Coral Flyer Island to Island Zipline, Pulau Sapi, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

***Updated***

Hey hey hey! Guess what?
I just had the most awesome-mess time at the Coral Flyer!
WORLD'S LONGEST AND ALSO THE FIRST ISLAND TO ISLAND ZIPLINE
IN MALAYSIA! ONLY IN KOTA KINABALU,SABAH!

2 week ago, a group of 12 bloggers and 3 friends set out on an island trip to try the Coral Flyer.
We gathered at 9am in the jetty in Jesselton Point and the best part was we managed to
convince the guy at the counter for student price tickets!

***Note that boat ride from Mainland - Pulau Sapi are at own cost.***

Kendy decided to join us for this trip!

We took a boat to Pulau Sapi first cause' that's where you get your tickets for the Coral Flyer.
Weather was really sunny that day and we decided to chill at Pulau Sapi before
trying out the Coral Flyer.

See that guy in yellow.. that's Mr.Simon Amos!
The owner of Ropeskills Sdn Bhd, Sabah Indoor Climbing Centre AND also the Coral Flyer.

Everyone had to fill in the waiver form before getting on the flying fox.
This is a matter of life and death people! Fill up the form and sign it!!

Our tickets!

Each ticket cost RM50 which includes a boat ride from Pulau Sapi to Padang Point,Pulau Gaya.
That's where the Coral Flyer is.

FYI, the Coral Flyer is meant to be the highlight of the day.
It takes roughly 20 minutes for the whole thing so before that, go swim, snorkel, dive, eat
and do whatever you like before that.

We chose a spot where we could see the Coral Flyer!

Look at that view!
If you look closer in the picture, you see the red balls hanging in between the islands?

That's where there zipline is!

It is recommended to go in a group of 4.
This is because the each time you go down the zipline, you will go down in pairs.
So this might take some time before the next group goes on the Coral Flyer!

Here's our boat to take us over to Padang Point!
Our boat is the one with a flat yellow roof!

Our boatmen, Tai and Syn Jaya (the cute guy with the cowboy hat)!

Yong (in green) is the receptionist at the counter in Pulau Sapi.

There will be a sign leading you to the zipline.
(NO its not the monkey sign)

These are the trolleys for the zipline. The thingy you hold on to while going down the zipline.
Looks really cool right!! Oh and really heavy too!

 You will be strapped on to a full body harness before heading up to the platform.

Now here's a little info for you guys about the staffs for the Coral Flyer.
There are a total of 10 staffs in charge of the Coral Flyer.
In case you guys are wondering if they are qualified to be running this zipline..
Yes I can assure you that they are all qualified with Level 1 - 3 ARAA qualifications.
You can read all about it here.

You will be given a helmet to put on too!
For those who has a GoPro, you can bring em' along cause' they have a gropro mount
set up on the helmets for everyone. Yay Coral Flyer!!

Safety first!

You will then be needed to trek up a small trail which leads you all the way up to the 

launching platform. You will be so awed by the view up there! Its just beautiful!

See what I mean!

How long is the zipline?
Well, its approximately 235m long!

The staffs will then get you set up on the zipline, double checking your harness,
helmets and everything else that needs to be checked before letting you off!

AND OFF YOU GO!!!

Make sure to look around while you're on the way down!

Chloe and I paired up for the zipline and we had such an amazing time!
She was filming the view all the way down while I was busy screaming my lungs out.

This is the Zip Stop!
The Zip Stop uses a magnetic braking mechanism.
The Zip Stop cost roughly around USD 5,000.00  which is around RM 17,500.00 each!
OMG!!!

I also heard from Mr.Simon that this whole thing took them less than a year to build 
and everything costs roughly around RM 350,000.00 - RM 500,000.00.
WOW!!

Check out the view from the landing platform.

I love the part where you have to do trekking up and down the trail!
