Mantanani Islands is a group of three isolated islands that boast of crystal clear blue waters filled with a myriad of marine life and white sandy beaches fringed by coconut palm trees, making it an excellent destination for snorkeling, scuba diving or island hopping. One of the main reasons that Mantanani Islands is popular for local and tourists alike is because of its picturesque scenery, cool breezes and serene environment. The sun also seems a lot prettier in Mantanani. After a whole day of diving, snorkelling or kayaking, sit back and feast your eyes on the gorgeous layers of orange hues penetrating the clouds as the sun sets. In the morning, nothing beats sitting on the jetty with your legs dangling over the water, watching the sun rising as gentle breeze caresses your skin and ruffles your hair. Be spellbound also by the magnificent view of Mount Kinabalu veiled in chiffon-like clouds and morning mist.
The journey to the island begins with about one and a half hour drive from Kota Kinabalu to ‘Kampung Kuala Abai Jetty’ off Kota Belud Town. From here on, a 60 minutes boat ride by speedboat to reach the little piece of heaven, the Island of Mantanani. At some point the boat ride can be very bumpy and this very much depends on the sea conditions itself.
