Which island in Semporna is the most interesting and livable?

If you want to travel to Semporna, the first thing you have to face is the problem of choosing an island. There are about 15 islands in Semporna, but you won't choose to visit so many islands when traveling, so Bian Xiao will tell you how to choose the island, and you can choose according to your hobbies.

Senna is located on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It used to be a small fishing village, but now it is a very famous marine tourism center. To go to Semporna, you need to fly from China to Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu, and then transfer from Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu to Douhu.

: accommodation

1. Hotels in the town: The price is cheap, there are many fresh food shops in Shanghai, and the food is more affordable.

2. Water houses and resorts on outlying islands: These prices are really expensive, but the scenery is very good. There is also a fixed buffet to eat every day. It is very pleasant to watch the sunrise and sunset here.

3. Other options: diving shops, small hotels on outlying islands, etc. Some diving shops can provide college accommodation, but the conditions are average. Some conditions of small hotels on outlying islands are better, while others are worse. But the accommodation is not very good.

Brief introduction of island jumping tour

Well-known islands are Shibadan, Kapalai, Madajing, Mabu Island and so on. But how to get to so many islands is better?

Kapalle Island.

Pale Island is about 45 minutes' boat ride from Semporna. Strictly speaking, it is not an island, but a sandbar between Sipadan Island and Mabu Island. It can be said to be a paradise floating on the water, with a first-class snorkeling field.

Kapalai Resort on the island is also one of the most famous tax collection places in Southeast Asia. Bian Xiao from Semporna is recommended here. Water house is an overhead building built in the sea. When you go to play, you can look down and see sea creatures swimming under your feet.

But remember to book the water house in advance, the price is very expensive. About 1500- 1800 yuan/night, Kapalai is actually very small. Without islands and beaches, it is almost isolated from the world. There seems to be nothing to visit here except snorkeling. More suitable for quiet friends, you can visit the water house and snorkel here.

2. Mabu Island

Mashima is the largest island in Semporna, surrounded by beaches. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Semporno by speedboat. Half of the island is a holiday resort, and the other half is where the indigenous Ba Yao people live. At present, the number of Yao people in Ba is relatively small. Now there are only about 2000 people left. Because she has been living on the water, she is also known as a gypsy at sea. Best of all, they can dive 20 meters directly into the deep sea without any equipment.

Half of the island is a holiday resort, and the other half is where the indigenous Ba Yao people live. The combination of aboriginal life, cultural atmosphere and beautiful coastal scenery forms the unique scenery of Mabu Island. Yao's primitive lifestyle directly deprives children of their right to education, so they have no reason to work in modern society.

There are five resorts on this island, the prices are basically thousands of dollars, so everyone still has to save money to visit.

3. Madkin Island

It takes about 50 minutes from Semporna to Madagin Island by speedboat. Madajing Island consists of Madajing Island and Ma Xiao Dajing Island. There were three transitions at high tide, and the two islands were only half a kilometer apart. However, after the tide receded, the two islands were connected in series by a "sand bridge" and became a very beautiful scenic spot.

The water quality of Madajing Island is the best among the outlying islands in Semporna. You can see that the water is crystal clear, and there are many kinds of marine life underwater. You can often see big turtles here. There is an undersea post office at the bottom of the car well, where you can send beautiful postcards to your family or friends. At present, there are actually only five undersea post offices. Dajing Island has only Caishan Diving Resort and four-star resort, and the decoration has Southeast Asian characteristics.

4. Bangbang Island

This is an island very similar to Maldives. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Xianben by boat. The island is small, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk around the island. There are no villages on the island, only tropical rain forests. The gang has a good surface environment. There are many underwater corals and fish schools here, and sometimes you can see this kind of turtle. There is also a turtle breeding and protection base on the island, where residents can participate in the activities of releasing turtles.

There are three resorts on the island, the largest is Bangbangdao Dragon Ball Resort, and the other two are Bangbangdao White Pearl and Bangbangxibei. The hotel price on Bangbang Island is a little cheaper than other islands, about 1000- 1500 yuan for one night.

5. Sipadan Island

The topography of Sipadan Island is very distinctive. Behind the 5-meter shoal is a deep sea that falls vertically 600-700 meters deep. There are very rich coral reefs and benthos here, and turtles and sharks are very common. Many divers like it here, but in order to protect the environment, the Malaysian government has regulations that only 120 divers are allowed to dive in Sipadan every day. You must have at least OW's junior diving license to apply for Chai Dan diving. Because the underwater situation is complicated, it is recommended that experienced friends go. If you want to go, you have to recruit diving spots in advance to apply for registration. The cost is about 1460- 1650/ person, diving twice a day. If you go there and return there the same day, you can't live on the island.
