My Thoughts...
Semporna is not as bad as some online reviews suggest. It offers great value for money, featuring crystal-clear waters comparable to the Maldives 🌊, world-class diving spots 🤿, and delicious seafood 🦞.
🎈Today, I’m recommending two island-hopping day tour routes that are perfect for photography enthusiasts:
【Route 1】Timba-Timba Island - Small Mataking Island
▪️Timba-Timba Island: A relatively small island known for its elongated shape and clear waters.
▪️Mataking Island: Comprising Big Mataking Island and Small Mataking Island, connected by a sandy beach.
◾9:15 Meet at the shop
◾9:30 Depart from the pier
◾10:30 Arrive at Small Mataking Island, enjoy a glass-bottom boat ride, free drone photography (at least 3 photos per person), and snorkeling
◾12:30 Head to Pom Pom Island
◾13:00 Arrive at Pom Pom Island Dragon Pearl Resort, shower and change, have lunch. You can snorkel around Pom Pom Island or relax on swings, lounge chairs, hammocks, etc.
◾15:30 Prepare to return
◾16:30 Arrive back in Semporna
【Route 2】Mabul Island - Kapalai Island
▪️Mabul Island: A diving paradise and home to the Bajau people, famous for macro diving and observing small marine creatures.
▪️Kapalai Island: Technically a sandbar rather than a traditional island, with excellent water quality, ideal for snorkeling and diving.
