Many islands in Kota Kinabalu Mermaid and Huantan Island are the first choice for snorkeling. Huantan Island is an hour's boat ride from Kota Kinabalu City. Compared with Mermaid Island, Huantan Island is an island without Aboriginal people, so there is no pollution. The sea is particularly clear. Mermaid Island has several vacation double islands. Shabi Island It is an island very close to the city. 15min boat ride, so the sea is clean and there are no two farther islands. But there are many water entertainment facilities (Umbrellas or something) (will be detailed later)
