Five-star experience! Five-star trip! A perfect journey!
Our tour guide, Sue, contacted us via WhatsApp the night before and was incredibly patient in answering all our questions. She also helped us take photos throughout the trip without any hesitation. Some of our group members had very high expectations for photography, and Sue was surprisingly patient in helping them get their shots.
It's worth noting that our group was a combination of several smaller groups, but all the guides knew each other, so they were great at creating a lively atmosphere. One guide constantly played music through a loudspeaker, which really boosted the mood, and they even matched the theme – for example, playing Jay Chou's "Rice Field" when we were watching fireflies! Truly professional!
Be aware that the local mosquitoes are very aggressive and aren't deterred by mosquito repellent, so that's something to keep in mind.
The sunset there is stunning! We had plenty of time for free activities and taking photos. My first snorkeling experience was also amazing. The only downside was that some people in our group might have been afraid of water, so we had to accommodate them and couldn't visit more spots. We ended up staying at one spot for about an hour.
You can rent a locker on the island for HKD $60, but you honestly don't need to; no one is going to steal your belongings on a deserted island...
Watching the fireflies is an absolutely unforgettable experience! Photos can't capture the awe-inspiring sight; you'll understand once you go!
P.S. The meeting time that day was 7 AM! So it was a very early start, but totally worth it.

it was well arranged. we had pickup service and a guide to guide us through the day. the boat ride is a bit chaotic so it was good we had a guide to bring us through. snorkelling is great. managed to see a stingray and few varieties of fishes at manukan island. sapi was a little bit too crowded.

Highly recommend. The snorkeling tour is very professional and nice.Firstly, we took a boat to Mengalum Island and enjoyed the beach there. About 11:00AM, we went to two beautiful snorkeling spots in total. There were all kinds of fish in both places, and we also saw starfish and octopuses🐙.After lunch, just enjoyed chill time on the beach🏖️. I had a very wonderful and memorable experience in Mengalum Island. Happy new year and all the best wishes to the one who is reading the review😬

The driver contacted me on WhatsApp the day before, so the pick-up went smoothly. It's 10 to 15 minutes from the port, so if you don't get seasick easily, I don't think you need to take any medicine. When you arrive, they will explain the schedule and precautions. It's written in easy-to-understand English, so I think even people who aren't good at English can understand it. I was told that the staff would look after my luggage and that there was a surveillance camera, so I was fine leaving my luggage on the sofa. When snorkeling, they will tell you where to find fish. Afterwards, we had a BBQ, SUP and kayaking activities, and ended with high tea. You can also ride a water bike as an option, which I have never experienced, but it looked like it would be fun. When we got tired, we all rested in hammocks. Shampoo and body soap are provided in the shower area, bath towels can be rented for 10RM, paper towels are provided in the toilet, and there is a place to change clothes, so I was able to enjoy my stay with peace of mind. The BBQ was delicious and the hospitality of the staff was excellent. There aren't many foreign tourists, so I think it's a little-known spot!

Semporna Island Snorkeling Experience

Super satisfied. It feels great to snorkel freely without a life jacket. 👏 The shallow guide helped me take a lot of videos and took me down to see nemo. The island is super pristine and very beautiful. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the hiking mountain. If you go, you must be prepared! The shallow guide does not go up the mountain, and there is a special pick-up. Personally, I feel that it is also very good to take pictures there without climbing the mountain or diving. The scenery seen on the mountain is not much different from the feeling of seeing it when the speedboat comes. Personally, I feel that except for hiking, everything else is superb! I like my shallow guide so much that he can provide emotional value! Because I brought my mother with me, my mother can't swim, and I have to take care of my mother and help me take videos hahahaha. It's really hard. The underwater ecology is really good, there are live corals and various fish. I want to take a diving certificate next time. The shallow guide can speak Chinese, so you don't have to worry about communication problems.
