[Semporna | A Paradise on Earth in a Floating Village]
Semporna, located on the southeast coast of Sabah, Malaysia, is a small town nestled between sea and sky, and the gateway to countless diving destinations. As the boat enters the harbor, a sea of breathtaking blue, dotted with stilt houses and wooden piers, emerges, like a dream floating on the water.
🌊 The Ocean's Ultimate Colors
The waters, bathed in sunlight, create a cascading hue of blue, from emerald in the shallows to sapphire in the depths. World-class diving is available here:
• Mabul Island: Famous for its macro diving, the underwater world is a kaleidoscope.
• Kapalai: The wooden chalet resort built on a sandbar is like a floating wonderland.
• Sipadan: One of the world's top ten diving sites, where turtles, sharks, and schools of fish can be seen right before your eyes.
🏝 Culture and Simple Life
Semporna is also home to the Bajau Laut people, known as the "sea gypsies," who have made the sea their home for generations. Passing by the floating village by boat, I saw children playing in wooden canoes, their laughter echoing across the water. Their pure symbiosis with nature is truly moving.
✨ Travel Tips
• Best Season: Dry season, April–October, when the waters are clear and visibility is high.
• Transportation: Take a domestic flight from Kota Kinabalu to Tawau, then transfer to Semporna.
• Note: Some islands require advance diving/island entry permits, especially Sipadan.
