Assalamualaikum and hi, everyone!
For this episode, this is how the story begins…
“What to Do in Mabul Island?” Is it safe? Should we explore other cities in Sabah instead? These were the questions swirling in our minds as we started planning our next trip to Sabah.
As we read about other travelers’ experiences, we discovered that Mabul Island is not only safe but also brimming with incredible stories. One of the key strengths of any country lies in its people, and that’s what solidified our decision. We couldn’t wait to meet the diverse ethnicities that call Sabah home, including the Sea Gypsies and Suluk.
With our minds made up, we embarked on our journey to this enchanting island for a 3-day, 2-night adventure.
0:00 Day 1 - The Bungalow
• Flight from KLIA at 6am
• Arrived Tawau Airport after almost 3hrs (Resort’s Transportation was already waiting us outside)
• Journey frm Tawau Airport – Semporna Town at 1hrs 15mins
• Boarded Speed boat at Seafest Jetty in Semporna Town (which arranged by resort)
• Arrived Mabul Water Bungalow (after 45mins)
• Briefing & Touring being held by Mr Jasni, MWB’s team (for the guests to familiar with the resort)
• Lunch & room check in (Type of Room- Family Villa)
• Snorkelling at MWB’s HouseReef
• The HouseReef’s Jetty is a hot spot for local villagers to sell their live seafood, get ready once you’ve engaged them. “Mesti deal sampai jadi” that’s their mission 😊
But, we’re not all out for day 1, just get to know how to handle the deals first
• Back to the room and continues with outdoor jacuzzi and sunset from our balcony
• Dinner at MWB’s restaurant which located in an airy dining pavilion
• Night Walk and looking for the sea turles but we found a baby crab that freely went for his night swimming
• Wrap of the day, tiring but can’t wait for tomorrow!
10:28 Day 2 - The Underwater Paradise
• Breakfast
• Heading to Dive centre by walking through the Sama Relaut Village. So nice to feel the air and ambience of village and meeting their friendly peoples
• Reach Scuba Junkie (with half day diving package)
• Refresher session at ScubaJunkie’s HouseReef (warming up needed since 6 months not getting into diving)
• Continue with Lobster Wall (meeting so many new friends underwater) and last dive site called Paradise Wreck
• Lunch
• Bicycle rental at the main resort (on land side)
• Bought lobsters and crabs
• Dinner in the room
• Out for OOTD at landmarks surrounding MWB
• Wrap of our last night
26:12 Day 3 - The People of Mabul
• Breakfast
• Heading for Snorkelling activity at Sipadan Kapalai Dive Resort
