▲ The Mantanani Islands are located northwest of Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, and are actually named Mantanani Island. Comprising three offshore islands, they earned their name from the dugongs once found in the nearby waters. With crystal-clear waters and pristine white sandy beaches, this area is a marine ecological conservation zone, ideal for water activities like snorkeling. (⚠️ Flying is prohibited within 24 hours after scuba diving. Please confirm your flight schedule before booking to ensure your departure time is more than 24 hours after your scuba diving itinerary. Safety first—thank you for your cooperation.)
▲ Yearning for crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches? The Mantanani Islands, hailed as the "Maldives of Southeast Asia," are your perfect choice!

▲ Kawa is one of the three famous mangrove routes in Kota Kinabalu, a paradise for photography enthusiasts! Here, you can not only capture cinematic shots of golden sunsets reflecting on the tidal flats, but also witness thousands of fireflies twinkling like Christmas trees along the riverbanks at night, creating an incredibly romantic atmosphere.
▲ The package includes two luxury meals! Return to the island restaurant at noon for a lavish buffet featuring crab, prawns, and 10 other sumptuous dishes to replenish your energy after snorkeling. In the evening, head to RIA Private Beach Restaurant to savor their signature creamy prawn dinner under the magnificent golden sunset. This feast, from the deep blue sea to your palate, will undoubtedly mark the perfect finale to your Sabah journey.
