Malaysia Semporna Travel Guide Latest Edition

Semporna, Malaysia is a world-famous diving holiday resort. The seawater quality here is extremely good, attracting friends who like to play with water all over the world. Due to the unique and comfortable climate, everything here is particularly eye-catching. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you. 1. expenses

first of all, I would like to present the expenses that netizens are most concerned about. Everyone's situation is different. The following is just my personal situation, for reference only. My principle is not to save or be extravagant, because we are three people, so we may pay for accommodation and dinner, and then calculate the total expenses and pay them separately, so the expenses are only approximate and cannot be accurate.

In addition, we booked the air ticket, accommodation and Mabu Island for three days and two nights two months in advance, so the price will be much cheaper than many people temporarily chose. The accommodation in Semporna and the trip to Mabu Island and Jumping Island were recommended by others by a local Chinese in Semporna. We compared the prices online and found that they were really favorable.

Total cost: about 5, yuan/person

1. Four round-trip air tickets (booked by AirAsia two months in advance): including tax, about 1,6 yuan. Macau is less than 8 yuan to Kuala Lumpur, and Douhu to Kuala Lumpur is about 8 yuan

Other transportation: around 3 yuan (Guangzhou is between Macau and Kuala Lumpur, and Douhu Airport is between Semporna town)

2. Three girls live in a double room (all close friends are crowded and more intimate), one night in Kuala Lumpur, and one-day tour on the warship island of Pearl Island)

Three days and two nights in Mabu Island: about 1,2 (the set meal booked two months in advance, including round-trip boat fare, accommodation and living in a wooden house at sea)

3. Eating and shopping: about 1,4 yuan (breakfast and lunch are simple, and simple) I bought durian, rambutan, mangosteen and other fruits every day, and bought some worthless souvenirs.)

The ticket below is for me to check the round-trip price of AirAsia official website to Macau today, which is more than 8 yuan. If we catch up with the big promotion, 5 to 6 yuan is possible. 2. Route

Guangzhou-Macau-Kuala Lumpur-Douhu-Semporna-Douhu-Kuala Lumpur-Macau-Guangzhou

I started from Guangzhou with my friends, booked an AirAsia ticket from Macau to Kuala Lumpur (see details below), and then transferred from Kuala Lumpur to Douhu (because there is no direct flight to Semporna in China).

Why do you take off from Macau? Because most AirAsia flights from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport to Kuala Lumpur are red-eye flights, while those from Hong Kong and Macau are daytime flights with more favorable prices.

Note 1: If you have a passport and a ticket from Hong Kong and Macao, you can stay in Hong Kong and Macao for seven days without a Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

note 2: China can also fly to Kota Kinabalu for a day or two to watch the most beautiful sunset in the world, and then fly to Douhu from Kota Kinabalu. 3. time

9 days round trip, Guangzhou round trip to Kuala Lumpur for two days, Kuala Lumpur round trip to Douhu Semporna for three days (one day in Kuala Lumpur), so the real time to visit Semporna is only four days, three days and two nights in Mabu Island, one day to visit Pearl Island, Warship Island and three nights in Semporna town (Mabu Island round trip and Pearl Island round trip all stop in Semporna town). 4.

The first day of the trip: Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macau-Kuala Lumpur (by plane at 14: 3 p.m.), staying in Kuala Lumpur

Take the light rail from Guangzhou South to Zhuhai Station in the early morning, and it takes about one hour to get to the Gongbei Port directly. It takes about half an hour to clear the customs, and then take a free bus from the Venetian Casino at the port to the casino. After storing your luggage at the front desk, you can visit the Venetian Casino for one hour.

This is my second visit to Macau. I remember I was shocked when I first saw Venice. Just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, I have never seen such a magnificent building. There are artificial rivers and artificial blue sky in the mall, so I can take a boat trip to the mall.

After visiting the casino, take the free bus from the casino to Macau Airport. After arriving in Kuala Lumpur, I bought a DIGI calling card at the airport, took Malaysian ringgit (it's better to take more, there are too many people in Semporna who have to queue up every time), and stayed in a hotel booked in advance, which is generally not recommended here.

Remarks: There are buses from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Zhuhai Station from 6: 3 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., which leave every 4 minutes, with second-class seats in 7 yuan and first-class seats in 9 yuan; There is also a direct bus from Guanzha, Macau to Macau Airport, which seems to be tens of yuan, but I forgot.

the next day: a one-day tour in Kuala Lumpur

I toured the downtown area of Kuala Lumpur and went to the National Mosque, Independence Square, the Twin Towers and other places. Because it was the plane in the early hours of the next morning, I wandered around the airport after dinner that night and didn't book hotel accommodation.

the third day: Kuala Lumpur-Douhu-Semporna, staying at the New Pacific Hotel in Semporna

In the early morning, Kuala Lumpur Airport flew to Douhu Airport, and the airport came out to carpool to Semporna Town (there are many cars near the airport, and it will be full in a minute), which takes about an hour. Stay in the New Pacific Hotel, the room is near the sea, with a balcony, and the environment is good.

In the afternoon, I visited Semporna Town, which is very small and can be measured with my feet. Most tourists use it as a transit station, and go to mosques, water cabins and fruit markets to buy fruits.

