[2024 Semporna Stay] Travel Guide for Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort (Updated Nov)

Tawau Semporna-Kapalai Island Travel Guide

Tawau Semporna Kapalai is a popular tourist destination in Sabah, Malaysia, especially for diving enthusiasts and couples seeking a romantic getaway. How to get there: From China, you usually need to fly to Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu first, and then transfer to Tawau Airport. From Tawau Airport, you can take the resort shuttle to Semporna Pier, and then take a speedboat to Kapalai Island, which takes about 45 minutes. 🏨Accommodation recommendations: The overwater bungalows on Kapalai Island are a major feature, offering all-inclusive services, including three meals and afternoon tea. 💤The overwater bungalows are built directly on the water, offering excellent sea views and diving experiences. The water here is clear, with abundant coral and marine life, and you may even see turtles. 🦞Gourmet experience: The island's restaurant offers a rich buffet, including a variety of seafood, fruits, etc., to meet the taste needs of different tourists.

Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort

#resorts #100waysoftravel Kapalai is located approximately 45 mins to 1 hour from Semporna town, via a speed boat. It provides a 360° breathtaking ocean view. We were amazed by the unpolluted turquoise sea water upon arrival. The water is clean and see-through to the sea bed. Sea turtles were abundantly spotted around the resort. We were told by one of the buggy drivers that Kapalai has its own man-made beach to encourage the sea turtles to lay eggs. To date, Kapalai has managed to release more than 100 sea turtles into the ocean. Sipadan is famous for its Green and Hawksbill sea turtles. While snorkelling, we spotted not only sea turtles but barracuda, colourful coral reefs, stingrays, starfishes, squids, to name a few. The snorkelling gear can be rented for RM23/day. The famous clear kayak boat can also be rented for RM50/hour. This is especially famous amongst the ladies. The staff of Kapalai are more than helpful to help you take the best photos of you riding on the kayak. "Harley-Davidson" could be rented in the resort for RM50/day. Don't get me wrong, it is however not the real Harley-Davidson, mind the pun. The staff refers the pastel rattan coloured bicycle as Harley-Davidson. The bicycle complements the beautiful resort. Aplenty of photos could be taken with you riding on it too.

Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort: A Perfect Guide to a Dreamy Wonderland

Sipadan, that dreamlike marine world, and Kapalai Dive Resort is its shining pearl. 🚗 Transportation: Located in East Malaysia, visitors can arrive at Tawau Airport from various places, then charter a car from Tawau Airport to the exclusive jetty in Sipadan town (you can choose the speedboat schedule according to your arrival time, address) for about a 45-minute speedboat ride. Tips: Those who get seasick can sit at the stern of the boat. 🚢 Arriving at Kapalai: Upon arrival at Kapalai, you will be greeted with a welcome drink (very delicious!). The staff will let guests rest in the restaurant for a while, then they will come to check you in personally. Rooms are generally assigned in advance (tips: if you are not satisfied with the assigned room number, you can try to ask the staff for a change. We told the staff we were on our honeymoon, and we were lucky to get the room with the best view, number 61!). If you arrive on the island in the morning, you can usually check into your room after dining, around one or two o'clock. During this free time, you can stroll around the island, take photos, and enjoy the beautiful scenery! ⚠️ Rooms 1-50 are generally close to the restaurant, with a less open view and older facilities, but the advantage is being close to the restaurant and having good signal reception. Rooms 50-70 are newly built, with a broad view, beautiful scenery, and more modern facilities, but the signal is not very good, and it's more troublesome to call for a car. Rooms 70-90 are closer to the artificial beach and are the furthest from the restaurant. The rooms are also very new, and you can see the trailing sand beach after the tide goes out. 🌊 The dining environment is very good, with a first-line jellyfish sea view, and the food is average. It is served in a buffet style, and there are some paid drinks and ice cream available! 🤿 As for snorkeling, snorkeling equipment needs to be rented for a fee. Snorkeling in the Kapalai lagoon is great, with many fish and beautiful corals, and we were lucky to see Nemo! (We didn't experience diving) 🌄 In the evening, you can also go to the artificial beach to watch the sunset, which is very beautiful. Personally, I think it compares well with the sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu! Overall, Kapalai's jellyfish sea is very beautiful. The first time you see it, you will be shocked by such a beautiful sea. Compared to other resorts, it has better facilities and strong security. If your budget allows, definitely go for Kapalai.

Semporna, Malaysia | Go to a warm place to see the sea

After a busy year and the arrival of winter, do you also want to find a warm place facing the sea, where spring is in full bloom? Consider going to the fairy-like Semporna!

