Mengalum Island

Only when I went to Pulau Tiga in Sabah did I realize, The blue sea is really not a legend💙. The journey is closer than Mermaid Island, and there are fewer people than island hopping, Our boat of 20 people almost chartered the island🏝. Snorkeling in the middle of the sea is completely different from the shore, The water is clear, and there are as many fish as Finding Nemo🐟, There are clownfish nemo and the same pink coral. I was also lucky to find a little turtle swimming🐢. There is a buffet lunch at noon, and drinks are free. It's not delicate but it tastes good🦀. Then go to the beach to step on the white sand and take pictures, Dancing under the bubble machine while listening to music, For a complete guide, see below😎 🗺Itinerary & Tips: 👉07:20 Pick up from the hotel to the pier. 👉09:30 Arrive on the island (1.5 hours by speedboat) Depart early, it is recommended not to arrange too full the day before or rest early. There is no bathroom on the boat, so go to the pier. I squinted on the boat and slept very sweetly in the sea breeze. 🐠🐠10:00 Change into a swimsuit and go out to sea for snorkeling🐠🐠 There are two snorkeling points in total, and places with many fish and corals will stay longer. Even if you can't swim, you can have a lot of fun. If you are really scared, you can get on the boat in advance. There will be precautions on the boat, and free activities after getting off the water. Everyone is in one area, and Xiao Hei is also around you. The life jacket has a large buoyancy and is generally safe. 📌Snorkeling Tips: ①Be sure to wear a jellyfish suit or sun protection suit, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned. Some fish bite people, the wound is not big and not painful but it will break. ②The rented face mirror is of good quality, not easy to enter the water, if you need glasses, you can tell the guide. There is no disposable mouthpiece, if you mind, you can bring your own. ③It is necessary to rent a pair of flippers, it is better to kick water when encountering waves and currents, especially for those who can't swim. ④Buy some bread in advance and stuff it in a plastic bottle. The effect of attracting fish is very good. It costs 5RM/bottle on the boat. ⑤Gopro follows the shooting according to the number of tourists, 50RM/person/snorkeling all the way. The shooting is really good, and it is more reassuring to have Xiao Hei staring at you. You can bargain to 30RM/person, and the guide will give it to you before leaving the island. 👉12:00-13:00 Beach buffet lunch, free activities. It is recommended not to change the swimsuit first, it will spray bubbles at 13:30. 👉14:30 Board the ship and return, 16:00 Arrive at the city pier.

You can bargain if you book one day in advance at the pier, 260RM or 300RM can be booked. 🎒Suggested to bring: Sunscreen/mud, hat, sunglasses, mobile phone waterproof bag, swimsuit, slippers, towel, bread for feeding fish

Began from Jesselton Point Jetty and we boarded boat for about 1 hour ride to the island. Upon arrival, we couldnt help but snap countless photos of the place. The white sandy beach, ocean and sky were too stunning. After gearing up, we went for 2 diving spots. We swam alongside schools of fish, watched as graceful sea turtles glided by, spotted a playful octopus, etc. Back to the island, we had our sumptuous buffet lunch to fill our tummies. There are also free activities available such as snorkeling and kayaking. You may roam around the island on your own or you can also choose to ride their ATV (own expense). #trip #island #travel #diving
