Aiman was our guide, he was really knowledgeable and engaging for the entire tour. I did the morning tour with lunch afterwards, a good buffet with local foods and desert. I also had transport arranged, my driver Mr Alan was fantastic. 10/10 very worth doing if you have the time!★

Reviews: Sabah Kota Kinabalu Sapi & Mamutik Island Snorkeling Shared Day Tour Includes Lunch & Optional Water Activities
Guest User2025-07-18
The tour guide Tommy is a local Chinese, very enthusiastic, the same tour guide Winston is also warmly introduced, does not force self-funded projects, returns in advance, too tired to give up an island in the afternoon, sign confirmation
The sea was windy, the speedboat set off, the waves were bumpy, but the children were excited,
Snorkeling on the same island can see a lot of small fish. Unfortunately, it rained a few days ago and I couldn't go to Huantan Island and Mermaid Island. In fact, you can buy a ferry ticket to the island at Jesston Pier, and you don't need to follow the group.
Today includes lunch, but it is necessary to gather head, take a taxi to gather.
