Today i want to share about a island in Sabah. Pulau Manukan or Manukan Island in Sabah is one of the most visited island in entire state. Also known as Pulau Manukan in Malay this island resort attracts hundred of island hoppers or beach goers daily. Manukan Island is also part of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park (TAR park) which consist of four other island, Gaya , Mamutik, Sapi and Sulug island.

                               

Manukan Island is the best and beautiful place at Sabah. You can fill your free time to visit Manukan Island. So, come and visit this island with your family and enjoy your time with the loved ones ! :)

  The beaches on the eastern tip here is considered one of the best. However, the south coast where all people go is the most popular. The island also has several hiking trails. Overall, if you like snorkeling, then Manukan Island is one place you should visit for a day trip.
    So I'm with my friends trying to get through the trails with my two brothers are known as' abang rangers'. some people may not be aware of the existence of this strange bird. by telling people here, this chubby birds sound like cats. With curiosity, I tried to find the bird but the unfortunate luck because we did not find that funny bird.

          I came the across a chair displaying some old World War Two Bomb shells all arranged nicely but looking really dated with the rust. The paved walkway apparently is about 1.5km long which takes you all the way to lookout point at the other end of Pulau Manukan.

This conservation fee goes to maintain of the Marine Park around the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park. For foreigners, the price is RM10.00 per person.
