Sipadan is super beautifull. School of jackfish and Baracudda ... Easier to spot turtles too

For snorkeling if I rate mabul/kapalai at A, sipadan will be AAA+++ liao

Can't imagine how much awesome it will be if diving

my flight to tawau is in the morning

1st day flight ETA Tawau 10am..
should i go straight to Semporna?
if i were to stay in dragon in, can cari boatman on the spot right for nextday snorkelling. no need book advance??

2nd day : plan to do snorkelling at mabul...
then after snorkel, should i go back straight tawau?
anything to do in tawau?
or lepak in semporna? if i stay semporna 2nd day, 3rd day go another snorkelling?
3rd day Flight ETD tawau 9pm.
wat to do here? since my flight depart tawau at 9pm.
*
Whao ur trip is rush.

IMO tawau got nothing, worse than semporna. Just direct head to semporna and book snorkeling trip for the next day.

If u can't find boatman, then just get it from any dive shop lo. No need book advance

3rd day if u go snorkeling, when reach back semporna should be around 5pm d. From semporna to tawau airport will be abit more than 1 hour .

But then again, u need to find a place to bath lolx

PS: tawau to semporna is around 90 minutes. Tawau airport to semporna is around 70mins. Tawau airport to tawau is around 30minutes. Depends if got road block will take longer

flying to semporna next month..

1st day -
arrive tawau airport morning 9.50 arrived,
take taxi to semporna...
booked sipadan inn 2...
look for tour to mabul for day 2...
spend time in semporna... (whole day can do what? any recommend) [maxsua]

day 2 -
mabul island lor
anything else?
after mabul, take taxi to tawau...check in vs hotel...
night in tawau dinner(any good food?)

day 3 -
tawau whole day until flight (9.10pm) can do what here?  sweat.gif
*
lol. I stayed at sipadan inn2 and vs hotel before too.

semporna basically nothing much to do la...just a very small town. if makan i recommend the chinese restaurant which is same row with scuba junkies office. the food is very cheap and gooding if you order from the menu where the dish comes with fixed price.

basically, semporna got nothing la.

I guess you are non diver, so 2nd day just go mabul island snorkel lo. U will back at semporna at around 5pm++ d

For me, I won't recommend you go to Tawau. Might as well spend another night at Semporna. Then 3rd day, go Kapalai island snorkel around, back to semporna at around 5pm ++ then terus take taxi go to Tawau airport.

unless u had found something interesting at Tawau la, then i no comment, if not, just skip it.

hi all, planning to go to sipadan for next year june 2014.

been considering either kapalai diving resort or the mabul resort. fyi non diver here. just wanna spend nice and romantic time with my wife. any recommendation?
*
i did not stay at those 2 but on sipadan water village. while service is ok and it looks nice outside, the room itself is quite dated riao

QUOTE(b5n111 @ Dec 5 2013, 06:24 PM)
Sipadan island has a stretch of 100m+ white sandy beach (open for public) only, and the beautiful underwater world mainly starts at 5m and deeper.

*
IMO sipadan, even for just snorkeling, the underwater life, fish and turtles...is just pure superb! Can even see shark (if lucky la) . redang and pulau payar is just like baby climbing, while sipadan is like F1 cars lol
