Semporna - Dreamy Ocean Tour

🌅Attractions ❶Kapalai Island: Surrounded by white sandy beaches and clear waters, the water houses are like pearls on the sea. This is a snorkeling paradise. Dive into the water and you will find colorful corals and tropical fish within reach, as if you are in a dreamy underwater kingdom. ❷Mabul Island: Half beach and half water house, the indigenous villages add a touch of culture. The surrounding waters are rich in marine life, and if you're lucky, you can see turtles swimming around. You can also enjoy the stunning sunset on the shore, with the afterglow dyeing the sky and sea orange-red. ❸Tun Sakaran Marine Park: Composed of several islands, the viewing platform on the top of Pearl Island offers a panoramic view of the "mountain, sea, and sky", with emerald waters, steep peaks, and white clouds intertwined; the trailing beach of Bohey Dulang Island is as charming as a ribbon at low tide, and there are also the remains of a World War II shipwreck underwater, exploring the beauty of history and nature. 🏄‍♀️Itinerary Day 1: Arrive at Semporna Town, stroll around the town in the morning to feel the local atmosphere and taste local snacks; in the afternoon, go to Tun Sakaran Marine Park, climb Pearl Island for a panoramic view, then go to Bohey Dulang Island for snorkeling, and return to the town for a seafood feast in the evening. Day 2: Take a boat to Kapalai Island in the morning, enjoy snorkeling all day, swim among the coral reefs, and get close to the sea. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves at night. Day 3: Go to Mabul Island in the morning, visit the village to experience the life of the Bajau people, continue snorkeling or diving around Mabul Island in the afternoon, explore the mysterious underwater caves, and return to the town after watching the sunset to prepare for the return trip. 🍱Local Cuisine 1️⃣Creamy Tiger Prawns: The shrimp meat is plump and chewy, wrapped in a rich creamy sauce, perfectly blending the milky aroma and the fresh sweetness of the shrimp, making every bite a feast for the taste buds. 2️⃣Steamed Grouper: Fresh grouper is steamed to lock in the freshness, the fish is tender, and only needs simple seasoning with green onions and ginger, it melts in your mouth, savoring the original taste of the sea. 3️⃣Coconut Pudding: Rich coconut aroma, smooth pudding, like a bite of the breeze in the coconut grove, the top coconut shreds add a rich texture, sweet but not greasy, a perfect dessert to end the meal. 💡Tips ⑴Book island accommodation and island hopping tours in advance, as accommodation is in high demand during peak tourist season. ⑵Take sun protection and mosquito repellent measures, and bring high SPF sunscreen, jellyfish suits, mosquito repellent spray, etc. ⑶Respect local religious and cultural customs, and pay attention to dress and behavior in religious places such as mosques.
