1.Snorkeling & Island Hopping Sapi & Manukan

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 97 reviews · 1 day · from $67Best overall

Speedboat day in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park with snorkeling at Sapi and Manukan, hotel pickup, buffet lunch, and optional water sports.

“Tour guide was friendly and positive, spent over three hours on the first island (sapi) and an hour on the second (Manukan) which was nicer of the two. Felt like the long stay on sapi was mainly to pressure you into paying for the additional activities. Lunch wasn’t bad but quite greasy and not worth the price”

★★★★★★★★★★3.2 · 4 reviews · 7 hours · from $93

Private Dinawan Island in Sabah for snorkeling, kayaking, jungle trails, and a sunset hi-tea with fresh seafood. Quiet, hands-on, and good value.
