⛰【Attractions Guide】 📍Detailed address: Semporna 🚗Transportation Guide: 【Island Transportation】✅ ✈️International Flights - Kota Kinabalu or Kuala Lumpur - Tawau Airport. After arriving at Tawau Airport, you need to take a car for about 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach Semporna Town. After arriving in the town, you can take a boat to various islands for island hopping 🕙Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 💰Ticket price: Diving permit: A permit is required for diving in Sipadan Island. The first island fee is RM40/person/time, and the second time is RM140/person/time. 🌟Highlights: 🔶Bang Bang Island: The sea water is very clear, and there are many amusement facilities on the island. You can also play on the sea swing and take pictures with the glass on Bang Bang Island! 🔶Mataking Island: The seawater quality and seabed ecology here are definitely in the first echelon. It is known as the old paradise island, and you can see many creatures here! 🔶Kapalai Island: Located in the middle of a coral reef, it has crystal clear waters. 🔶 Gunkanjima: There are abundant underwater creatures and various reef corals are very beautiful 🔶 Timba Timba Island: Long tail beach and jelly sea, a place to watch sea turtles. 📌Tips: ① Even landlubbers can snorkel, they will provide swimming rings, and Xiao Hei will accompany you, so the safety index is online ② Choose sunscreen that is friendly to the ocean, otherwise it will pollute corals and marine life ③ Bring waterproof Band-Aids! If you are scratched by coral, you should deal with it promptly. It is recommended to wear river tracing shoes instead of flip-flops. There are a lot of corals on Timba Timba Beach. ④ It is recommended to bring your own diving mask! You can rent it, but the rented equipment is easy to fog up. If you have myopia, you can buy a mask with prescription in advance on the Orange app. ⑤ You cannot take a plane 18 hours after deep diving! If you have a scuba diving trip planned, it is recommended to schedule it in the middle of the trip. It will be very troublesome to change the flight ticket afterwards. ⑥ Grab is recommended for taxis. It is cheap and you can order takeout.
