Oh my gosh, I saw my favorite sea turtles while snorkeling in Semporna.

Girls, Semporna, known as the Maldives of Southeast Asia, did not disappoint me. The crystal clear sea water, you can see the fish swimming around from the shore, it's amazing‼️ Semporna is definitely the best place for snorkeling in Southeast Asia. The fish and corals in the water and the marine environment are all very good. ⬇️ [How to get to Semporna] 1️⃣Fly from major domestic airports to Kota Kinabalu or Kuala Lumpur and then transfer to Tawau Airport (about 55 minutes from Kota Kinabalu to Tawau, about 2 hours and 50 minutes from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau) 2️⃣Take a car to Semporna Town, which takes about 70-90 minutes 3️⃣Go to the pier in Semporna Town and take a boat to the hotel you have booked If you stay in a resort on the island, there is usually a shuttle service to the pier [About Snorkeling] If you can't swim, as long as you are not afraid of water, you can go snorkeling. Snorkeling is also a must-do activity in Semporna. The average temperature is 26°C~33°C, and the best diving season is from March to October. Every resort on the island has daily sea activities and will provide equipment [About Choosing an Island in Semporna] ✅Tingba Tingba Island For snorkelers, this place is a paradise.
