Pulau Sapi is one of the islands off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. I’ve been to Pulau Manukan so this time I wanted to check out Pulau Sapi.
We were staying at Magellan Sutera Harbor so just a short stroll leads us to the marina where we can catch a boat to the island.
The trip took only 10 minutes due to the high speeds at which the boat was travelling – it costs RM 50 per person and you don’t even need to travel all the way to town…
…one of the perks of staying at Sutera Harbour. This is the view of the resort from the sea.
The boat takes you right to the jetty at Pulau Sapi – there are schools of fishes that you can literally see swimming beneath the crystal clear green waters!
Mmm…tasty! Er, I mean what a beautiful sight!
We slept in so by the time we got to Pulau Sapi, we were FAMISHED. We each ordered two portions of lunch. Heh!
Things we did:
Contemplated whether to cook this monitor lizard in BKT
Watched lovers oblivious to everyone else on the beach – including his exposed intergluteal cleft (known as butt crack in human anatomy terminology)
Laughed at some of the Engrish signs
Chilled by the beach
Pulau Sapi is not as commercialized as Pulau Manukan and although the island is smaller, it is a lot more tranquil – after a huge group of tourists on a conference left anyway. 🙂
i love sutera harbour. i always stay here on hols and for work! 🙂
ciki: Yeah, I love Sutera Harbor too! Fell in love when I first saw it. Where do you stay? Magellan or Pacific? Pacific is more like a business hotel while Magellan is more like a resort! =D
You go to KK often for work? Amazing! 🙂
Ahhh, the wonderful Sabah. Did you go to Pulau Tiga?
Gallivanter: Nope, unfortunately we only had time to go to one island. Pulau Tiga would be fun though – Survivor Island. 😉

Cos when I grow up I want to be a Playboy Playmate. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!
Jerine: Haha! Alright, but then again…you’ve already grown up. 😉
Woots! Love the first pic! Oh yea, all things beautiful 😉
thenomadGourmand: Yup! It’s a very nice place, KK. We should go someday! 🙂
I was at KK early this month! I went for water rafting in Sg Padas and also went Pulau Manukan and Mamutik. I would say KK islands are simply breathtaking- unspoilt, uncommercialized (yet), and not too far away from the city!
Yiling: Awesome! 🙂
I love KK, the beaches are soooo pristine with the green water and all that.
Manukan is a bit commercialized, as is most of the nearer islands. Have to travel a bit further for the unspoilt ones.
I haven’t been to Pulau Mamutik though, not sure what it’s like.
Good to hear you’ve braved the rapids at Sg Padas! 🙂
hey huai bin, i was at pulau sapi the same time as u. but how come i didn;t see u? btw, my friend was in one of ur photos 🙂
viviantiong: EH?????? WHICH ONE??????????
I was there at the same time. Are you in the group of tourists? Er…I mean group of convention people. 🙂
nope, wasn’t with the convention group. i was there with a couple of friends. my friend is the guy standing in the corner of the photo u took of the ‘welcome to pulau sapi’ sign. anyway, u should really go to mamutik. there r more colourful fish n less crowded than sapi.
viviantiong: Interesting! Small world eh? We met with a couple of guys and girls from KL too, which we conveniently used as scapegoats for snorkling (apparently there’s no snorkling after 3 beers) and they totally played along. Haha!
Mamutik sounds interesting! Like a cross between Manukan and Sapi – not commercialized and better underwater fishes!
Thanks for the tip Viv! 🙂
