After visiting Sapi Island, a 5 minute boat ride to Manukan Island is a dream. Nearly 3 times the size of Sapi, it boasts a stunning flora, fauna and marine life, with a colorful array of fish species to view while snorkeling or diving out at sea, an amazing 1.5km hiking trail through to Sunset Point (not to miss as it’s been said one of the best sunset points in Malaysia), and relaxing accommodation options and food options to choose. Well worth a quick travel from the mainland at only 30 ringgit.

Lovely and a bit quieter than the other islands off KK. Nice beach looking across at Tanjung Aru and the hills behind KK

We had a day trip island hopping and visited Sapi island for snorkeling. We went para sailing here and also zip lined. The snorkeling was safe and we saw many beautiful fish and sea creatures. The water was warm and clear. Underwater visibility was great. Parasailing left from here a we had a great adventure. Can recommend doing this. I also zip lined across the coral reef and it was awesome. I can highly recommend doing this. A great island to visit, but take cash not card and no eftpos availability here.

If you want to look for a quite place with crystal clear water and very soft sands, please go for Mantanani. For me, 1.5hour drive was not bad at all. The road was not bumpy as people mentioned. I regret not to stay overnight in the island :( Best time to visit : Feb - April (what the boat guys said)
