Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park
📍 Malaysia Kota Kinabalu 코타키나발루 앞바다
Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park is a major marine park made up of five islands off Kota Kinabalu. You can choose easy-to-reach islands such as Manukan, Sapi, and Mamutik to enjoy the beach and snorkeling.
Since it's an island itinerary close to the city, a half-day trip is possible, but you'll need to check boat times and facilities on each island. Choosing one or two islands instead of trying to visit several at once makes the day more relaxed.

Useful tips
- Each island has a different atmosphere and level of crowding, so compare the island options and choose the one that fits your purpose.
- If you're snorkeling, it's important not to step on coral and to follow life-jacket and safety guidance.
- Bring a waterproof pouch, towel, change of clothes, and cash to give yourself more options on the islands.
- In the afternoon, weather and waves can change, so leave enough buffer for your return boat time.
Frequently asked questions
Is it better to visit all the islands in one day?
If it's your first visit, it's better to pick just one or two islands and leave enough time for the beach and snorkeling. If you rush through several islands, boat transfers and waiting can eat into your time there.
