Consisting of two land regions divided by the South China Sea, Malaysia comprises more than 850 islands, of which 394 are located in the state of Sabah, in Borneo. Most of the Malaysian coasts and islands are fringed by spectacular coral reefs. This exceptional geography offers a huge variety of snorkeling spots, and the opportunity to see and encounter one of the richest sea life on earth. While snorkeling Malaysia, you could encounter all sorts of marine creatures, from sharks to manta rays, as well as clownfish, starfish, moray eels and sea turtles.
Malaysia, some of the most pristine and vibrant coral reefs in Southeast Asia
Malaysia is part of the Coral Triangle, a region that concentrates the greatest underwater biodiversity in the world. It is estimated that it contains 30% of the coral reefs and 35% of the reef fish species on earth.
More than 350 coral species are found in Malaysia, and Sabah (a state of Malaysia located on the northern portion of the island of Borneo) contains more than 75% of all Malaysian reefs.
The weather in Malaysia is tropical –hot, humid, and rainy year-round-, with a large amount of rainfall during the annual monsoon seasons: from April to October in the southwest, and October to February in the northeast.
The best times to practice snorkeling in Malaysia are during January/February on the west coast, June/July on the east coast, and April in Sabah and the islands of Malaysian Borneo.
Air temperatures range from a mild 20°C to 30°C average throughout the year, while water temperature average is 26 to 30°C. Visibility in the water is generally clear, and can reach up to 50 meters on perfect days.
Peninsular Malaysia is assuredly a great snorkeling destination. However, the real snorkeling must in the country is with no doubt Malaysian Borneo, and particularly the state of Sabah.
This area has become well established as one of the finest dive and snorkeling locations in Asia. The small islands offshore Borneo are the perfect travel destination for tourists that like to explore and snorkel in remote places full of wildlife.
