Speedboat from Kota Kinabalu - Fares are different according to the
island you want to visit
Time taken is 20 to 40 minutes.
● The National park is two-thirds underwater, so naturally most of the
charm is from the underwater activities and make sure to try them out.
● There are many choices for accommodations in the park, from
luxurious resorts to budget camping options, so choose your pick.
● The boat rides transporting you to and from the islands have a fixed
time schedule, so make sure to plan accordingly. Missing the last boat
out at 4:30 p.m. would mean either staying the night or getting a
private transport off the island, which will be much more expensive
than your usual tickets.
● Sunblock and insect repellent is a must for island-hopping.
● Avoid visiting during the winter months as the seas are turbulent
and unsafe to traverse.
● If you are visiting one of the smaller islands, make sure to carry
water and snacks as they are not heavily populated with vendors.
● Some of the resorts around the city offer good packages on the
National Park so make sure to check with your hotel.
