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, Massages and Cultural experiences across the year. Water activities dominate bookings, peaking in August when demand jumps sharply, while Tours and Massages provide easy add-ons year-round according to Klook booking data. Plan around the rhythm of the year: August is the busiest month for island and marine outings, and December is noticeably quieter. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or a calmer, cheaper visit. All observations above are based on Klook booking data.
When to visit Semporna
The busiest time is August, when demand reaches a clear peak; December is the quietest month with much lower booking levels. Prices move through the year with the median paid on Klook ranging from lower mids to occasional spikes — February shows the highest typical price while May is the softest. Demand and price align in August and September with higher interest and mid-range prices, while December combines very quiet demand with generally lower typical prices. For smaller crowds and lower typical prices, consider May or December; for lively island conditions and the peak vibe, aim for August.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | SGD 57 |
| February | Quieter than usual | SGD 99 |
| March | About average | SGD 69 |
| April | About average | SGD 68 |
| May | About average | SGD 6 |
| June | About average | SGD 54 |
| July | About average | SGD 81 |
| August | Peak demand | SGD 64 |
| September | Peak demand | SGD 66 |
| October | About average | SGD 66 |
| November | About average | SGD 85 |
| December | Very quiet | SGD 55 |
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 Singapore
Most travellers from Singapore tend to lock plans in about 7 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly three weeks out; Klook’s platform-level advance-booking patterns show this level of planning. That means you can often stay flexible and book island activities a few days before travel, but during Peak demand months like August it's wise to confirm must-do trips earlier. Use Klook to compare typical prices and secure slots for popular water activities and tours — booking a little ahead gets the experiences you want while still leaving room for adjustments. All timing is based on Klook booking data.
