Semporna is not a bustling place; it's a small island town. Therefore, after we arrived, we joined a group for a day trip at sea. The route was 'Mabul Island + Kapalai Island'. 📍Mabul Island There is a water bungalow resort on Mabul Island, which is great for taking photos. The resort is laid out in an 'L' shape. After landing on the island, first walk to the end of one side, then walk back to the restaurant on the other side to eat, saving steps; if you encounter Bajau children asking for money, please do not give it directly, you can buy their coconuts 🥥5 MYR each. 🎫50RM/person ⏰The boat departs from the pier every 45min. ⭐Dress in layers: Wear nice clothes for taking beautiful photos, and bring a set of swimwear. After lunch on the island, change in the resort's restroom, then take a short boat ride to a nearby island for snorkeling. 📍Kapalai Island This resort is only open to guests staying on the island, but the underwater scenery is beautiful, so you can snorkel directly without going on the island. ⭐Recommended to bring: 1) Sunscreen, sunglasses, rain gear 2) Water, snacks, a small amount of 💰 3) Camera equipment and waterproof bags for the equipment 4) If you get seasick or carsick, take 💊 after breakfast 5) Plastic bags/waterproof bags (to prevent items from getting wet) tip: No need to carry identification documents. If all goes well, you'll return to the pier around 16:00-16:30 in the afternoon, go back to the hotel to shower and change clothes, and check in at a seafood restaurant. 🛶Bajau The blue-skinned reef people in 'Avatar 2: The Way of Water' are modeled after the Bajau. They have no nationality and live their entire lives at sea. They are also known as 'sea gypsies' and are considered the last sea-nomadic tribe. Therefore, most of them can only live by the sea, making a living from fishing. The Bajau typically have many children in their families. As soon as they can row a boat, they start selling things to earn money, such as coconuts and seafood they catch themselves. When we went to the water bungalows on Mabul Island, there were many Bajau children paddling boats around to sell coconuts. They would say in Chinese: '5 yuan each, 5 yuan each'.

If you want to go to Semporna, it's important to plan well and avoid pitfalls as the correct approach. When is the best time to travel? The average temperature in Semporna is around 29°C, with low rainfall. It generally cools down at night, and the temperature difference throughout the year is quite steady without significant fluctuations or distinct seasonal changes. Therefore, the best time to travel to Semporna is from February to October. November to January of the following year is the rainy season. The rain usually comes in showers and stops after a while. This period is not very suitable for diving as the underwater visibility is not high, but it does not greatly affect tourism. What diving activities are available? Snorkeling: Available near the offshore resort islands and on day trips. Scuba diving: Experience deep diving, OW certified deep diving, AOW certified deep diving. How to choose between water chalets and sand chalets? There are many water chalets in Semporna, and it's essential to understand them clearly.

Mabul Island's SWV, SMART, Bong Bong Island's Dragon Ball, White Pearl, Arcadia, etc. Budget water chalets, such as Dayang, Lotte, Crystal, Coral Sea, Shunshun, Dayang, Lotte, etc. Alternatively, stay in town and participate in island hopping, sea fishing, Lover's Bay day trips, etc. Travel Tips 1. Malaysian phone card celcom, wireless is generally poor on some islands. 2. British standard plug adapters. 3. Tourists themselves: Do not touch marine life casually, do not climb trees, do not perform dangerous actions at sea, and follow the resort's guidance. If you encounter the indigenous Bajau people, pretend not to see them and do not give them any alms to avoid a crowd scrambling. 4. It is not recommended to stay in remote lodgings.

One of the most beautiful seascapes in my mind is Mabul Island in Malaysia. Before our trip, there was a kidnapping incident, but since we had already planned our itinerary early on, we decided to proceed as scheduled. Mabul Island is located in East Malaysia. Due to some territorial disputes with the Philippines, there have been incidents of tourists being kidnapped. The Bajau people here are known as the sea gypsies; they have no nationality and live on the sea. As you can see in the picture, the entire sea area here is crystal clear. Our daily activities included snorkeling or diving once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and in the evening, the locals would sing while we danced. The wooden cabins provided three meals a day. The meals were pretty much the same every day, mainly fried big fish, which was quite dry. The first time I ate it, I thought it was delicious, but after a few meals, it became quite tiresome. Fortunately, the locals would sell lobsters, each costing less than 200 HKD. After purchasing them, you could ask the cabin staff to cook them for you. Whether the marine life in this area is the best is subjective, but it is probably the place where I have seen the most sea turtles. You can basically see them around the wooden cabins at night.
