Kayak to quiet coves & snorkel coral reefs. A slower way to explore the islands.
Looking for a different way to visit the islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park? Instead of hopping on a crowded boat, paddle your own sea kayak across turquoise waters from Tanjung Aru Beach. It's the only trip in Sabah where you can kayak from the mainland to the marine park – no engines, no noise, just you, the open sea, and the stunning coastline.This is perfect for travellers who love a bit of adventure and want to get up close to nature – no experience needed, just a reasonable level of fitness. You’ll have experienced pro kayakers guiding the way, teaching you techniques and keeping everything safe and fun. Along the way, you can discover hidden coves, snorkel through reefs teeming with marine life, and enjoy a tasty island lunch!Most tours just ferry you across – this one gets you actively involved in the journey, letting you experience the beauty of the marine park in a more immersive, eco-conscious way. It’s ideal for adventurous travellers, couples, and anyone who prefers a quieter, more unique island experience.What to ExpectStart your day at 8 am with kayaking instruction and a safety briefingPaddle 40 minutes across open water from Tanjung Aru beach to the marine parkArrive at the island and register at the Sabah Park counterSnorkel, swim, and explore the island’s clear waters and marine lifeSavour a sumptuous lunch on the island and soak up the chill island vibesPaddle back to Tanjung Aru beach with an estimated return around 2:30 pmGood to KnowOptional island activities are not included – bring some cash if you’d like to join them.Island stop is usually Mamutik, but it may change due to weather or other conditions.
