Mamutik Island, Kota Kinabalu

Beautiful island and a must see during your visit to Kota Kinebalu. At the weekend it can be very busy because the locals go to the island then. As a traveler, keep this in mind. My tip would be to go early. Buy some snacks or sandwiches beforehand. The prices on the island are very high. It is also absolutely worth renting a snorkel set. Dozens of species of fish can be seen. Be careful not to step on the coral, they are living organisms.

For sure we are enjoy swimming and relaxing and it’s fun we’re build castle sand.After that we are walking around the beach and taking some picture.

I went there from Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal with a ferry company called Kinabalu Cemerlang. Including ferry taxes, it was 30RM per person, but when we got to the island, we had to pay 20RM per person as a foreigners fee (you're excluded to pay this if you're Malaysian). I also rented goggles for 10RM each. This island is the third stop of the ferry tour, so it will take you like 20 minutes to get there. The beach at the left side (when you leave the ferry pick up point) is wider than the one at the right side. They have places to eat and stay overnight, so expect it to be crowded.

Wonderful little island very close from Kota Kinabalu.Crystal clear water, white sand and palm trees! The perfect recipe! Lots of fish to spot. They actually swim around you. To get there drive to Jesselton point. From there you can easily book a speed boat to the islands around. Better arrive in Mamutik early before it gets crowded. It's part of the national park.

White fine sandy beach. Crystal clear water. Lacking in F&B selection. Problem with local fauna species getting too friendly with visitors.
