If you love the sea, you must visit Semporna
Malaysia is visa-free now, and if you enjoy the sea, you must come to Semporna, where you can find the clearest waters in the world. When there's no wind, the ocean is like a mirror. Here, you have the whitest sand beaches, with the blue sea on both sides, walking on the beach is like strolling in paradise. The freshest and cheapest seafood is all here.
🌽 How to get there?
No matter which way you choose, fly directly from within the country, or transfer from Kuala Lumpur, first fly to Tawau Airport in Semporna.
Download the Grab app in advance and take a ride-hailing service to the Semporna Marine Tourism Center.
🍇 Where to stay?
It is recommended to stay near the pier of the Semporna Marine Tourism Center for convenient sea outings.
It is not recommended to stay in overwater villas on the islands. One reason is the expensive price, and unless you are a diving enthusiast, the overwater villas can be quite boring, and there are also safety issues (pirate incidents from a long time ago).
🍒 What to do?
It's very simple. There are many sea day-trip projects on Ctrip, with prices ranging from 160 to 300 RMB per person. Stay for 3 to 4 days, with different activities each day.
Depart from the pier around 9 am, visit the stateless Bajau people, go island hopping, to the beaches, snorkeling, and many other activities, returning to the pier at around 4 to 5 pm in the afternoon.
Recommended attractions: Bajau village, Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Pearl Island, Warship Island, Timba-Timba Island, Mabul Island, Bohey Dulang Island.
🍑 What to eat?
Of course, it's a seafood feast, with nearly a pound per mantis shrimp, eat boldly, it's very cheap.
Shortvacay for beautiful photos and snorkeling to meet 🐢 no worries it won’t bite becoz thier are too cute. the weather is so clear so all the phtos taken beautiful
Timba Timba Island in Semporna is a small island with dense forests and abundant animal resources. There are many wild monkeys living on the island. When you come to the sea, you often see the monkeys swimming in the sea and bathing, which is particularly interesting.
Today is to go to Tingba Tingba Island & Turtle Island. Tingba Tingba Island is a small island, the closest island to Madagascar, facing the west coast of Madagascar. In the morning, the sea level retreated a little, revealing the s-shaped beach belt, as charming as the bride's head veil, you can take pictures on the island. Then the crew took us to snorkel near Turtle Island, and whenever the crew found the turtle, they would pull us to see it. I was excited to see the turtle up close for the first time. The coral garden of Timbalba is very beautiful! Fish are usually in groups, but they will be very afraid of people, so take pictures quickly! There is also a beautiful fish called lionfish in Madgin, but the editor recommends that you do not touch marine life when diving, first, may affect the health of marine life, second they will be toxic, because the more beautiful things may be more toxic. Deep shallow water, with sunglasses suddenly immersed, as if entering an undersea Yili Garden, will not balance the ear pressure, may make the ears hurt, so everyone must learn in advance. Going into the underwater world will find how wonderful and beautiful nature is, and every life has precious meaning. Will you estimate trouble, forget worry, be yourself, and play happily with the fish, will you wonder if the fish have sorrow? They should not have, but will there be joy? Happiness is really a good thing.
The speedboat from Semporna Pier is about 1 hour away, quite far, but it is really beautiful. The Chinese name is Dinba Dingba Island. The area is not large. When you retreat, you will reveal a long trailing beach and a particularly beautiful multi-colored sea. The most amazing thing is that I posted a circle of friends on the island, and the positioning turned out to be the Philippines.
This island is not very big, but it is expensive in the natural ecological environment, the beach is very comfortable, and the tourists have not reached the crowded level, so they will feel very comfortable, especially when the weather is good, it is really blue sea and blue sky.
