Sabah Islands Trip

Astonished! Surprised! Excited! What a wonderful adjectives. All expressed by felling when I get to know that I will be on job in KK(Short form for Kota Kinabalu). Wonderful huh!

4 of us went in October. We took Malaysia Airlines and reach KK on Monday morning. As usual, this is part of our working lifestyle. Before the plane landed, looking out to the window, the water is so blue. My mind thinks only on the weekend. Planning ahead where to venture and eat. All about activities and food. Come back! Come back! (Telling myself not to wonder).

As the days go passed and the weekend is here, we set our mind on the islands. Pulau Sipandan the famous of all and the first episode of The Survivor is not what I am going after (Will be my next target in near future). Nevertheless, Manukan, Sapi and Mamutik is my target.

On that Saturday morning, 4 of us woke up early and had our breakfast at Best Western Kinabalu Daya Hotel; the place where we stay. Then we walk to Jesselton Point; the only place to those islands mentioned above. We only pay about RM30 per person to those islands.

As usual, we took few pictures at the point before departure. Our first destination is Manukan Island-the most popular and the most people recommended island. What you can do when you are in the island? Snorkeling, various water sports or even scuba diving. Eventually, we opted for a banana boat. Is fun and scary. The girls just screamed all the way and we had twice 360 degree turn. The whole activity only took us about 20 minutes to finish the ride and we paid RM120 for 4 person. Does it value for money?

Next, we proceed to Mamutik island. The weather is so warm and is the best time to go snorkeling. Remember, you should bring along a sunblock with you while you are going to a beach. we just spent a few hours at the island. Relaxing near the beach and had a sun bathing. Is so cool Isn't it?

Then, we proceed to Sapi island and had a wonderful time there. Meeting with few Japanese girls and managed to took some pictures with them. As the day is approaching to evening, we then depart to Jesselton point and ready for the night life.
