Manukan Island Day Trip from Kota Kinabalu

Boomerang shaped Manukan is the second largest Island of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park which has good stretches of beaches on the southern coastline. Manukan is the most beautiful, most visited and most recommended of the 5 islands. On this Island you can enjoy the sunlight, beautiful breaches, fun beach activities such as beach volleyball, parasailing and more! You can also enjoy snorkeling. The best site to snorkel is among the corals the darker color of the sea means there's a coral bed below the water. It is advised that you swim away from the boat pier and pillar. There is a 1500m track that extends throughout the island, eventually reaching the sunrise point. It is an absolutely stunning walk, and a must-do when visiting Manukan. The track can be quite steep at time, but it is fully paved the whole way. “Please note: fishing is not allowed here as it can ruin the balance of the sea ecosystem”.
