Mabu island raiders

I entered on 20 15, please record it yourself!

Let me talk about my total travel time first. My destination this time is "ma bu" or horse stance just look. If you have more time, you can spend two days in Kuala Lumpur. It's on its way anyway.

My itinerary

5.2 1 depart from Wuhan, transfer to Guangzhou, arrive in Kuala Lumpur in the evening, and stay at Kuala Lumpur airport for the night.

5.22 In the morning, Kuala Lumpur flies to Douhu Airport. I am the earliest flight. After arriving at Douhu at 10 in the morning, pick me up and take me directly to the island, and live on the island at night.

5.23-5.24 are all on the island.

5.25 Prepare the afternoon flight from Douhu Island to Kuala Lumpur at noon and stay at Kuala Lumpur Airport at night.

5.26 Kuala Lumpur flies to Shenzhen and Shenzhen flies to Wuhan.

Geographical location:

Mable Island is located in Semporna, Sabah. It is an island between the Philippines and East Malaysia. Mabu Island has about 2000 residents. The sea off "Ma bu" Island is suitable for snorkeling and island leisure, and it is one of the top "snorkeling" places in the world. Surrounded by beaches, the island is located in the northwest corner of 200 hectares of coral reefs. There are a large number of marine microorganisms living in the island waters, and there are many kinds of organisms, including shrimp, eel, goby and so on.

Climate:

tropical rainforest climate

May to 1 1 month is the dry season with relatively little rainfall, and other months are the rainy season.

The annual temperature is 25 degrees lower and 33 degrees higher.

Language:

Malaysian is used locally.

But there is basically no problem in English communication in general.

Currency:

Malaysian currency ringgit

There is no place to exchange Malaysian ringgit in China. I went to China Bank for consultation, but the answer was no, so I went out to play before and left some US dollars to exchange at Kuala Lumpur Airport.

Exchange route:

1 Airport Currency Exchange Point There is a currency exchange counter as soon as you get off the plane at Kuala Lumpur Airport. You can exchange RMB or US dollars directly, but the exchange rate may be similar.

2 airport ATM direct cash withdrawal. There are many ATMs supporting UnionPay at Kuala Lumpur Airport, but the handling fees of each bank are different. Before going, many people said that Huaxia Bank didn't need a handling fee for its first foreign exchange, so you can use it if you have it.

The exchange rate is about 2 yuan RMB 1 Malaysian ringgit.

If you don't spend all your cash before returning home, you can change it into RMB at the airport exchange counter before returning home, but the exchange rate is similar.

Visa:

All-powerful Taobao can handle it.

However, I booked a hotel, including a free visa application.

Just send your passport and two recent photos with a two-inch white background to the intermediary.

Communication:

It is recommended to apply for a card locally. I set up a counter at the airport as soon as I arrived in Kuala Lumpur. It is convenient for me to handle it on the spot. I did it for seven days. 1G flow? An hour's call is more than RM 40, and then I share the traffic of this card with my friends, so we only have one number, which is completely enough. In addition to this, Digi heard that it is also good, you can choose your own luck according to your needs, and you can also meet the situation that you can consult the tariff in Chinese.

Clothing and materials preparation before travel:

Take some summer clothes.

Especially need to prepare.

1 There are no mosquitoes in the water house, so it is not necessary to use mosquito repellent, but it is recommended to bring high-index sunscreen and aloe gel to calm down after sun exposure.

2 sunscreen clothing

Snorkeling equipment is actually rented in the hotel snorkeling center, but I suggest you take it with you. You can buy it directly from Taobao.

4 jellyfish suit: it is recommended to buy a suit for snorkeling every day to prevent underwater creatures from being injured. Most importantly, long-sleeved trousers can prevent sunburn when snorkeling. I just didn't buy it. As a result, snorkeling was sunburned every day, and I was seriously allergic to ultraviolet rays when I came back.

You can bring an underwater camera if you are interested. There are many rentals on Taobao. If you feel troublesome, you can also rent RM 150 in the diving center of the hotel for one day.

You can prepare some common medicines, such as diarrhea and fever, just in case.

