What are the fun places in Semporna? Semporna travel guide

Semporna, located on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia, is a county in Tawau Province, Sabah. Semporna was originally just a small fishing village in Malaysia. It can’t even be found on the map. However, it has now developed into a famous underwater world tourism center.

There are many large and small islands in the Semporna waters. The four most popular islands with hotels are Bang Bang Island, Mataking Island, Kapalai Island and Mabul Island. The four styles have their own merits and are suitable for tourists with different hobbies.

Bang Bang Island is a petty bourgeoisie: a typical private island with pure white beaches, beach houses and water houses for you to choose from. There are only two resorts on the island;

Mataking Island is original: it is large in area and has lush vegetation. There are no overwater houses, only cabins with sea views and garden views. It is an excellent choice for experiencing deep diving;

Kapalai The island is romantic: it cannot be said to be an island in the strict sense, it is just a sandbank, and the resort here is composed of cabins built directly on the water. It is a popular honeymoon destination for couples;

Mabul Island is full of human touch; there are currently two water resorts in the waters of Mabul Island. Half of the island is a resort, and the other half is inhabited by the Bajau indigenous people. The life and cultural atmosphere of the original residents and other beautiful coastal scenery combine to form the unique scenery of Semporna. It is also the only island among the four islands with original inhabitants, and the environment is relatively complex!

In addition to the island, a must-see in Semporna is Tun Sakaran Marine Park.

Tun Sakaran has 8 islands, large and small, including Gaya Island, Sleeping Beauty Island, Mandabuan, Mega Island and Warship Island. Except for Warship Island, where troops are stationed, the other three islands have Bayao villages.

In Semporna, you can easily buy fresh fish and game from the fishing boat, and you can also bring it to the hotel to cook it yourself or leave it to the hotel for processing. PULAU BOHEY DULANG is a quiet volcanic island not far from Semporna. This island is also a Japanese pearl culture station. TINGKAYU, not far from Semporna, is a dried-up prehistoric lake. The stone tools excavated here are of great archaeological value. These utensils have very similar textures and techniques to other 10,000-year-old ancient utensils excavated in Southeast Asia.

In Bajau and Malay, Semporna literally means 'perfect'. The town is surrounded by sea water, Benna and its affiliated islands are like a dream island in the real world. Pristine white sand beaches, coconut palms and the calm, beautiful turquoise waters of the Sulawesi Sea gently brush against colorful reefs.
