I am so fortunate to have met such a kind and thoughtful tour guide. He cared deeply about the children and was always by their side to look after them and ensure their safety. His loving and responsible attitude truly touched our hearts.
With him, we were able to enjoy this trip with complete peace of mind, comfort, and joy, without any worries. We deeply appreciate all his care, attention, and sincerity throughout this journey. Thank you for making our trip so wonderful and meaningful! ❤️ If you're travelling with your family and children, I highly recommend him! His name is AIM! He is truly caring, attentive, and responsible, especially when it comes to looking after the kids. ❤️ And also one more guy who helped us to take a lot of photos 👍👍
I hope to go diving again in the future and have the chance to find him as our guide once more! 🤿💙

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!

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.

What a wonderful experience! Before departure, customer service proactively contacted me and created a group chat. On the day of departure, a staff member was even arranged to meet us in the early morning and guide us to the meeting point on their way to work. This staff member also spoke fluent Mandarin and Cantonese, making the first stop of our trip full of pleasant surprises! They also offered thoughtful photo services, including free underwater photos and videos. It was absolutely delightful!

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).

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.

Quick facts about Semporna
General info
What to know before visiting Semporna
What to do in Semporna
Semporna is best known for Water activities, followed by Tours and Massages, with occasional Cultural experiences. Klook booking data shows demand builds through the year and hits a clear high in August, so the busy season centres on marine and island experiences. If you plan around boats, snorkelling and liveaboard-style days out, expect busiest conditions in August and September and much quieter conditions in December. For travellers weighing when to go, pick between lively peak-season marine adventures or quieter, more flexible island time — Klook booking data guides that choice.
When to visit Semporna
Demand peaks in August and stays high into September, while December is the quietest month; Klook booking data shows August with the strongest uplift and December the biggest drop versus a typical month. Prices move differently through the year: median prices in the Klook window are highest in February and plunge in May, so crowd levels and prices don't always match. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for May or December; for peak-season atmosphere and busier marine activity, August and September are the months to choose.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | HKD 343 |
| February | Quieter than usual | HKD 600 |
| March | About average | HKD 421 |
| April | About average | HKD 413 |
| May | About average | HKD 39 |
| June | About average | HKD 327 |
| July | About average | HKD 491 |
| August | Peak demand | HKD 390 |
| September | Peak demand | HKD 398 |
| October | About average | HKD 398 |
| November | About average | HKD 515 |
| December | Very quiet | HKD 335 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Hong Kong
Most travellers book around 7 days ahead, with the earliest planners securing activities about three weeks out; Klook booking data is the source for these patterns. That means you can be flexible and find options a few days before travel, but in August and September—the peak months—locking things in earlier helps secure popular boat trips. Book on Klook to see live availability and typical prices, and consider reserving high-demand water activities in advance while leaving lower-demand items for closer to departure.
