About two hours by road from Kota Kinabalu to the jetty at Kuala Abai in Kota Belud, then about an hour by speedboat to the island.
What to do
Snorkelling, diving, kayaking and fishing.
See coral reefs and reef fish such as clownfish; Sabah Tourism notes good visibility for photography.
The weather here
The boat crosses open sea: check the morning forecast for wind and waves, go early, and expect crossings to be delayed or cancelled when the sea is rough. The last leg is by road, so leave room to get back to Kota Kinabalu the same day.
Good to know
Facilities are basic: a jetty, accommodation and a restaurant. Book the stay and the boat through the operator and confirm what is included.