In the evening, I went to Fat Mom's, a Chinese restaurant recommended by many raiders. Both seafood and vegetables are really delicious and the price is not expensive, so I recommend them here.

Day 4: Semporna-Mabu Island, living in a wooden house on the water (including food and shelter)

Mabu Island is one of many islands in Semporna, where the local indigenous Bayao people live. They are called "Gypsies on the Sea", and they are marine nomads who make the sea their home. It is said that they are all masters of free diving, and they can dive to a sea area of more than ten meters or even 3 meters or deeper with their bare hands.

after going to the island, there is a special person to receive it, telling us where the restaurant is, and there are three free snorkeling times a day (once in Kapalai, once in Mabu Island and once in random), as well as some precautions and so on. I can't help walking around after I put down my luggage in my room. The wooden house at sea is so beautiful, like a place where elves live, like a dream. I went snorkeling in the afternoon. The buffet that everyone ate in the restaurant at noon and evening was just so-so.

the fifth day: Mabu Island

snorkeling again in the morning and afternoon, and the rest of the time lying in front of the lounge chair was in a daze. From time to time, boats shuttled under the wooden house, sometimes several children, the youngest looked like a toddler, and sometimes several big ones were selling seafood. We bought some shrimps and crabs for the restaurant to process, which was very cheap, but unfortunately the restaurant's processing taste was average.

Take a walk on the beach and watch the sunset in the evening.

Day 6: Mabu Island-Semporna, living in the New Pacific

I didn't want to snorkel in the morning, and walked along the beach again. I went back to Xianbenna at noon, still went to Fat Mom's house to eat seafood, and had a rest in the afternoon. In the evening, I bought seafood myself and went to Tianwang Seafood Restaurant for processing and ordered several dishes. It seems to be a Chinese restaurant, and the taste is ok, but I personally prefer Fat Mom's house.

Day 7: One-day trip to Pearl Island and Warship Island, staying in the New Pacific

Today's trip is to Pearl Island and Warship Island, and tourists can't live in these two islands, so they can only go back and forth on the same day. Each island includes a snorkeling trip, but we may have snorkeling in Mabu Island, and we are not interested.

Pearl Island is said to be a volcanic island and a Japanese pearl culture station. You must climb to the top of the mountain. Although you are half tired, it is really beautiful. It was cloudy when we went to Warship Island, so the sea didn't look as beautiful as Pearl Island, but it is said that sunny days are also very beautiful.

Day 8: Semporna-Douhu-Kuala Lumpur-Macau-Zhuhai, living in Zhuhai

I spent most of this day on the bus, airport and plane. Why not live in Macau? Because the accommodation is expensive, it is better to live in Zhuhai. Besides, I have been to Macau before, and this time it is just a transit.

Day 9: Zhuhai-Guangzhou

I visited Jingshan Park and Lovers Road in Zhuhai in the morning. After lunch, I took the light rail back to Guangzhou. 5. About changing money and calling cards

1. We took the Malaysian ringgit directly at Kuala Lumpur Airport, and the transportation and accommodation expenses for most of it have been paid before, so it is mainly used for some expenses such as eating, shopping and local transportation. Reminder: At the ATM in Semporna town, many locals and tourists queue up to withdraw money every day, sometimes for an hour, and all the money is taken out, so it is suggested to take more spare money in Kuala Lumpur.

2. Calling card We bought the seven-day calling card of DIGI directly at Kuala Lumpur Airport, which contains nearly 1G of traffic in 5 yuan. Because we don't make phone calls at ordinary times, we also have WIFI in our hotel, so the traffic is enough for us. 6. Precautions

1. If you want to have a favorable price, it is suggested that you must book air tickets and accommodation in advance, preferably two or three months in advance. The water cabin we booked in Mabu Island more than two months in advance is almost half cheaper than a couple who booked it temporarily in the next room on the island.

2. Pay attention to sun protection. Sunglasses and hats are necessary. It is recommended to buy high-degree sunscreen. You can buy it in Malaysia. Their local sunscreen index is extremely high.

3. Some netizens asked if I could go if I didn't know English. Although there are many Chinese in Malaysia and some Malays can speak some Chinese, I still suggest that it is better to communicate in English. You can download the translation APP on your mobile phone.

4. Regarding dressing, it is suggested that girls can wear a long white dress, which is very beautiful for taking pictures. And don't forget to bring a beautiful bathing suit. You should take pictures when snorkeling.

5. It's best to bring water gopro or underwater camera. You can shoot the underwater world when snorkeling. It's very beautiful. 7. About safety

Because pirates hijacked tourists in Semporna before, many friends may be worried about safety. It can only be said that it depends on everyone's situation. For me, I think the probability of such an incident is much lower than that of a car accident and a plane crash, and I still dare to fly by car, so it is not a problem for me, but I don't encourage everyone to measure it by themselves like me. 8. Final summary

Everyone's situation is different, and their consumption level is different. 5, yuan is only my personal expense. Maybe some people still feel that they can't eat and live well after spending 1 to 2 thousand yuan on a trip, so the above strategies are for reference only.

In addition, if I live in Kapalai or go to Sipadan, the cost will be higher. As for which island is better, I can't evaluate it, because I only went to Mabu Island, Pearl Island and Warship Island. I can only say that I am very satisfied with my trip to Semporna.
