Description

Sapi & Manukan Twin Island Escape

Escape the crowds and experience island hopping the right way.

Your journey begins from an exclusive 5-Star Resort Jetty, offering a smoother, more relaxed boarding experience away from the busy public terminals. Fewer crowds, better timing, and a more comfortable start to your island day.

First stop: Manukan Island, the second largest island in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Known for its clear waters, well-maintained beaches, and excellent facilities, Manukan is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or simply unwinding by the sea. For those who enjoy light exploration, short nature trails offer a different view of the island’s tropical landscape.

Next, continue to Sapi Island, a compact yet stunning island famous for its powdery white sand and rich marine life. Just a short boat ride from Kota Kinabalu, Sapi Island is one of the best spots for beach snorkeling, where colorful reef fish often swim close to shore including Parrotfish and Napoleon fish.

This twin-island experience balances relaxation and light adventure, making it perfect for families, couples, and first-time visitors to Sabah who want a stress-free island day without rushing.

Both islands offer optional water sports and underwater experiences, available through licensed operators on the island (own expense) perfect for guests who want to enhance their island-hopping experience.

Went with my husband and two kids and this was hands down the best day trip we've had in KK. Loved that we left from the Sutera Harbour jetty instead of the crowded downtown terminal, way less chaos getting on the boat. Manukan's snorkeling was great, saw so many fish right off the beach, and Sapi in the afternoon felt quieter and more chill. Lunch was simple but decent. Would book again with no hesitation.