Air ticket:

Since there is no direct flight from Wuhan to Kuala Lumpur, people basically need to transfer from Shenzhen, Xiamen or Guangzhou, and some people fly from Hong Kong to Hong Kong.

So the basic route is Wuhan-Guangzhou/Shenzhen-Kuala Lumpur-Douhu.

Malaysia only has Malaysia Airlines and ADB. I still suggest ADB. ADB can book the cheapest price directly in ADB official website, and sometimes it can promote sales substantially.

I use it in China. Where can I book a plane ticket for reference?

The following is my voyage for your reference:

5.2 1 Where was the joint flight ticket from Wuhan to China Southern Airlines Kuala Lumpur booked?

Tianhe Airport 8: 10- Guangzhou Baiyun Airport 9:40- Airport Alternate-Guangzhou Departure 13:05- Kuala Lumpur International Airport 17: 00.

The total fare for flights cz3368 to cz3047 is 1457 RMB.

5.22 AirAsia

Kuala Lumpur International Airport 7:00- Doohu Airport flight AK5744? The total fare includes insurance in 280 yuan RMB.

return trip

5.25 AirAsia

5.26 AirAsia

Transfer to Eastern Airlines.

Shenzhen Baoan Airport 2 1:35- Wuhan 23: 30

The total round-trip fare is 833 yuan.

I didn't buy this coupon. I have a long standby time in Shenzhen, mainly for fear that the plane will be delayed or something, so I will stay more time. In addition, I have a classmate in Shenzhen who wants to gather everyone. If you think the standby time is long, you can adjust it according to the situation.

About Kuala Lumpur International Airport:

Kuala Lumpur International Airport has just opened a new airport. KLIA before KLIA2 is an old airport. Before I went, it was said that there was a small airport in LCCT that was exclusively used by ADB. This small airport is no longer in use. Please pay attention to the new and old airports:

All flights starting with AK, that is, ADB planes, take off and land at KLIA2. When I go, I take China Southern Airlines in KLIA, so if I want to transfer, I must find out whether my flight arrives and takes off at an airport, so as not to get confused at the airport and find my own flight.

If you accidentally land and take off, there are two airports, not far apart. There is a small train connecting the two airports. It takes about five minutes to get there. The fare is RM 4. The purple sign of the airport is very eye-catching. If you can't find it in KLIA to KLIA2, the staff will answer you warmly.

About ADB:

You can search official website of ADB on your computer, or download an ADB APP on your mobile phone. You need to register an account to book and manage your own flights first.

ADB is a cheap flight, so many things have to be charged, unlike domestic flights.

In the process of booking air tickets online, you will meet the needs of choosing seats, ordering food and buying luggage. If you choose, you need to pay extra. I suggest that it is not necessary to choose your own seat. If you don't choose a seat at this step, the system will automatically arrange a seat for you, so I don't think it is necessary to buy it separately.

If you order food, you can choose to order something to eat and drink on the plane very early. You can actually buy something to eat to take away before boarding the plane. If you don't buy anything when booking a plane ticket, you can also buy it directly at the airport if you are thirsty or hungry after boarding the plane.

I need to explain the luggage of ADB.

If you don't buy luggage, ADB can carry 7 kilograms of luggage for free. If the size of the suitcase on the plane is less than 20 inches, if there are two people, the weight can't be added up. Then I called ADB and said that this 7KG includes the weight of the box and the weight of your computer bag or backpack. I struggled for a long time to buy this suitcase. Before I went online, some people said that the investigation was strict. After I went, I saw that many people were with us anyway. No one checked a box of the same size, so I took it on the plane. I guess it depends on luck. My luggage is only 7 kilograms, which looks a little more than 7.6. I'm afraid that if I'm unlucky, I'll have to repair my luggage. First of all, it is expensive to repair my luggage on the spot. Second, I am afraid of delaying boarding time. So I finally bought 15kg. Please refer to. You can make a reservation according to your actual situation.

If you take your luggage to board the plane without buying it, it is suggested that you can check in online first, and then make your boarding pass. ADB can move in within 14 days in advance. You can type it out before you go. In Malaysia, you can board the plane directly with this printed boarding pass. Some places need to check your printed boarding pass at the airport counter. After check-in, you will write the last step of online check-in. You can take a closer look.

