The beaches are beautiful, but unfortunately we weren't allowed to swim without life jackets anywhere.★

Reviews: Timba-Timba, Mataking and Pom Pom Island Day Tour in Semporna
Guest User2026-02-01
We set off late, the guides were cheerful, the water was murky, there weren't many fish, and there were a lot of people. We didn't snorkel much, but swam and dove from the boat.★

Reviews: Mabul & Kapalai Island Snorkeling / Diving Day Tour with Lunch | Semporna, Sabah
Guest User2025-12-28
The island fee for Mabul Island is 50 MYR, payable by yourself or by scanning a QR code. It's truly beautiful, filled with flowers and Bajau people selling coconuts. It's not ideal for snorkeling, perhaps due to the presence of overwater bungalows. However, the instructors are very helpful. Overall, it's best to just enjoy the scenery and take photos. I recommend our guide, Chen Kaixin; he's super fun and awesome!★

Reviews: Mengalum Island snorkeling 1-day tour includes lunch
Guest User2025-08-01
It's a fantastic island, a pineal room. I got a lot of life shots. It's not easy to take a boat for an hour, but if you look at the beautiful island, all this effort will be rewarded. However, most of them are Chinese. I hope you consider this.★

I was worried because I don’t speak much English, but our guide Michael was very kind. We had an amazing time in the crystal-clear ocean. Thank you
