My 17 - First Visit to Manukan Island

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.
- John Donne (1572-1631); an English Jacobean poet and preacher.


Manukan Island
Tunku Abdul Rahman Park
Kota Kinabalu


There's a lot of interesting place in Kota Kinabalu that you can visit. Guys - if you love beach, water and sun plus fishes - yes a lot of fishes; do make a day-visit to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. This the only National Water Park near to the city - is really near to Kota Kinabalu citycentre. It's just a boat-ride to the Park.

You can choose either the legal one from Jesselton Point (which a bit cost as you need to pay the tax for departure from the port) or if you know any local, you can take it from the market itself. The later option is not guaranty as a lot of non-locals use it for the Pulau Gaya - Citycentre route.

My first visit was nothing much as we didn't planned it properly. But, I did enjoy the scene and the surrounding. The crystal-clear water where you can actually feed and play with the small-beautiful fishes. What a heaven!

I guess I did change a lot from the first time I'm in Sabah till my departure day. Hehehe
