Staff were extremely helpful. when we fell ill, they offered Panadol. Breakfast variety can be improved as only bread and hard boiled egg were served everyday. It is around 5min drive and 20min walk from the jetty. With laundry mart and policlinic a stone throw away.

Great experience going to mataking and pom pom island. Couldn't stop at timba timba Island due to government restrictions, however we stopped over in an area to snorkel. The guide was very helpful taking photos for us, we saw many sea turtles yesterday and tropical fishes with beautiful coral reefs. Got to see a lion fish as well. We had a great once in a lifetime experience. Would recommend this tour!

The crew was super friendly and took great care of us. We booked the snorkeling activity, and the boat was shared with 4 other people who were all diving. Because of this, we visited 3 spots for snorkeling/diving. We saw many turtles and fish. Unfortunately, one spot wasn't suitable for snorkeling due to strong currents, which was a shame. We also only went ashore on Mataking. We would have liked to visit the other two islands as well.

Awesome tour guide (named Syaiful if not mistaken), help me get great underwater images. The guide continuously monitor & check my safety during the snorkelling sessions. The lunch buffet was great, got 3 lauks (chicken, fish & veggie) + watermelon, and self service coffee & tea. Kapalai underwater scenery is a bit better than Mabul. Next trip plan to have few dives in Sipadan & other Island (finger crossed).

It was accidental that I discovered this Discover Scuba Diving tour even though I had been to the 3 islands the day before on a snorkeling trip but it provided a totally new and incredible experience for a non-scuba diver like myself. It was all because of this amazing 1-to-1 instructor (Azriel, from Island Adventure), his team of professional photographers and support staffs. I thank you.

Great experience with Blue Fin Divers. The dive instructor was very attentive to detail, and guided us on where we can improve. There was also good food, music and company provided, making this whole journey a wholesome one.

The cleanliness can be improved as there were a lot of cotton and dirt on the floor. The water ran out unexpectedly and we couldn't do the foot soak, but the owner offered to exchange it for extra massage time which was nice. It is located quite deep within the dragon floating inn. but compensated with the pretty views.

What to know before visiting Semporna
Semporna at a glance: sea-focused activities and tours
Semporna is a gateway for water-based experiences, with water activities and island tours dominating bookings alongside a smaller share of massages and cultural experiences. Demand on Klook shows a highly seasonal rhythm, with clear highs and lows that shape when travellers visit.
Best times to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data shows the busiest months are August and September, while December is the quietest month. Prices trend lower around December and May, and rise toward early next year with a peak seen in February; overall prices and demand mostly move together around the high season in August–September and the low in December. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in December or May; for peak-season atmosphere and the liveliest activity, aim for August or September.
Tips for travellers
Most experiences here can be planned with reasonable flexibility: Klook’s aggregate booking patterns show travellers typically book about seven days ahead, with many last-minute options available a couple of days before. If you plan to travel in the peak months named above, consider securing key water activities a few weeks earlier to lock in preferred dates; otherwise, booking within a week of travel usually works well.
