at night was incredibly romantic!
Our guide, my cousin, gave us so many surprises! He was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, bringing a small speaker to play music the whole way, making the trip relaxed and enjoyable. At the beach, he even offered to take amazing photos for us; his photography skills are superb, and he knows exactly how to frame the shots. Overall, I highly recommend the experience!
