The glass sea in Semporna is really beautiful! Fly to Semporna in the cold winter, and you can not only enjoy the summer, but also have an amazing island vacation experience! The prices are also very reasonable. Here are some travel tips for Semporna that I have summarized for you to refer to.
1️⃣ Most of the activities in Semporna require going out to sea. The ultraviolet rays are strong, so remember to protect yourself from the sun.
2️⃣ It is recommended to use a Celcom SIM card in Semporna. You can activate international roaming, and the signal coverage is also very stable.
3️⃣ You can stay in the town or on the island in Semporna. The prices in the town are affordable, but the conditions are not as good. If you have enough budget, you can stay in a water villa or a beach villa, where the environment is good and you can snorkel at any time.
4️⃣ You can't miss the seafood in Semporna. However, when buying seafood, you must remember to bargain, at least half the price.
5️⃣ When shopping in Semporna, go to supermarkets and small shops run by locals, which are much cheaper than those run by Chinese people, but they only accept cash.
6️⃣ Most resorts on the island of Semporna charge per person. Single occupancy requires a room supplement, so it is recommended to travel with two people.
7️⃣ If local children ask you for money or food, don't give it to them, otherwise, a group of children will come to you for it.
8️⃣ Don't eat too much two hours before diving, as it may cause stomach discomfort or even vomiting.
9️⃣ You can snorkel even if you can't swim, as there will be a guide watching you.
🔟 The main activities in Semporna are:
✅ Three island-hopping tours (Mataking-Timba Timba-Pom Pom Island, Mabul Island-Kapalai, Tun Sakaran Marine Park Island Hopping (Pearl Island + Bohey Dulang + Mantabuan Island))
