FAQ
Snorkeling in Mantanani
If you are into snorkelling, Sabah offers you plenty of options. And while the Tunku Abdul Rahman park ( Gaya, Sapi, Manukan and Mamutik) is famous, it is crowded because it is too close to the city.
If you want a better snorkelling option, (but takes a little of travel), Mantanani is a better choice.
