Reviews: Sabah Mantanani Island Day Trip [Limited-Time Special Offer | New Resort | Optional Diving/Mangrove Retreat]
Guest User2025-11-13
Let me share my honest experience of snorkeling at Mantanani Island: the surprises outweighed the disappointments. The seawater was incredibly clean; you could clearly see corals and small fish of various species while snorkeling, making it a much better experience than other island snorkeling trips I've had. The instructors would lead us to areas with dense schools of fish and even use breadcrumbs to attract them; the feeling of being surrounded by fish was truly magical.★

Reviews: Sapi Island Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Malaysia + Manukan Island 1-day tour [Exclusive line + seafood BBQ lunch + water activities]
Guest User2025-10-11
A very fun route. The snorkeling spot is not deep, but there are a lot of fish and the water is very clear. There are several fun islands, and the guide's emotional value is very good. There are also big lizards on the island! Super cute! (In the eyes of locals, they are like puppies)★

Reviews: 1-day tour to Sabah Mangrove Fireflies in Malaysia - Kawa/Mirror of the Sky/Ying River
Guest User2024-12-23
With the elderly and children, we booked a day trip with a group of 7 people.
The tour guide Amei is Chinese, the service is particularly warm, and there is no obstacle to communication. Will also help my husband find betel nuts, help children catch fireflies, take pictures! ! The photos taken for us in the city of the sky are perfect. Because there are children in the car, the driver is very stable, the whole process is very pleasant, a perfect day trip! ! I wish everyone a smooth work and a happy and healthy life.
