Kapalai Shuiwu
It has the advantage of diving all year round, and it is located in the downwind of the typhoon, which makes it not affected by the typhoon at sea and creates an excellent environment for diving. There are also many coral reefs and small islands, and if you are lucky, you can catch sharks and turtles.
Popularization of geographical science
Let's talk about its geographical location first.
Malaysia consists of peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. Sabah is Sabah, the second largest state in Malaysia, and the capital of Sabah is Kota Kinabalu (better known as KK). Sabah and Kota Kinabalu can be understood as the relationship between provinces and provincial capitals.
Sabah covers an area of over 70,000 square kilometers and enjoys the reputation of being a land under the wind. It is a holiday resort suitable for year-round travel. Douhu is the third largest city in Sabah. To travel to Semporna, you must land at Douhu Airport, and then take a 70-minute bus to Semporna town.
There is no airport in Semporna, and the nearest airport is Douhu Airport. At present, there are no direct flights to Douhu Airport in China. They all go to Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu first, and then transfer from Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu to Douhu Airport.
Semporna is located on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It is a town below Douhu City, Sabah. At first it was just a small fishing village. Because Semporna is the only place to go to Sipadan Diving Holy Land, it has now developed into a famous marine tourism center.
Semporna town has no special features, but it is surrounded by turquoise sea water. White beaches, towering coconut trees, colorful coral reefs and fish dragging in the middle of the sea always attract tourists from all over the world.

The most experienced tourist route
Three articles were selected.
Choosing an island is a headache. There are many large and small islands in Semporna. According to our experience and the suggestions of local people, we must go and resolutely omit the content that can be deleted. After comprehensive consideration, three most experienced routes were selected:
① Dunshakaran Ocean Park: Climbing on Pearl Island-Manda Island-Warship Island;
② "Ma bu Dao"-Kapalai-Eighteen Dan;
③ Madajing-Bangbangdao;
Dunshakaran Ocean Park
The largest ocean park in Sabah
Guoshakalan Marine Park, also known as Semporna Islands Park, is a marine park consisting of eight small islands and the largest marine park in Sabah.
The park has the largest coral community in Malaysia. As long as you bury your head in the water, you can see countless mysterious and beautiful underwater creatures.
Dunshakaran is a must-see place to Semporna, with beautiful scenery and many islands. Pearl Island can climb to the top of the mountain overlooking the charming sea view of Semporna Islands, but you must wear sports shoes, and slippers are not allowed to climb the mountain locally.
Pearl Island is the only island in Semporna that can climb mountains, with a height of 600 meters. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the whole island of Dunshakaran Park, where Semporna's masterpieces were shot.

