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 here. If you are lucky, you can also catch sharks and turtles.

Geographical science popularization

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 destination 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 is no direct flight from China to Douhu Airport. 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 blue-green 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

Select three articles.

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: Pearl Island Mountain Climbing-Manda Island-Warship Island;

② "Ma bu Dao"-Kapalai-Eighteen Dan;

③ Madajing-Bangbang Island;

Dunshakaran Ocean Park

The largest ocean park in Sabah

Goshakkaran 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 in 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. From the top of the mountain, you can see the whole island of Dunshakaran Park, where all the masterpieces of Semporna were shot.

Primitive Ba Yao Folk Houses

Half of Mabu Island is a 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 sought after holiday destination for couples and girlfriends.

Kapalai Shuiwu

When we think of the trestle with bougainvillea in full bloom, we may think of Kapalai Waterhouse, which is as famous as Sibadan.

Kapalai Shuiwu

Each room has its own balcony with a good viewing angle. No matter which angle you turn to face, it is a vast, spectacular and breathtaking seascape.

Kapalai is also a world-famous cliff diving resort. It 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 everywhere.

During the period of 1993, they inquired about diving in influential diving magazines. They all agreed that Sipadan was the best "seaside diving" in the world and ranked first among 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 with a vertical drop of 600 to 700 meters.

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, including snorkeling, deep diving, cliff diving, shipwreck diving and cave diving. Only a few diving places in the world can cover all the above features, and it is a 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 luxury cabins. One island and one hotel are unparalleled enjoyment. Whether it is a pure holiday or diving, the environment is very comfortable. The trailing beach of Madajing is a great beauty of Semporna, which can only be seen at low tide.

Bangbang i.

Minimum property island

Bangbang Island is a typical private island with pure white sand beaches and no villages. It is still in a primitive state and has tropical rain forests, making it one of the most natural and charming islands in Malaysia.

The snorkeling environment in Bangbang Island is very good. There are many corals and schools of fish 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.

Bayo

The purest side

Ba Yao people have lived and multiplied 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. They can dive into the sea about 20 meters without any equipment and fish with harpoon. 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 under 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 dishes, including 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, it is original.

Steamed scallops from Ba Shen, the maiden's family, are tender and unique in sour and spicy taste. Grilled ribs with coffee are delicious. Dongyin Gong Seafood Soup is hot and sour, warming the body and stomach. Steamed bass with green lemon tastes 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, such as Maoshanwang, Longshan, Mangosteen, Rambutan and Mango, which are super delicious. ...

Weston mangrove forest

Fireflies at night are extremely romantic.

The mangroves in Kota Kinabalu are worth a visit. Watching proboscis monkeys during the day is very interesting, and at night, fireflies seem to take you into the fairy tale world. The trees are full of fireflies that twinkle on your shoulders or hair, which can't be described in words. You won't know until you get there.

If friends who stay in Kota Kinabalu can go and have a look, they will leave at noon, have afternoon tea when they arrive in Weston, go in to see the proboscis monkey at 5 o'clock,/kloc-return to the restaurant for dinner at 0/9 o'clock, and then go to see 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 the depth and wonderful customer experience. Many beautiful scenic spots are hidden, and low-cost tours will only take you to places with ordinary scenery.

(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 to protect their secrets, so many people can't see the most beautiful Semporna; If possible, buy a diving suit in advance and don't wear sunscreen.

There are many diving spots near each island. The low-priced group can't afford the most beautiful way to open Semporna. The speedboat can take you to more distant and beautiful islands, while the boat can only wander around the regular scenic spots. So many people only see second-rate and third-rate scenery;

In a word, only by choosing a small customized travel agency can you play Semporna thoroughly.
