Spend seven hours island hopping from Kota Kinabalu to Sapi and Manukan, with snorkeling gear, beach lunch, hotel transfers, and free time.
“Sapi island was beautiful. However my guide was mostly uncommunicative and clueless. I'd have done better arranging my own trip without the agent.”
Review of Kota Kinabalu’s Sapi and Manukan island tour, with snorkeling, buffet lunch, boat transfers, costs, drawbacks, and booking advice.
“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”
Ride a jet ski around Langkawi’s islands, watch eagles at Singa Besar, swim at Intan Kecil, and relax on Beras Basah Beach.
“I finished the jet skiing, took my water shoes off that were provided by the company and found both of my feet covered in what looked like bites. This ruined my entire holiday.”
Review of Langkawi’s four-hour island hopping tour, with eagle feeding, Dayang Bunting Lake, Beras Basah beach, transfers, costs, and tips.
“So the boat takes you to 3 places which literally has nothing! In the first island, a part of the water has been demarcated for children/ family to swim, in the second, you are taken to a mid point of the sea where the driver feeds the eagle ( yes, that's it) and in the third, you Read more”

“Paid over $100 AUD for basically nothing. Had a boat ride to Sapi Island. The guide didn't explain anything, was an effort to get snorkelling equipment. We snorkelled for maybe 45mins before it poured down with rain. We then sat under a coveRead more”

“The trip itself is ok. There is a lack of information during the trip. There are no explanations it is only hop on hop off.If you want just to use the boat only on travel purposes is fine to book this trip. If you expect more find something different.”

Review of Semporna’s island-hopping trip to Bohey Dulang, Mantabuan, and Sibuan, with hiking, snorkeling, lunch, tips, and honest value advice.
“Stay away! Although the organizers knew that it was impossible to visit one of the islands due to the tide, we were only warned during the excursion. Inedible packed lunch. Untrained staff driving the vehicle. Two moorings where in one it hit the coral reef, in the other an adjacent boat. Improvised. During the return trip the bench where we were sitting collapsed. The price is far higher than local organizations”
Ride a jet ski around Dayang Bunting’s islands, swim in Pregnant Maiden Lake, kayak, hike, and relax on Beras Basah Island.
“Atrakcja była w porządku, jednak oczekiwanie na rozpoczęcie i start 1,5h po czasie, bo zbierali innych ludzi co powoduje, że nie zasługuje na więcej niż 2 gwiazdki. O opóźnieniu nie poinformował nikt z firmy a jak na miejscu mieliśmy się pojawić o 9:15, to oni byli o 9:30 [wtedy miała rozpocząć się atrakcja] i dopiero rozpoczęli zwozić i przygotowywać sprzęt. Dla osób, które szanują swój czas odradzam tą firmę.”
