Description

At Mantanani Island, the sea is clear and warm. The coral reefs for your open water activities are nearby and offer great variety of marine life.

The snorkeling here is superb. The islands are well away from river outflows and urban pollution resulting in great visibility. The reefs are shallow, so easy to observe with fantastic coral cover.

The island itself is coral sand, resulting in blinding white beaches and achingly beautiful turquoise lagoons. Mantanani Island offers tranquility and romance. Great place to relax in between course works.


Kid, Expecting mother, Elderly

- Free of charge for the kid who is below 3 years old. A staff will be assigned to look after your kid at the boat when you are snorkeling.
- Due to the unpredictable rough sea conditions, expecting mothers (especially during the early stage of pregnancy) is not suitable to join this tour.
- The road to Kota Belud jetty from KK is very hilly and curvy, the guest were not used to the elevation and winding roads might get dizzy.