In addition, I would like to remind you that if you take ADB, you'd better wear long-sleeved trousers or bring a coat and blanket. The airport is all air-conditioned, especially the Asian Bank plane is very cold. You have to pay for the blanket, so it is recommended to bring your own.

Malai specialty

White coffee and chocolate duty-free shops are not very cheap either. I just bought white coffee and chocolate at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I bought chocolate in burleigh. They are old brands in Malaysia. The main product is tiramisu chocolate. Personally, I think it tastes good. The white coffee in Airport Old Street is more authentic.

Hotel:

I booked a hotel at the airport because I had to stay in Kuala Lumpur for one night and leave early the next morning.

Hotel name Tune hotel klia2

Go straight at klia2 airport and get off the elevator on the left. You will see a small sign indicating the way to the hotel. This hotel has a direct access to the hotel on the mezzanine between the first and second floors of the airport, which is very convenient to walk for a few minutes.

The hotel is also very clean. I booked it on Taobao and Onda, or I can book the address of my online store, which can be cheaper.

Taobao Store: Affordable accommodation in Singapore Hotel, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Southeast Asia? /35ca 77 BD-2ac 3-4858-b69f-59 1ae 163 1c 09？ Sm=da978d (copy this information before opening the new version? Machine Taobao, you can visit this link directly)

I booked a hotel with wifi at a price of 295 RMB per night.

Douhu traffic:

The traffic is relatively simple. If you book a resort hotel on the island of "Ma bu", will it pick you up when you arrive at Douhu Airport? Douhu airport is very small. As soon as you leave the airport, many people will find the hotel staff who will pick you up. Follow him. It takes you about an hour to drive to Semporna Pier, and then it takes about 45 minutes to reach Mabu Island by speedboat. Afterwards, the hotel staff will pick you up.

Hotels on Mabu Island:

There are two better water house hotels on this island, one is SWV(Sipadan water village) and the other is Mabul water bungalow. The former was built earlier, while the latter was newly built, so the latter's facilities are newer, but slightly more expensive.

I chose the SWV four-day and three-night non-diving package with the price of 3880 yuan. People noticed that hotels charge by the head. Even if you live in a room, you are charged per person. This price includes many things. Basically, you don't have to spend any money on the island, including snorkeling once a day, three meals a day, and unlimited snorkeling in the hotel snorkeling center every day. I was doing activities while filming, so I also included the visa fee. Of course, the pick-up mentioned above is quite worthwhile. It's still much cheaper than Dave Ma.

Swv has no air conditioning. Every room has a fan and needs air conditioning. In fact, it is very comfortable to have sea breeze at night. If it's not hot at all, the fan is enough, and there's no need to buy an air conditioner. But I heard that mwv has air conditioning. Swv room is relatively clean, there is no hair dryer and soap, but it is recommended to bring your own.

Fun on the island:

Every day is basically snorkeling and deep diving. I just booked myself a leisure tour route before I went. I watch diving every day, stars at night and sunrise in the morning. There are no more recreational facilities on the island.

Snorkeling:

Every day, the hotel snorkeling center will arrange for you to go snorkeling. We can meet at the center of the island one day in advance. The next day's itinerary will basically arrange for you to snorkel in nearby islands. I have been snorkeling three times. The arrangement is Kapalai Shibadan and Mabu Island.

Deep dive:

Deep diving in Malaysia requires a diving license. If you don't have a license, you can apply for DSD diving experience course, RM 250. People with coaches will teach you and take you into the water.

One of the most beautiful islands here is Sipadan Island. There is a daily quota for the number of people going to the island, so sometimes the island can't be arranged when it is full. If you can go to the diving center one day in advance, you can see your itinerary. You need to pay RM 40 per person to go to the island.

Besides diving, you can also walk on the island. There will be a bonfire barbecue every Saturday night. People from all over the world enjoy it on the beach. You can buy some beer and barbecue. Still very comfortable.

There is a small supermarket in swv, which has necessities and snacks. You can go and see it if you need it.

In addition, it is suggested to get up one day to watch the sunrise and get up around five o'clock, so the scenery is beautiful.

Take a photo at last (P picture is not needed at all).
