A hidden gem in Malaysia

Pulau Bohey Dulang is an absolute must-visit destination in Malaysia. The panoramic views from the hilltop are breathtaking. The island is a nature lover’s dream and it came true. I booked an island hopping tour from Semporna and this spot was one of my favourites. The atmosphere, crystal-clear turquoise water, greenery, marine life and coral reefs are incredible, everything on this island is astonishing. If you are looking for a tropical paradise that feels untouched and unspoiled, Pulau Bohey Dulang is your place. . . . #fallingseason #boheydulang #semporna #asia #asiatrip #beachlife #malaysia #malaysiatravel #asiatravel #beaches #naturalwonders #nature #

Timba Timba island 🩵

We have recently visited Timba Timba Island in Semporna, and it was an absolute paradise. The crystal clear water and white sandy beach of the island were breathtaking. The snorkelling experience was one of the best that we had so far in Southeast Asia. It is full of coral reefs and abundant marine life, we fell in love with it! Our trip was with Dive monsters agency, and we had island hopping tour, so Timba Timba was the first place to visit. I totally recommend this tour and agency. If you love nature, beaches, marine life and tranquility this place is for you! . . . #beachvacation #semporna #malaysia #malaysiatravel #beachlife #borneotravel #sabah #beaches #asia #trip #instatravel #beach #malaysiatrip #couplestrip

Beautiful place with beautiful people

May 23 - This trip has been an eye-opener for me. Me being a positive and will-try-anything attitude and will not wanna give up on any challenges, had to stop and reset my mindset to not overthink when you are underwater. Simple easy instructions by an instructor on land will never be the same underwater if you don't let go of what is above you. Technical class I have no problem, pass with flying colours. Making myself relax underwater is not easy as it seems. I salute all the divers out there who dive for leisure or work. Be safe and stay safe. CHEERS!! ##semporna #bucketlistreboot #diving #2023travelwish

Malaysia Sabah Semporna

Semporn is one of the most famous islands in Malaysia, and it is also an island I want to go to.😍 Finally, I’m here🥳😜. I stayed in a water house for the first time, I chose a cheap but beautiful water house. This resort name is SeaStar Resort Semporna. This water house is close to Semporna Pier, about 5 minutes by boat, which is suitable for some people who have limited funds and want to experience the decoration of living in a water house. This resort room is very large, fully equipped, and the food is delicious, especially for dinner. 😋 Of course, there will definitely be some disadvantages if you live so close and cheap. That means there will be more garbage 😅. #wecreate #semporna #seastarresort #malaysia #sabah #holidays #island #snorkeling #glassboat #sea

Amazing Ocean View from Hill Top

#boheydulang #semporna #islandhopping #hiking During the trip to Semporna, it's lucky to have a sunny day that suitable for hiking. We took a boat to go Bohey Dulang Island. There have local ranger bring us up to the hilltop and accompany us along the way. The Bohey Dulang trail walk way is about 700m to the peak. We walk and hike slowly, it took about 1 hour to reach the top. The view of the ocean from hill top is really AMAZING!!! How great is the creation of God! After enjoy the view and taking photos, we took about 30mins to back to the foot of the hill.

CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER AT MATAKING

Mataking island is one of the favourite placed to visit if you staying at Semporna Island. Small island located at Semporna, Sabah always welcome us as guest.

Must in travel list, Sipadan Kapalai Resort

#resortstyle If you look for luxury resort in Malaysia, you may consider Sipadan Kapalai Resort. This is the best resort ever. You may book directly with the resort which they are offering packages in different period and cheaper than if you book through other websites. They have their own private boat to their resort which included in the package. Safety wise, they have their own army to guard the resort 24/7. They provide 4 meals a day, which overall above average. Lunch and dinners served with fresh seafood. There is a snorkelling area, photoshot area and sunbathing area in the resort as well. So all about to enjoy the crystal clear sea! At night, it’s very quiet after dinner, you may have some beer which you need to pay, at their dining area. I would say, it must in your travel list! To witness the beauty of Semporna.#2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #semporna #kapalairesort

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

Di Semporna saya dan suami tempah tempat percutian kami di Singamata Resort (tak ingat nama penuh resort🫢) walaupun resort kurang popular jika dibandingkan dengan Mabul, Kapalai, tapi resort ni rasanya lebih besar dari resort resort atas air yang lain dan pada masa kami pergi ni resort masih dalam proses untuk buat tarikan lain mungkin. Pakej pulau pula saya ambil dari agen lain sebab last mini plan dengan suami😅 tapi MasyaAllah tang laut tu memang cantik tak terkata❤️😍 Tiap kali tengok rasa rindu pula☺️ Mungkin jika ada rezeki kami akan pergi lagi Semporna tapi resort yang lain pula😊 #semporna #triptosabah #tripblazers #mytripvlog #couplestrip #husbandwife

Pacific Inn Hotel, Semporna, Sabah

The hotel is situated just near the jetty. It is just a stone throw away from the jetty. So convinience to the customer if they just went back from water activity, they can just walk to the hotel. The hotel did provide toilet and changing room at their lobby. For me, the room is spacious and cleanliness is superb. The decoration is modern eventhough the hotel look a bit old from outside. All facilities inside the room also working well. I've booked sea view room and the view from the room during night time is so good. with all the light from the locals making it so eye catching. However, eventhough the room mention it the king room, but the bed given is queen. But still, it is worth every penny. The hotel also have easy access to a few restaurant below it, thus it is easy to find food. #staycation #asiatrip #semporna #sabah