Primitive Ba Yao Folk Houses
Half of Mabu Island is a holiday resort, and the other half is inhabited by Ba Yao aborigines. Their life, cultural atmosphere and other beautiful coastal scenery are combined to form a unique landscape.
Mabu Island is as pure as the Garden of Eden, where the stateless Ba Yao people live. ...
Kapalai resort
The most luxurious and romantic water villa
Kapalai is the most familiar holiday resort. It's just a sandbar, and the resort here consists of cabins built directly on the water. This is the most desirable holiday destination for couples and girlfriends.
Kapalai Shuiwu
When we think of the trestle with bougainvillea, we will probably think of Kapalai Waterhouse, which is as famous as Sibadan.
Kapalai Shuiwu
Each room has its own balcony with a good view. No matter which angle you turn to face, it is a vast, spectacular and breathtaking seascape.
Kapalai Shuiwu
Kapalai is also a world-famous cliff diving sanctuary. This is the hometown of tropical fish and a natural diving field. The whole view of diving is covered with fish.
Chai Dan
Diving holy land
Most of the top ten diving spots in the world selected by Lonely Planet are in Mexico or Egypt, and only one is in Asia, and that is Sipadan in Semporna.
Sipadan is a paradise in the eyes of divers, just like Mecca in the eyes of pilgrims. Unusually rich coral reefs and benthic organisms, such as sea wolves, jack fish, sardines, jellyfish, mantis shrimp, giant squid, giant grouper and other strange creatures can be seen.
During the period of 1993, they visited diving in influential diving magazines, and they all agreed that Sipadan is the world's "seaside diving" and the top of the five cliff diving in the world. It is suitable for diving all year round. After passing a 5-meter shoal, there is a deep blue sea that falls vertically 600 to 700 meters deep.
The coral scenery in Sipadan is comparable to the Great Barrier Reef. You must have OW/AOW diving certificate to open this wonderful underwater world. For beginners of diving, it is not recommended to consider this place, which is more difficult. Diving is a sport that takes a long time to experience.
There is a unique diving environment here, such as snorkeling, deep diving, cliff diving, shipwreck diving and cave diving. There are only a few diving places in the world that can cover all the above characteristics and are well-deserved diving paradise.
The water is very shallow, the sun shines on the coral garden under the clear water, and countless small fish of various colors wander around.
Madagin i.
The most primitive island
Madajing Island has the best water quality among all outlying islands. The jelly-colored sea water is crystal clear, and there are many colorful creatures underwater. There is also an underwater post office, where you can send beautiful postcards to your friends. There are only five undersea post offices in the world.
Madajin Island has beach villas and luxurious cabins. One island and one hotel are unparalleled enjoyment, and the environment is very comfortable whether it is pure vacation or diving. The tail beach of the motor well is a great beauty of Semporna, which can only be seen when the tide is low.
Bangbang i.
Minimum attribute island
Bangbang Island is a typical private island, with pure white beaches, no villages and a tropical rain forest. It is one of the most natural and charming islands in Malaysia.
The snorkeling environment in Bangbang Island is excellent. There are many corals and fish schools underwater, and you can also see big turtles. The sea is crystal clear. Even if it is offshore 100 meters, it is still waist deep. Coupled with all kinds of corals and beautiful fish, snorkeling is perfect.
Bayao
The purest side
Ba Yao people have thrived in the ocean for generations and lived the most primitive life. They are considered as the last marine nomads in the world, and now their number is gradually decreasing, so they can feel their real life here.
They have lived in the sea since childhood, and they can dive about 20 meters into the sea without any equipment and fish with harpoons. Perhaps it is the reason of isolation from the world, where children have the purest smiles, and their blood has the natural romantic temperament of vagrants.
Ba Yao people can't live without the sea. Several tall wooden thatched houses are transparent to the dizzying sea water at their feet. Known as the "Gypsies on the Sea", the Ba Yao people live in a fairyland without desire or struggle.

Seafood feast
"Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, nine floors of curry bak Kut teh in Indonesia ..." Every time I hear this song, I want to eat Southeast Asian food, Thai curry shrimp, Malaysian Nyonya food and Vietnamese Phnom Penh powder.
Semporna was originally a small fishing village. When you come here, you must enjoy a seafood dinner. The seafood here is not only fresh, but also cost-effective. Considering the convention, this is original.
Steamed scallops from Ba Shen, the maiden's family, are tender, sour and unique in taste. Grilled ribs with coffee are delicious. Dongyin Gong Seafood Soup is hot and sour, warming the body and stomach. Steamed perch with green lemon is very fresh. Roxburgh curry shrimp, pineapple seafood fried rice, durian cheese scone, coconut pudding, durian ice, beef balls, curry crab ... more delicious food is waiting for you to explore!
There are many kinds of fruits, including Maoshanwang, Longshan, Mangosteen, Rambutan and Mango, all of which are super delicious. ...
Weston mangrove forest
Fireflies at night are extremely romantic.
The mangroves in Kota Kinabalu are worth a visit. It's fun to watch proboscis monkeys during the day, and fireflies seem to take you into the fairy tale world at night. The trees are full of fireflies, flashing and stopping on your shoulders or hair, which can't be described in words. You won't know until you get there.
If you stay in Kota Kinabalu, you can go and have a look, leave at noon, have afternoon tea in Weston, go in to see the proboscis monkey at 5 o'clock, go back to the restaurant for dinner at 19 o'clock, and then go to see the fireflies. This is the most satisfactory arrangement.
Pre-departure instructions
Details are everything.
Sometimes we travel freely because there is no better choice and we spend a lot of money on it, but we still can't play the essence. Traveling with a professional and experienced team can save a lot of time and money.
② Most products of the tourism platform are based on the principles of pricing, cost saving and safe completion, regardless of depth and wonderful customer experience. Many beautiful scenic spots are hidden, and low-cost tours will only take you to scenic places.
(3) Sunscreen is harmful to living corals. The law does not explicitly prohibit the application of sunscreen, but local diving instructors will take tourists to coral reefs that have begun to turn white in order to keep secrets, so many people can't see the most beautiful Semporna; If possible, buy a diving suit in advance and don't wear sunscreen.
(4) There are many diving spots near each island. The low-priced group can't support the most beautiful way to open Semporna. A speedboat can take you to a farther and more beautiful island, and a boat can only wander around the regular scenic spots. So many people only see second-rate and third-rate scenery;
To sum up, only by choosing a small customized travel agency can you play Semporna thoroughly.
