Mamutik Island

Pulau Mamutik (Taman Tunku Abdul Rahman)

Ten minutes by boat: the smallest and calmest of the three

Hours
Park 8am–5pm
Tickets
Return boat from RM35 for one island plus RM3 terminal fee; park entry RM25 for foreign adults, once per day, card/QR
Address
A small island in the south of the park, next to Manukan. Boats from the South Jetty behind Jesselton Quay

The closest island to the mainland, about ten minutes by boat. One side is rock, the rest sandy beach, and you can walk round it in no time. There's a restaurant, a kiosk and a dive centre, and the sea-walking and parasailing booths cluster here, so a common plan is to do your activities on Mamutik and then hop to Sapi. It's quieter than Sapi or Manukan, good for a calm half day.
