Mabul Island, Malaysia

#Get a discount without relying on luck Go to the sea in a neighboring country Not far from Thailand That is "Mabul Island, Malaysia" . This is a small island located in the northeast of Malaysia. About 45 minutes from Sempona city It is called one of the paradises of divers. Especially underwater photography and Muck Diving And another important thing that makes this place popular In terms of the sea and diving is because This area is part of the Coral Triangle. It is an area with the highest marine biodiversity in the world. Covering the seas of many countries, including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste Until it is called "The Amazon of the sea" But even though this place looks like a small island, it is considered One of the best diving sites in the world Full of coral and many underwater animals And because it is a conservation area So they limit the entrance to only 176 people per day. And each resort has a different quota. It also depends on the size of each resort. ✈️ How to get to Mabul Island 🚤 1. Fly from Thailand Bangkok - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia It takes about 2.15 hours. 2. Continue domestic flight from Kuala Lumpur - Tawau Airport (Tawau Airport) It takes about 3 hours. ❗️I recommend choosing a flight with a connecting time of about 2-3 hours. Because if the first flight is delayed, it will be very difficult to find a flight to Tawau.❗️ 3. I slept in Sempona for 1 night. Then travel to Mabul Island the next morning. It's up to you. 4. I booked a boat with the accommodation before going to Mabul Island. The travel time is about 45 minutes. 5. This island can be visited as a One Day Trip. It may save you more money because the resorts on the island are quite expensive. . Many people may think that when talking about beautiful sea islands, you have to think of the Maldives. But this is another island with beautiful and very clear water. Plus, it's in the middle of the sea. You can only get there by boat!
