Visiting Sapi and Manukan was a lot of fun! The snorkelling was great and we got to see a lot of fish and coral. Lunch was much better than we expected with a variety of food. Our guide was informative and looked after us for the day.

Magnificent experience, loved the tour. Very well organised with friendly guides. Did the snorkelling and parasailing, guides took us to great locations and allowed us to have free time to explore the beautiful islands. Highly recommend this activity.