A low-key tourist destination! Semporna

Located in a county of Tawau City, Sabah, Malaysia, Semporna is an underestimated resort. Once just a small fishing village that couldn't be found on the map, it has now developed into a world-famous underwater tourism center. Semporna has nearly twenty islands of different sizes, including the overwater bungalow Kapalai Island known in Southeast Asia, the one-island-one-hotel Mabul, the home of the sea gypsies Mabul Island, the hometown of sea fish Bum Bum Island, and the Tun Sakaran where you can overlook the panorama of Semporna. Each island has its unique features. Here are some recommended islands: Bum Bum Island: This is a typical private island with pure white beaches and a variety of beach houses and overwater bungalows to choose from. There are two resorts on the island. Mataking Island: This island is larger in area, lush in vegetation, without overwater bungalows, only sea view and garden view cottages, very suitable for experiencing deep diving. Kapalai Island: Strictly speaking, this is not an island, but a sandbar. The resorts on the island are all small wooden houses built on the water, which are popular honeymoon destinations for couples. In addition, Tun Sakaran also has a marine park with eight islands of different sizes, including Gaya Island, Sleeping Beauty Island, Mandabuan and Meiga Island. Except for the military island where troops are stationed, the other three islands all have Bajau villages.

Local Trip after Pandemic - Semporna

#celebratewithtrip After the long pandemic, finally travelling is back! First choice for a local family trip, would be Semporna, Sabah! Of course, heard its beauty long time ago but haven’t got chance to pay a visit. We booked the transportation to hotel by ourselves, the main reason is to save cost, this way save us about RM400/person! For transportation, we found in FB, and the water chalet - Kapalai Resort we booked directly from the Resort as well. Back in May, they are offering one night stay but now at least 2 nights stay - included transportation from Tawau Airport to Semporna which we booked earlier on doesn’t. For island hopping, you can actually book from tourism centre at Semporna town, they are offering few packages and negotiate. Hotels in town are mostly 3 stars hotel, the reason could be most of the travellers came for island hopping, will not stay in the hotel for day time and there are plenty of water chalet available. Most convenient hotel would be those next to the pier. Foods wise, mostly are halal food restaurants even it’s Chinese restaurants. Seafood are cheap and the taste it above average. Kapalai Resort offered their own boat to their resort, which located next to tourism centre pier. It take about 30-40 minutes from town to Kapalai Resort. Along the way, just enjoy the clear sea water view. Once you reached the resort, believe me, this is the best view EVER! You are actually inside a transparent glass bottle, this is what I felt. They provide buffets for 4 meals a day including tea time! And main course are served with quality seafood. Large rooms with balcony and unlimited sea view, perfect! Security wise, there are armies around the resort, so I would say it is safe. Must in your travel buckets list!#spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #awesomepic #semporna #kapalairesort #sabah

Top Notch Dive Resort in Sabah

We have been to Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort a few times but this is the first time we are there as divers. It is suggested to stay at least 3 nights so you get a 1 night guaranteed Sipadan diving trip. Feel free to stay more than 5 nights to get a guaranteed 2 days Sipadan dive permit 😝. We max our dives over the three nights we stayed and enjoyed the resort’s house reef very much. Though it comes at a hefty price tag compared to other dive resorts around Mabul/Semporna, the service provided by the dive centre is impeccable. From the dive guides to all the staffs, they’re all ready to help and always on standby wherever we are surfacing from our dives or getting ready for boat dives. We were lucky to always have the boat to ourselves, it was much more enjoyable and easier while gearing up on the boat without having to squeeze with a boat loaded full of divers. All equipments have to be rented (except for tank and weight) unless you have your own. That being said, you can enjoy unlimited dives in the house reef. A typical day would include 3 boat dives for those who are under diver’s package, during your free time you can do extra dives with your buddy at the house reef, normally unguided. For night dives at the house reef, as we are still amateur divers we requested their dive guide to join us and they were willing to do so without charging us extra. A dive comp would come in handy for all your self guided dives there. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #divingtrip

Bucket list: 6 things you must do in Semporna

Release a baby sea turtle Watch the Bajau people rowing their boats Take photos on the sandbar Stay in a water villa Snorkeling in Mataking Bargain at the seafood market - ❤️ Release a baby sea turtle Resorts like Mataking, White Pearl, and Dragon Pearl have their own sea turtle conservation bases. When baby sea turtles hatch, the resort will notify you of the release time the next day. You can participate and watch the baby sea turtles run towards the sea. It's very healing. - ❤️ Watch the Bajau people rowing their boats You can stay in MWB water villa or join the Kapalai + Mabul Island island hopping day tour. You can see the small wooden boats sailing on the jelly sea, carrying seafood and coconuts. Take a set of "seafood stalls" cultural photos. Coconuts are about 5 Malaysian Ringgit each. - ❤️ Take photos on the sandbar There are two island hopping routes. The Mataking 3 Islands route goes to Timba Timba Sandbar, and the Tun Sakaran Marine Park route goes to Warship Island Sandbar. If you stay at Mataking Resort, you can also go to their private sandbar, which is even more beautiful. - ❤️ Stay in a water villa Stay in a secluded wooden house on the sea. Take photos on the flower-filled wooden plank road, watch the sunset and stars on the balcony. It's romantic and comfortable, but you must stay in a water villa with good water quality. Otherwise, snorkeling is not worth it, and photos are not good. The ceiling of Semporna water villa: Kapalai - ❤️ Snorkeling in Mataking If you don't have a diving certificate, you can go snorkeling in Mataking. There are many fish, sea turtles, and corals. The sea is very clear. It's a feast for the eyes! Island hopping route: Mataking 3 Islands - ❤️ Bargain at the seafood market Take a bunch of seafood you've bargained for to the restaurant for processing. It's very rewarding. You can put down your "i" and bargain with your voice. When the local black people get angry, they will speak some random Chinese words. You are beautiful, but you have no money... - For information and booking of Semporna itinerary, please click on the link below to consult customer service -

