Dreamed of underwater adventure and chill island vibes? My Tawau & Sipadan trip was pure core memory material 🐢🌴. If you're into epic diving, cats lazing around, and the wild swirl of barracuda, this is how to do it right! Must-See: Sipadan Island Get yourself to Sipadan Island (Malaysia, open year-round, all day) for legendary diving. The coral is unreal and spotting turtles is basically guaranteed. Pro tip: book your diving slot early because they cap visitors daily to protect the site—so don’t sleep on it! And don’t forget underwater camera gear—barrels of barracuda swarms make sick shots 📸. Cat lovers, pause at Tawau town before heading out. It’s cat central—plenty of strays, super chill to snap pics and cuddle while you wait for the boat. Diving logistics: Most Sipadan trips start with a boat from Semporna (about 1 hour from Tawau by van/taxi). Dive shops usually help handle transport, but double-check your booking time and bring cash for marine park fees. How to get around: Use Grab from Tawau airport to Semporna—way cheaper and easier than local taxis. Book a package with a local dive center (trip.com has bundles that sort out boat rides, gear, permits). The roads are bumpy, so eat light before you travel! Food rec: Chow down grilled fish at Semporna’s night market, or try local chicken rice at any kopitiam in Tawau. Dirt cheap, delicious, and halal-friendly. Weather: Early mornings and evenings are coolest—pack light layers for boat trips! Ready for barracuda ballet and turtle selfies? This slice of Borneo is exactly what your feed needs. #SipadanIsland #TawauTravels #DiveMalaysia #UnderwaterAdventure #tripdotcom