Amazing Overwater Chalet in Semporna

Location: Pulau Bum Bum, Semporna, Sabah MY Getting There - From Tawau Airport. From Tawau head to Semporna Main Jetty (one hour drive) Attractions - Beautiful ‘Bohey Dulang’, budget overwater chalet, diving spots and kayaking. Hotel - Nusakuya Resort on Bum-Bum Island (20 minutes boat ride from Semporna) Where to eat - Semporna is a seafood 🦞 haven. So many seafood restaurants. Semporna won’t disappoint you. A must visit. Sunrise 🌅 and Sunset too magnificent here. #sabah #semporna #islandlife #awesomepic

Semporna, a dynamic town driven by tourism

I arrived at Semporna by bus from Lahad Datu and stayed there for 3 days while getting info about the driving paradises of Mabul and Sipadan. The city is very contrast. You have fishing and local villages coexisting with the businesses catering to tourism and diving. For sure, Semporna is the land base for exploring Sipadan and other islands off the coast, but the city itself has a something to offer while preparing yourself for the action or while waiting for dissolved nitrogen to release from your body. Price is quite inflated here but still within reasonable range. Apart from the waterfront, you can visit the floating village. I suggest you get help from a local in visiting there so as you understand it better and do it with respect. #semporna #gatewaytosipadan

Semporna Trip May 2022

Getting There - Semporna is one of best place to visit for snorkelling or diving activities. You have to fly to Tawau airport from peninsular if you would like to get there. the distance between Tawau airport to Semporna is about 1.5 hours. Attractions - If you are ocean lover, will suggest you to spend 5 days here and at least you can plan 3 days to visit 3 routes and at least 8 islands/places in Semporna. Hotels - If you have better budget, strongly recommend you to stay in Kapalai resort, which is totally a unforgettable experience. If you are looking for budget travel, stay at Semporna town and lot of hotels choices. Food & Restaurants - Seafood, seafood and seafood is the best choice. Shopping - Personally I like to have a coffee at Starbucks Seafest Square. Nice place to hang around and chit chat with friends during evening or night time. . . . . . #semporna #kapalairesort #mabulisland #snorkelling #diving

Paradise On Earth @ Small Island In Malaysia

Mabul Water Bungalows > Kapalai Water Bungalows hands down 🙌🏻 Two months ago I travelled to another water resort in Semporna - Kapalai Resort. Although I was completely mesmerized by its scenery, I wanted to try out a different resort this round, booked a 4 nights trip at Mabul Water Bungalows with my family. In the morning, we onboarded to a private boat to Mabul Water Bungalows (about 45 mins boat journey from Semporna jetty). Upon arrival, we were greeted politely by the resort staffs, and served warm towel & welcome drink individually. Then we were given a private resort tour, the resort staff was friendly and provide us many useful information bout what activities we can do onboard. after the briefing, we had our lunch before checking in to our room. The room comes with a private chilling deck, and 2 lounge chairs, which are what I loved most bout the resort. the room is spacious and clean. In comparison, I personally think in most aspects Mabul Water Bungalows has it better than Kapalai. 1. Room is bigger and more spacious. the chilling deck area is bigger too. 2. Foods are so so much better even though the food options were limited 3. Top-notch service. My brother had upset stomach before coming to Mabul and spent his day resting in room. the resort staffs were nice enough to cook him congee personally, and offered him medication, they even checked in with his condition on the next day. Great hospitality. 4. Not too crowded. 5. Kayak is free of charge the only downside of the resort is the water surrounding Mabul water bungalow wasn’t that clear compared to Kapalai. in Kapalai, we could see all types of fishes and turtles anywhere we go, but in Mabul, we hardly see any fishes. overall, my family enjoyed staying in Mabul water bungalows and we’d definitely visit again in future! #staycation #awesomepic #beaches #semporna #waterresort #summervacation #naturalwonders #nature #nationalpark #tripaway #sabah

A hike up Skull Hill , Semporna

Bukit Tengkorak aka Skull Hill is an archaeological site located at Jalan Tampi-Tampi, just about 10km south of Semporna town in Sabah… It is a hill about 600 feet above sea level. Bukit Tengkorak is a volcanic rock-shelter site and a part of volcano mouth of 2km in diameter. Bukit Tengkorak Archaeological Site is considered the largest pottery making factory in Southeast Asia during the Neolithic period. If you have sharp eyes, the hill slopes are littered with numerous pottery shards with various patterns dating 3,000 BC and offers a good 500 metre walk and a beautiful 360 degree view of Semporna, the volcano caldera as well as views of Semporna’s surrounding islands. The hike is relatively easy with wooden stairs and boardwalks as well as some R&R (rest and recharge cum viewing platforms along the way… There is a small but interesting archaeological museum at its base… Entrance is free but don’t forget to bring a bottle of water with you for the hike up to keep hydrated…. #bukittengkorak #skullhill #semporna #livelifelah #sabahtourism #feelsabah #hiking
