Island-hopping and water fun guide at Sapi Island near Kota Kinabalu

🌈 For a leisurely time on the beach and island, Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia is a great place with various island-hopping options. Here's a one-day guide to island-hopping and playing in the water around Sapi Island. It is recommended to join a tour group, which can be booked online or through a hotel. The cost is about 400+ RMB, including hotel transfers and meals. ✅ Travel Tips 👉 Gather at the hotel at 8 am, take a shuttle to the pier, which takes about an hour, then wait at the pier for the boat to depart, which also takes more than an hour. After arriving, change clothes and get ready to go snorkeling. The water is clear and jelly-like, and you can see schools of fish. Underwater photography is provided for a fee, and Xiao Hei will help take pictures with an underwater camera. Snorkeling usually takes place 1-2 times, and you'll be taken to better areas to play, including feeding fish with bread, which is very effective. There's free time on the beach to wade and play in the waves, with trees, rest areas, and decorated swings for photo opportunities. Near the beach, you can also swim in the clear water with fine sand and enjoy the sunshine to the fullest. After snorkeling, it's usually time for lunch, with some shrimp, crab, chicken wings, and fried food provided. The trip generally ends in the afternoon, and you'll be taken back to the hotel. 📌 Precautions: UV rays are strong, so remember to use full-spectrum sunscreen, and be fully prepared with sun-protective clothing, sunglasses, and hats. Also, prepare a set of replacement clothing. If the weather is bad, do not easily go to the island, as the boat ride can be very bumpy and long, causing seasickness and vomiting, which can be very uncomfortable and also unsafe. There is basically no signal on the island.
