    The smallest island feels like playing with the general and the other island. I think it is generally the best, or Mamoody Island. It is clearer and you can see a little more beautiful fish.

    Tun Sakaran Marine Park, also known as Semporna Islands Park, is located in the offshore waters east of Sabah. It is a marine park consisting of 8 small islands and is the largest marine park in Sabah. Although it is not as famous as other marine parks in Malaysia, the rich underwater biological system here should not be underestimated. The park has the largest coral reef in Malaysia. As long as you bury your head in the water, you can see countless mysterious and beautiful underwater creatures.

    The name is quite dreamy! There are not many tourists, most of them will choose some popular islands, making this place the first choice for in-depth tours and tourists who like quietness. The sea is relatively clear and clean, and it is a very comfortable place! Relax ~