Summer vacation with kids in Sipadan Kapalai

👍️Recommended reason: Beautiful! There are many kinds of marine fish, and of course, turtles as big as calves! 📅Travel guide: Sipadan is very simple, just play on the offshore islands and water villas. Staying in the town of Sipadan and taking a boat to hop islands will cost very little, while staying directly on the offshore islands or water villas will be relatively expensive, but compared to the Maldives and Palau, it's a bargain 🏨Accommodation guide: There are many water villas in Sipadan, with various styles and prices. It's best to book one with a snorkeling center if you have kids, so you can play as soon as you wake up. 💗Other tips: Make sure to take sun protection measures. If you're traveling with kids, consider whether they get motion sickness. If you fly to the island on the same day, it can be quite exhausting. Time flies, it's been 9 years since the first time I went to Sipadan. Now my kid is over 7 years old, and we've decided to revisit Sipadan. We stayed at SWV on Mabul Island before, and this time we booked Kapalai. Despite the unpredictable weather, we saw a waterspout, big sea turtles, and encountered small sea snakes. The most amazing thing was that my kid, who was snorkeling for the first time, adapted instantly like a child of the sea. For the next 3 days, he enjoyed it endlessly, and we used up an entire bottle of sunscreen

Semporna, a visa-free paradise! Which water bungalow resort is the best?

💖When you think of Semporna in Malaysia, do you almost smell the salty sea and the scent of the sun?🌞 As a popular travel destination, the water bungalow resorts are particularly enticing! With so many resorts to choose from, which one will you not regret? Come, take a look with me! 🏝️Kapalai Water Bungalow: 💙360° unobstructed sea view, it's like a private castle on the sea! Non-guests are not allowed on the island, ensuring utmost privacy💯. Each room comes with air conditioning and a large terrace, offering extreme comfort! And the water is crystal clear, making snorkeling an amazing experience!🤿 However, there is no beach, so the range of activities might be slightly limited. 🏝️MWB Resort: 💎Luxury hits you in the face! Fully equipped facilities, staying here feels like enjoying a five-star treatment. The terrace even comes with a jacuzzi, soaking in it is just too comfortable~ 🛁 But, there are tourists during the day, so privacy might not be perfect. 🏝️Mataking Resort: 💖One island, one hotel, absolutely quiet and private, super suitable for a vacation! You can also enjoy the romantic tri-color sea and trailing sand beach~ 🏖️ Plus, there are plenty of activities to ensure you won't get bored! But there's a small regret, there are no water bungalows here. 🏝️Pom Pom Island White Pearl: 💰Super affordable! There are free island-hopping activities every day! There are so many Instagrammable spots, your social media posts will definitely be on fire!🔥 The island also has a turtle conservation center, where you can release baby turtles, making it very suitable for family trips~ But, again, there are no water bungalows. 🏝️Starz Mia Resort: 🌅Newly opened, with 360-degree breathtaking sea views! There's also a sunset viewing platform, a sea view restaurant, and all-day butler service, offering a full vacation experience!💯 But the number of rooms is limited, so you have to book quickly~ 🏝️Sunset Water Bungalow: 🆕Opened in '23, with new facilities and good hardware, the thatched-roof houses are super stylish for photos! The large terrace allows direct access to the sea, which is just too cool!🏊‍♀️ However, the number of rooms is also limited, so be quick or you'll miss out~ 🏝️New Jia Mata Resort: 💰Great value for money! There are free island-hopping activities every day, and a special boat transfer service! Newly built fairy-tale cottages allow direct access to the sea, which is simply thrilling!🚣‍♂️ But there are no Sipadan slots, which is a bit of a pity. 🏝️Bantayan South Arcadia: 🏰Pure white Greek style, incredibly beautiful for photos! Floor-to-ceiling windows design, you can lie down and enjoy the sea and scenery, which is just too comfortable!🌊 But, likewise, there are no water bungalows. 🏝️Mabul Borneo Resort: 🎢An all-round resort with all kinds of entertainment facilities! There are also sufficient Sipadan slots, suitable for diving certification~ 🤿 But, the same, there are no water bungalows, which is a bit disappointing. 💖The annual pre-sale of all major resorts has been released, with great price advantages!
