Manukan Island Resort, operated by Sutera Sanctuary Lodges, is located on the island of Manukan in Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Access is from the jetty at Jesselton Point ferry terminal (formerly Sabah Port Authority) in downtown Kota Kinabalu.

Snorkeling activitys is a must when visiting Manukan Island




Under the jetty



Manukan is highly recommended for snorkeling, as the island is blessed with plenty of marine life.Manukan’s seawater is definitely not as clear but its shore is more appealing because there are no dead corals washed up on the beach – good for your feet.

Land of Borneo Kundasang

Welcome to Sabah.. Sabah located at the Northeast corner of Borneo.
Sabah was known as "Land below the wind" because it lies below the typhoon belt.
Sabah's terrain is rugged, with Mt. Kinabalu, at 4,101 metres, dominating the surrounding landscape. It has a wide diversity of flora and fauna, as well as one of the world's largest rainforests. Sabah's people comprise 31 different indigenous groups, including the Kadazans, Muruts, Bajaus, Kedayans, Sulu, Bisaya, Rumanau, Minokok, and Rungus.
