Mabul Island, one of Malaysia's finest snorkeling sports, featuring a wide variety of marine life that suitable to explorers of all levels of experience.
There are three gateways ushering tourists to Mabul. The first is via Tawau Airport, about 45 minutes' flight from Kota Kinabalu. From Tawau, you can find a taxi to the small town (fare about RM30) and take another 1 hour's bus ride to Semporna Jetty, where a 45-minute boat ride will bring you to the snorkeling and diving paradise.
Another option is arriving at the Sandakan Airport, a 30 minute flight from Kota Kinabalu. From Sandakan, it's a 3-4 hour bus ride to Semporna Jetty, where you can get on a boat headed to Mabul Island.
If you’re a backpacker you can ride a bus from Kota Kinabalu. Buses leave daily for Semporna at 7:30am an 7:30pm from the Kota Kinabalu Inanam Bus Terminal. It takes about 7 hours to reach Semporna by bus and costs approximately RM50, includes food.
My recent visit to the island, I stayed at Scuba Jeff, an overwater backpacker, where you can snorkel from its balcony from morning to the afternoon and watch the sunset in the evening.
Ok, enough of the introduction...
Let me show you pictures that I took during my 3 days and 2 nights experience:
P/S: Please wear long pants while snorkeling if you can't stand the baby jellyfish.
