This tour is over priced and not worth the price at all. At the pier you can literally purchase this tour for 35$ pp with the gear. They also do not disclose the fact will will be island hopping on a speedboat. The drivers are reckless and inconsiderate. If you get sea sick easily do not book this tour. The tour guide was nice but the over all tour was not.

Have a try

Island Hopping

The tour guide was helpful; she watched our bags while we swam. However, it would have been more enjoyable if the tour guide or someone on the boat had some historical background on the various islands we visited.

Better do it independently.

Sapi island was beautiful. However my guide was mostly uncommunicative and clueless. I'd have done better arranging my own trip without the agent.

Island hopping tour

The islands were beautiful. I especially enjoyed Sapan. Nural really took good care of me since I am handicapped.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

beaitiful islands just a short distance away

Cuneyt_B, Aug 2022

It was nice to experience the islands nearby within their daily life. And the guides were so nice, they did not only lead us there but at the same time took care of our belongings when we were having fun in the sea.

Best day on the water

Nicole_H, Jul 2022

We enjoyed the snorkelling and the sea walking was just phenomenal a great place to visit if you love to swim with the fish

Worst island hopping in my life

Maria_N, May 2022

Our tour guide was nice, but we arrived at the island full of people and we weren’t informed about it, that due to public holiday it will be overcrowded. The water was dirty and they told us, that there might be jellyfishes and sea urchins. We weren’t informed about it either, so we didn’t take any special clothes or equipment for that. They proposed us sea walking on the island and then, they told us there are no more places, so we can do it on the second island. We had 3 hours to stay on the crowded beach and it wasn’t written in the description of the trip. The trip was called island hopping and we were supposed to stay on the crowded beach for 3 hours. Pictures on the website were showing nice fishes and they are not true. There were no fishes as in the pictures and a man organising seawalking told us, that if we want to see nice fishes we would have to go somewhere else, not to this islands. I am sending you photos of how it looked like. Therefore I would like to request a refund for this trip as it was not at all what was written on the website. I would never recommend this trip to anyone.

A nice time at a sea shore

Viktor_A, Feb 2020

A nice and well organized trip. A good chance to swim and spend your time at the sea shore when you are in Kota-Kinabalu. But the islands do not present any specific interest for travelers. There is nothing that you haven’t seen elsewhere.
