We were nervous about our 4-day trip after reading reviews describing a filthy island and bad resorts, but we had a great time at Mantanani and would recommend it to anyone who values peace and quiet over the "perfect experience".
Yes, there are bottles littered outside of the many closed down resorts. Yes, it was hit hard by covid and there is little open in terms of amenities. BUT, it you find a good homestay or resort to stay at, and don't expect the beach to be lined with bars and warungs, then you will have an absolutely amazing time. We stayed on the west side of the island at Norsah Homestay, near Little Dolphin and Reluxe resorts, and found the beach and bay to be clean and beautiful. Our biggest advice is to bring your own sunscreen, toiletries, etc since there are only very very small kampong market shops. Also make sure all your food is sorted, either provided by homestay/resort or brought with you.
If you are looking to enjoy a beach away from crowds, this island is for you. Many mornings we would swim and literally be the only people swimming in the bay. We didn't see other tourists for two days straight, and the locals were very friendly and helpful. We did four scuba dives, and there is plenty of snorkel spots, including a small point we could reach swimming from shore.
In summary, this island is recovering and is not perfect, but with a little patience and preparation you can have a vacation so peaceful and relaxing that you can't really get anywhere else.

The island is sadly full of garbage everywhere. On the beach and in the sea. When entering into the sea you see plastic bottles, clothes. Horrible expierience. We left after 1 night. Moreover there are quite a lot of daytrippers. The resort where we were staying little dolphin resort is very basic with cockroaches and falling tiles in the bathroom. Only chinese tourists so everithing organized for them (dinner, breakfast….)
The only positive thing is one of the 2 snorkeling sites we visited (15 minutes by boat from the resort). Blue reef, never seen before with a lot of tropical fishes

Despite a very nice snorkel and beautiful landscape the island is disappointing for the plastic and rubbish along the shore. It's literally impossible to walk on the beach because the amount of garbage, mainly plastic bottles but not only, covering the sand. This is so sad! We booked for 3 nights at Little Dolphin (overpriced and very basic) and we decided to go back to KK after the first night as we felt uncomfortable for the dirt around us. I'd avoid to go there.

Have never seen anything like this and was very disappointed. Do yourself a favour and do not visit until the government cleans it up. The whole place is just full of waste

No doubt this island was once very beautiful but now it is a plastic wasteland. The resorts are irresponsible in their use of plastic water bottles and disposable slippers.
Depressing!

We booked this excursion through the consierge at the Marriott. First, we were surprised it was a 2 hr drive from the hotel to the dock. Then we waited at least 45 minutes for other parties to arrive and we're crammed into a very small boat for a 45 boat ride to the island. Thankfully we had a back row seat that opened to the outside but the poor people inside were very hot. We got to the island and changed to go snorkeling. 2 stops ,30 min each. We just traveled 3.5 hours for an hour of snorkeling. The snorkeling itself was only average. Some nice reefs, but not a lot of fish. The first site was better than the second. Afterwards, back to the island for lunch and some beach time. Our little patch of beach was mostly clean but just 50 m away was littered with piles of trash. We weren't sure if it had washed up or been left by other tours. Then, we turned around and headed back home 4 hrs due to rush hour traffic (no joke in KK). Some picturesque moments, but I'd skip this one.

Travel by land to a coastal town and than by boat for about 30 minutes to this beautiful sandy beach island. Water is clear and a few accommodation operators available. Some island activities are snorkelling , diving, kayaking, sunset cruise.

The view was amazing. I will not reccomend this place if you are prone to sea sick. Its too far from land. Approx 45min.
Using speed boat to get here and its bumpy ride.

My visit to this wonderful island will promise a memorable experience in your life. There are so many things to be discovered here. It is such a great destination for those who need to distress themselves from the chaos of the city. For sure, Redang totally offer the vast experience to the visitors. So,do visit island and experience it by yourself!

Our tour guide with Amazing Borneo tours was really nice and helpful. He went out of his way to do what he could to make the tour special. The Island itself is really beautiful. I would have liked a bit more time to walk around the island. We did the snorkeling trip. We had about 30 minutes at 2 locations I think the time should be a bit longer like 1 hour at each spot. The boat ride there was fun and the wind blowing as the boat gained speed felt really nice. Super pretty clear water!!! Overall nice trip.

Hi there,
Is there any jellyfish in the sea? I mean I heard there are a plenty of jellyfish in most of the islands in KK. My friend is scared of jellyfish. Do you think it’s safe to do snorkelling and swimming there?

I try browsing Web page, all also come with tland transportation (from KK city), boat, then water sport activities which cost around Rm300.
I just want to chill at the island.
Please advise, thanks in advance

Hi, you need to do the first part of the journey by road, around 80 km, I guess, and then take the boat. Why don’t you call a Grab and arrange with the driver to take care of everything? It worth the price and ask him to drive you and help you to get the boat tickets. It is the best option.

hi thanks! but i mean, lets say i want to book a place for 3 days 2 night without package. planning to have a peaceful staycation only. just wondering if there are any boat operating just to go there at the first day and return back at last day?

If you find a hotel/hostel on Mantani Island to book, I think that they will help you arrange transport there as I did a day tour and we had people on the boat in the morning who were only going there to stay. We then had people who got on the boat on the way back who were returning from the island. As such, I would check with whichever place you book. In terms of there just being boats operating from the jetty simply to go to Manatani island, I didn't see anything like that. It seems to be all privately run boats, but again you can check with the hotels on the island as they may have a separate schedule. Good choice to stay there though, it's beautiful and very peaceful/relaxing! Enjoy!

Yes. There are day tours you can take. Just look up on the internet. There are several of them and restaurants and activity centers cater to day tour only that include diving and snorkeling

jedyna opcja to transfer z kk do kota belud a pozniej łódka. Niestety nie ma „rejsowych” łódek, wiec jak dotrze sie do Kota Belud to trzeba mieć albo wykupiona jednodniowa wycieczkę albo transport zaaranżowany przez kogoś z miejscowych (druga opcja wiąże sie z noclegiem na wyspie) My spalismy w greenlodge house na Mantanani. Odebrano nas z KK samochodem a łódka juz czekała, właściciele Fred i JP to niesamowicie uprzejmi i otwarci ludzie.

Hi!
You wrote you have been in Malaysia for some quite long time.
Do you have an advice where to find a beautiful island in Malaysia perhaps with limestones and hills and crystal clear waters but with a more friendly locals attitude and some restaurants.

Hi Belinda,
Sorry for the late reply. The contact number for the Homestay I've been previously is +60105838940, Madam Mainah. Her house is facing the beach and a small jetty.
You can try the number and see if they could get someone who can understand English to communicate with you. The Homestay owners can also arrange for the boat ride.
In any case that you couldn't get the number, from Kota Kinabalu, you can arrange your own transfer to the nearest jetty in Kota Belut to go to the Island and walk in to any of the Homestays of your preference.
I hope the above info is helpful to you.
Take care,
Liz
