Kota Kinabalu: Sapi Island

admin — Sun, 02 May 2010 17:16:27 +0000

Sapi island is left with little coastline. It is no longer the glorious beautiful island it was on postcards taken 15 years ago !

In September 2009, the shore is what you see in this picture here. The Jetty is also extremely HIGH !!! Even the westerners have difficulty boarding the boat. Not user friendly, is it built for humans ??? I wonder who is the one who had this jetty built in the first place !

Kota Kinabalu: Manukan Island

Manukan Island is off the coast of Kota Kinabalu. Ferry departs from Jesselton Poing Ferry Terminal.

Manukan island is beautiful with good toilet / bathroom facility. Although there are no lockers on all the islands.

There is good spread of buffet from the restaurant on the beach. This island is quite big and I would rather spend my whole day here than to go to other islands. Marine life is interesting and lot of them can be spotted near the jetty.

Kota Kinabalu: Mamutik Island

Go to Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal to book your ticket to the islands off Kota Kinabalu. Mamutik Island is very small and the toilet / bathroom facility is very run-down. Out of about 4 rooms, only 2 is usable. The whole place was very dirty. The sea water is clear but not clean. Jetty is ridiculously high ! Only those with long legs can board the boat comfortably.

On every Sunday in Kota Kinabalu City, Gaya Street comes alive in the morning with lots of stalls.

Central Market

At the central market along Jl Tun Fuad Stephens, lots of dried seafood and local snacks are sold here in Kota Kinabalu city. But the dried shrimps & small fish don’t look top grade. Salted fish and dried sea cucumber are plentiful here. Bargain for a good price.
