It is only 15-minute away by boat ride, almost a no-brainer choice for people who want an island day trip near to Kota Kinabalu City (KK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_1.jpg\" alt=\"Manukan Island\"\/><br \/>However, to be fair, the reason Manukan Island becomes the most famous island is not just because it&#8217;s &#8220;convenient.&#8221; It does have three other outstanding factors that make this beautiful island of South China Sea a favorite destination.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_2.jpg\" alt=\"beach of Pulau Manukan\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factor #1. Manukan has long stretch of white sandy beach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Its long beach spans about 1,500 Meter at southern side of the island, facing a bay of crystal clear and tranquil sea. The water is so calm and shallow that it&#8217;s also suitable for non-swimmers. Families feel safe to let their kids playing in the water. No matter how far their children go, parents still can have a clear open view on what&#8217;s going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_3.jpg\" alt=\"sea of Manukan Island\"\/><br \/>Manukan is the second largest island of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/tunku-abdul-rahman-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park<\/a><\/strong> (TARP in short), and its beach is vast. Though Manukan has hundreds of visitors every day, there is still enough big space for everyone. You won&#8217;t accidentally trip over a carpet of tourists sunbathing on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_3-1280x601.jpg\" alt=\"View of Mount Kinabalu and Kota Kinabalu city from Manukan Island.\" class=\"wp-image-16062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_3-1280x601.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_3-700x329.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_3-768x361.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_3-1536x721.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_3.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of Mount Kinabalu and Kota Kinabalu city from Manukan Island.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factor #2. Manukan has the Most Developed Facilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Tourists can find almost everything they need there, from toilet, shower room, restaurants, water sport activities, souvenir shop to accommodation. You can go to Manukan empty-handed (must bring cash!) and buy your things such as food, sunscreen and beachwear on the island. But please be informed nothing is cheap on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_7.jpg\" alt=\"tourists sunbathe on Pulau Manukan\"\/><br \/>Another thing I like about Manukan is its forested shore. After a swim in hot day, we can retreat to the shade, rest on the bench and enjoy the gentle sea breeze. It can be quite cooling under the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_6.jpg\" alt=\"white sandy beach of Manukan\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_4.jpg\" alt=\"lifeguard in Manukan\"\/><br \/>There are a few lifeguards keeping an eye on the sea. They also know how to deal with injury caused by jellyfish sting and sea urchin. For crime prevention, there are some police on the island too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factor #3. Manukan Island has the Best Snorkelling Spot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the five islands of TARP, Manukan Island ranks top as a snorkelling site. Though its coral reef is not of world class, it&#8217;s still a wonderful treat to nature lovers. <strong>Sighting of Nemo is guaranteed.<\/strong> You can even see Nemo from the jetty, with thousands of other fishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_9.jpg\" alt=\"WuChun (\u5434\u5c0a) in Manukan Island\"\/><br \/>In fact, many Hong Kong celebrities have been to Manukan Island. Usually they come to Manukan as personal trip and try to stay low profile. Don&#8217;t be surprised if you find WuChun or other superstars laying just next to you in Manukan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following is a 3-min video for you to see more beauty of Manukan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_20924\"  width=\"930\" height=\"523\"  data-origwidth=\"930\" data-origheight=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lu6NsZqEJHI?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entrance Fee<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to purchase ticket (which they call Conservation Fee) to enter the island. The table below is the ticket rates. Don&#8217;t forget to add return boat transfer and terminal fee (about RM30 in total, \u2248US$9) to your travel budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Nationality<\/th><th>Adult<\/th><th>Below 18<\/th><th>Below 6<\/th><th>60 &amp; above<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Malaysian<\/td><td>RM8<\/td><td>RM5<\/td><td>Free<\/td><td>Free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Non-Malaysian<\/td><td>RM25<\/td><td>RM20<\/td><td>RM20<\/td><td>RM20<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Conservation fee with effect from 1 Jan 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>*Rates updated in Jan 2023.

Day trip tourists have to leave the island before 5pm so most of them don&#8217;t bother to walk 1.5 KM to Sunset Point that has no sunset. I&#8217;m not sure whether that can motivate them, if I tell them <strong>two rare mangrove trees, which are critically endangered and only 200 of them left in the wild, are found at Sunset Point.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_32.jpg\" alt=\"jungle trail and jogging track\"\/><br \/>There are two ways to reach Sunset Point, one by rugged and unpaved jungle trail and another one by jogging track. Do you love bugs and birds? If it&#8217;s a BIG yes, take the jungle trail, otherwise follow the jogging track. The bonus of exploring jungle trail is a chance for sighting of <em>Philippine Megapode<\/em>, a chicken-like bird with red face. If you are the first one entering the jungle trail in the morning, you would spot this elusive bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_33.jpg\" alt=\"jogging track to the Sunset Point\"\/><br \/>The jogging track is mostly flat path and probably accessible by wheelchair. Along the way, you would see some beautiful trees with interesting barks. The soil on Manukan is not fertile, so most trees are short and slim, with dense ferns, palms and vines growing among them. By the way, swarm of mosquitoes is present during wet season but can be none in dry month. Bring your insect repellent just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_34.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset Point\"\/><br \/>Pic: the broken shelter at Sunset Point<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_35.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset Point of Manukan\"\/><br \/>After 45 minutes, I arrived Sunset Point. I didn&#8217;t even sweat because the track is well-shaded by tree canopy. Look at the photo above, do you see a narrow path at the left? Just follow that narrow route under dense Pandanus trees to descend to the beach. It&#8217;s a bit steep so please proceed cautiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_36.jpg\" alt=\"view of Sulug Island from Sunset Point\"\/><br \/>Pic: view of Sulug Island from the Sunset Point. It is a rocky shore without nice beach. The scenery is nice anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/images\/2015\/20150420_37.jpg\" alt=\"rare mangrove tree Bruguiera hainesii\"\/><br \/>Pic: rare mangrove trees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally I saw the rare mangrove trees. They are locally known as <em>Berus Mata Buaya<\/em> (means &#8220;Eye of the Crocodile&#8221;). <strong>Its scientific name is <em>Bruguiera hainesii<\/em>, and only about 200 of them left in the world<\/strong> (mainly in Indonesia and Malaysia). I&#8217;m so happy that we have two on Manukan. I have no idea how they got here. These two trees look like a couple. Perhaps they purposely chose this sunset viewpoint as their landing spot? So romantic. There are two seedlings growing next to them. Seem like they are starting a family. Not only that, both trees were flowering and fruiting during my visit. Singaporean plant scientist Prof Dr Jean Yong said, &#8220;having the tree here is equivalent to China having pandas.&#8221; I got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KGwluTh6pJY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">close-up video of these trees<\/a> if you want to see more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Manukan Island is a wonderful destination. I recommend it to tourists who don&#8217;t want to travel far to our east coast for island trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mysabah.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20260223_2-1280x641.jpg\" alt=\"Entrance and activity fees for the island, with separate rates for Malaysians and international visitors.
