Gladys, I think there is no limit. The main thing is to have the life vest on. Boat rides to Manukan take about 15-20 minutes too.

Cheryl, apart from Manukan, I would strongly suggest you see Pulau Sapi - http://blog.malaysia-asia.my/2010/07/pulau-sapi-island-in-sabah.html

Around KK, if you have time, visit the MAri Mari Cultural Village - http://blog.malaysia-asia.my/2010/07/mari-mari-cultural-village-in-sabah.html

Hi David,
i would like to go Pulau Manukan the end of the year 2010 to celebrate my birthday there.
But i need more information from you, if you dont mind, to telling me how to get there from Kota Kinabalu town( ^,~ I am from Sarawak and currently working in Kuala Lumpur) ?
By the way, how about the room rate? I mean, hotel or resort?
Thank you so much, David.

Vendetta, no worries.

Anon - Well, they both have similar underwater life so doesn't really matter. But in any case, Manukan is easier.

hi David. I am not a swimmer myself but I would like to try snorkeling in one of the islands. Which island would you recommend for me? Pulau Manukan or Sapi?

Mei, I love going back there everytime I visit KK.

vforVendetta - Ok, the best possible option for you would be to stay at one of the normal hotels in KK town. From here, you can simply hop on the ferries to Manukan for a day trip as and when you like. The prices of hotels in KK town range from RM50-200 so depending on your budget.

There are some really nice hotels to

Mylo, thanks and no worries about the survey. And yes, there were 2 of us, so we rented the boat to visit all the islands. We did this at Redang, Perhentian and also Tioman.

Yoon See, thank you very much. I will check out your game.

Ai Wei, thank you and yes, islands in Sabah are really beautiful. The ones at Sipidan are more beautiful.

Another well written travel guide about Pulau Manukan! Kind of reminds me of my trip to Langkawi. Lush and beautiful settings.
