Kapalai Waterhouse

It has the advantages of diving all year round, and it is located in the downwind of typhoon, which makes it free from 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.

Popular science of geography

Let's talk about its geographical location first

Malaysia is composed of Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. Sabah is Sabah, which is the second largest state in Malaysia, and the capital of Sabah is Kota Kinabalu (more widely known as KK). Sabah and Kota Kinabalu can be understood as the relationship between the province and the provincial capital.

Sabah covers an area of more than 7, square kilometers and enjoys the reputation of land below the wind. It is a holiday destination suitable for year-round tourism. Tawau is the third largest city in Sabah. To travel to Semporna, you must land at Douhu Airport, and then take a 7-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, and all of them leave for Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu first, and then transfer from Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu to Douhu Airport.

semporna, located on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia, is a town below Douhu City, Sabah. Originally it was just a small fishing village. Because semporna is the only place to go to the diving holy land of Sipadan, 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 tour route

Three selected

Choosing an island is a headache. There are many large and small islands in Semporna. Based on our experience and the suggestions of local people, we must go and resolutely omit what can be removed. After comprehensive consideration, three most experienced routes were selected:

① Dunshakalan Ocean Park: Pearl Island Climbing-Manda Island-Warship Island;

② Mabu Island-Kapalai-Sipadan;

③ Madajing-Bangbang Island;

Dun Shakalan Marine Park

The largest marine park in Sabah

Guo Shakalan 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 colony 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 trip to Semporna, with beautiful scenery and many islands. Pearl Island can climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the charming seascape 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 6 meters. The whole island of Dunshakaran Park can be seen from the top of the mountain, and all the representative works of Semporna were shot here.

Pearl Island

The exquisite milky blue water of Manda Island is intoxicating ...

There are large areas of different shapes growing on the seabed of Warship Island. Colorful corals ...

Warship Island

Mabu Island

Primitive Bayao People's Residence

Half of Mabu Island is a resort, and the other half is inhabited by Bayao people. The life and cultural atmosphere of the aborigines are combined with other beautiful coastal scenery to form a unique scenery.

Mabu Island is as pure as the Garden of Eden, where the Ba Yao people who have no nationality live ...

Kapalai Resort

The most luxurious and romantic water house villa

Kapalai is the most familiar resort, which is just a sandbar, and the resort here is composed of wooden houses built directly on the water, which is the most sought after holiday destination for couples and girlfriends.

Kapalai Waterhouse

When we think of the trestle with bougainvillea, we will probably think of Kapalai Waterhouse, which is as famous as Sipadan.

Kapalai Waterhouse

Each room has an independent viewing balcony, which has a good viewing angle. No matter what angle you turn to face, it is a vast, spectacular and breathtaking sea view.

Kapalai Waterhouse

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.

Sipadan

Diving Holy Land

Most of the top ten diving places in the world selected by Lonely Planet are in Mexico or Egypt, and only one is in Asia, that is, Sipadan in Semporna.

Sipadan is a paradise for divers, just like Mecca for pilgrims. Unusually rich coral reefs and benthic creatures, such as sea wolves, jack fish, sardines, jellyfish, mantis shrimp, giant squid, giant grouper and other strange creatures can be seen.

In 1993, they were interviewed by influential diving magazines, and they all agreed that Sipadan was the world's most "seaside diving" and also the first among the five cliff diving in the world. It is suitable for diving all year round. After a 5-meter shoal, there is a deep blue sea that falls vertically 6 to 7 meters deep.

Sipadan has coral scenery comparable to the Great Barrier Reef. You must have OW/AOW diving certificate to unlock this wonderful underwater world. For beginners of diving, it is not recommended to consider this place, which is quite difficult. Diving is a long experience sport.

There is a unique diving environment, which can be used for 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.

In shallow water, the sun shines on the coral garden under the clear water, and countless small fish of various colors wander around.

Madajing Island

The most original island

Madajing Island has the best water quality among all the outlying islands. The jelly-colored seawater is crystal clear and there are many colorful creatures underwater. There is also an undersea post office hidden under the water, from which you can send beautiful postcards to your friends. There are only five undersea post offices in the world.

Madajing Island has beach villas and luxury cabins, and one island and one hotel are unparalleled enjoyment, whether it is pure vacation or diving, and the environment is very comfortable. The trailing beach in Madajing is a great beauty of Semporna, which can only be seen when the tide ebbs.

bangbang island

the smallest property island

bangbang island is a typical private island, with pure white sand beaches, no villages on the island, and it is still in its original state, with tropical rain forests, making it 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 water is crystal clear, even if it is 1 meters offshore, it is still waist deep. Coupled with various corals and beautiful fish schools, snorkeling is perfect.

The most innocent side of the Ba Yao people

The Ba Yao people have lived and multiplied in the ocean for generations, leading the most primitive life. They are considered as the last marine nomadic people in the world, and now their numbers are gradually decreasing, so they can feel their most real life here.

They have lived in the sea since childhood, and they can dive into the sea about 2 meters without any equipment and use harpoon to fish. 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. A few tall houses made of wood and thatch are transparent to the dizzy sea water at the foot of the house. The Ba Yao people, known as the "sea gypsies", live in a fairyland with no desire or struggle.

Gourmet

Seafood Feast

"Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Nine-story Tower of Curry Bak Kut Tea Indonesia ..." Every time I hear this song, I want to eat Southeast Asian dishes, including Thai curry shrimp, Malaysian Nyonya dishes and Vietnamese Phnom Penh powder.

Semporna was originally a small fishing village. You must enjoy a seafood feast when you come here. The seafood here is not only fresh, but also very cost-effective. Considering the practice, it is original.

Steamed scallops in Nyonya Shenba are tender and unique in taste, sour and spicy, and the ribs baked in coffee are delicious. Seafood soup in Dongyin Gong is hot and sour, which warms the body and stomach. Steamed bass with green lemon is fresh in taste. Shrimp Rorschach curry, fried rice with pineapple seafood, durian cheese scones, coconut pudding, durian ice, beef balls, curry crabs ... More delicious food is waiting for you to explore!

There are many kinds of fruits, such as Maoshanwang, Longshan, Mangosteen, Rambutan and Mango ...

Weston Mangroves

Fireflies at night are extremely romantic

The Weston Mangroves in Kota Kinabalu are worth visiting, and it's fun to watch the proboscis monkeys during the day. At night, fireflies seem to take you into the fairy tale world. 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 are 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, return to the restaurant for dinner at 19 o'clock, and then go to see the fireflies. This is the most satisfactory arrangement.

notes before departure

details determine everything

① sometimes we go free because there is no better choice, and a lot of free travel money is spent, and 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 principle of price-fixing, cost-saving and safe completion, regardless of depth and wonderful customer experience. Many beautiful scenic spots are hidden away, and low-priced 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 whiten in order to protect the secret, 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, and the low-cost group is the most beautiful way to open Semporna. The speedboat can take you to a more beautiful island, and the boat can only wander around the regular scenic spots. Therefore, many people only see second-rate and third-rate scenery;

to sum up, only by choosing a travel service agency that is customized by a small number of people can you play Semporna thoroughly.
