it's the port, where all the boats going to the different islands and Kota Kinabalu have their fairies part. There is a main center worry and buy your tickets for these chores in different kiosk, offering different prizes and stores. It is very crowded and usually it's packed from eight in the morning till three in the afternoon for all the tourist go back from the islands to the city.

Though things can be a little chaotic here, the prices for the island tours are excellent. I went to Manukan and Mamutik for less than HK$90 and it all went well and on time.

Dont use counter 12. No boat after even almost 2 hours wait. Even getting the life jacket n snorkelling mask was chaotic. Everyone else seem to be getting on their designated boat especially foreigners. C12 dont seem to have good running operations. AVOID.

Very poor service, not trustworthy, they don’t tell you the truth. Much time is wasted waiting around for a boat that is 20 -30 minutes late
Please don’t use this company

It’s a confusing place as it is basically like a train station with different companies selling tickets for the same thing. In the end I went with the first company which came up to me which is very unlike me but my quick assessment of the place was that they were all the same.

On reflection I wish I had looked into it a bit more. It is a bit confusing when you are desperate to get that last boat home at 430 but we did get back and I got the impression that they all work as a team if they need to

Paid for ticket at 11am and gave up waiting for a boat at 12.30pm because the operator admitted (after a bit of questioning) that the next boat was not until 1.30pm and the last boat back was at 4. Just hopeless. Got a part refund and went to the pool for a swim instead.

Utilitarian jetty with a hall selling tickets for island tours. We decided to give the island tours a miss based on the reviews of poor water quality, rubbish & poor service quality of boat operators.

We did take a 20min stroll after dinner to catch the sea breeze. We also catch some action from a soccer match in the adjacent indoor sports hall.

this is the place to buy yourself a ticket to any island within kota kinabalu waters or to go to labuan via sea which takes about 3 hours

Before having an island hopping, you've to drop by in Jesselton Point which is the getaway point for island hopping. You can book your ferry tickets to Manukan Island, Sapi Island, Gaya, Mamutik, and Sulug.

Jesselton Point has a lot of souvenir shops and local restaurants to choose from. We had our lunch here before we head to Manukan Island.

You can island hop to these islands: Manukan, Sapi, Mamutik. Gayan, Sapi and Sulug.

The three main islands are Manukan, Mamutik, and Sapi.

You can choose to book one, two, or three islands at a certain price. You can also add water activities like kayaking, snorkeling, sea walking, parasailing, flying fish, jetski, etc.

In our case, we only choose one island, which is Manukan Island, as we have to compressed our itinerary.
