Malaysia's only underwater post office, where lush palm trees are everywhere

🗓Itinerary: Madakin Island + Bangbang Island + Tingbatinba + Bantannan Island hopping ⏳Play time: 1 day 🌟Highlights: This route is far from the town, the sea water is clear as glass, the water quality is better, in addition to the popular islands, you can also check in the small islands such as Tingbatinba, Bantannan Island, etc. First, Madakin Island Features: One island one hotel, trailing white beach, sea swing, sea church, best water quality island Number of hotels on the island: 1 How to get to the island: Participate in island hopping day tour / stay in island hotel Located 50 minutes by boat from Semporna Pier, it is composed of Big Madakin Island and Small Madakin Island. The two islands are half a kilometer apart. When the tide rises, they are separated by the glass sea; when the tide recedes, the two islands are connected by a white 'sand bridge', revealing a romantic trailing beach, making it a landmark that tourists linger on. ❤Recommended reason: Because it is far from Semporna town, there are no residents on the island, so the waters around Madakin have the best water quality. The jelly-colored sea water is clear to the bottom, the park environment is shaded by green trees, and lush palm trees can be seen everywhere. I believe this pure island will shock you. You can directly jump into the sea to snorkel and watch the fish, or you can row a kayak, a glass boat to play on the sea, and have fun. Under the water of Madakin Island, there is the only underwater post office in Malaysia. You can send exquisite postcards to your family or friends from here. There are only 5 underwater post offices in the world~ Second, Bangbang Island Features: Pure holiday island, no village, sea turtle conservation base Number of hotels on the island: 2 How to get to the island: Participate in island hopping day tour / stay in island hotel Located in the northeast of Semporna town, it is 50 minutes by boat from Semporna Pier. The island is beautiful with white sand and trees, no village, and has not been overdeveloped, so the environment remains in its original state, natural and charming. The original small island, the holiday feeling is super strong. Wherever you go, there are tropical plants and fine white beaches. The hotel area is scattered with comfortable loungers and hammocks on the beach, as well as beach swings, sea piers and other suitable for taking pictures and checking in. ❤Recommended reason: The ecology is invincible! Snorkeling on the shore can see big sea turtles, enjoy dancing with coral grass, chasing with starfish and shrimp. Bangbang Island is popular with children, especially the small sea turtle hatching base on the island, which is loved by children. The whole family is watching the little sea turtles rushing to the sea, which is warm and interesting.
