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

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-hour Langkawi mangrove cruise with Dangi Island snorkeling, caves, wildlife spotting, and Andaman Sea views, private group.

“The tour was great, and the guide was very knowledgeable. However, the snorkeling part didn’t meet our expectations. There wasn’t much to see underwater, and only a few fish appeared when we tossed in some bread. The trip is worth recommending, but the snorkeling can be skipped.”

Stopped at a fish raising place on the river and got to pet the manta and see the fish spit water to knock the bread off of the wall and into where they could feed on it.”

9.Island Hopping with Snorkeling & Meal

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 9 reviews · 1 day · from $63Best value

Island hop from Kota Kinabalu to Manukan and Sapi for snorkeling, coral views, and a buffet lunch from Jesselton Jetty.

“Es war total schlecht organisiert. Ich habe im Vorfeld Anweisungen bekommen, die ich genau befolgt habe, allerdings wurde man gefühlt immer hin und her geschickt, wobei keiner genaue Informationen hatte. Auf den Inseln war der Strand wirklich schön, aber dieser Eindruck wurde gleich von vielen Touristen zerstört, die sich teilweise wie die Axt im Walde benommen haben. Das hat man beispielsweise an den vielen toten Korallenriffen bemerkt. Einige haben sich einen Spaß daraus gemacht die kleinen Komodowarane zu jagen. Bei der Wartezeit am Strand war es super chaotisch, weil es viele verschiedene Anbieter gibt, die jeweils nur ihre Gäste mitnehmen, was zu langen Wartezeiten und überfüllten Stege...”

Alll in all, a great experience for the price.”

12.Kota Kinabalu | Snorkeling Sapi Island/Manukan Island

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 3 reviews · 7 hours · from $69

Sapi Island snorkeling and beach time near Kota Kinabalu. Boat transfers, gear, and lunch included for a 7 hour day.

“Veel te druk op sapi island daardoor geen tropisch eiland gevoel. Ook de manier hoe tijdens ons bezoek de bepaalde nationaliteiten hun vakantie willen vieren met grote groepen is niet wenselijk. Ook de hoeveelheid afval/plastic overal is zeer treurig om te zien. Geen aanrader.”
