Why This 3D2N Island Package Is a Hit Among Travellers
1. Quick Escape Without Compromising the Experience
In just 3 days and 2 nights, you’ll explore two iconic islands—Mabul and Kapalai—each offering distinct experiences. TYH BORNEO TOURS arranges seamless transfers, meals, and boat trips, giving you maximum enjoyment with zero hassle.
With direct flights to Tawau and short land and boat transfers, you’ll go from city to sea in just a few hours—ideal for long weekends or spontaneous getaways.
2. Perfect Mix of Adventure and Relaxation
Day 1 is about arrival and settling in, Day 2 is packed with snorkelling, sightseeing and island-hopping, and Day 3 lets you unwind before heading home. The itinerary balances active exploration with time to chill, making it great for couples, friends, and families alike.
You don’t need to be a certified diver to enjoy the marine wonders of Semporna. The package includes snorkelling at clear, shallow coral reefs teeming with fish, turtles, and more.
3. Instagram-Worthy Views and Underwater Marvels
Mabul and Kapalai aren’t just pretty—they’re legendary. Mabul Island is famous for its traditional Bajau Laut communities and amazing macro dive sites, while Kapalai, built on stilts above a submerged sandbar, offers dreamy villas and picture-perfect ocean views.
Whether it’s for social media or your own photo album, you’ll be bringing back some of the best island shots in Malaysia.
What to Expect on Each Island Stop
1. Mabul Island: Culture Meets Marine Biodiversity
Mabul is a small island packed with charm. During your visit, you’ll snorkel in waters rich with nudibranchs, seahorses, turtles, and clownfish, explore local villages, and enjoy beachside meals with panoramic views of the Celebes Sea.
It’s also home to floating villages of the Bajau Laut or ‘Sea Gypsies’, offering a unique cultural element that sets it apart from other island trips.
2. Kapalai Island: A Floating Resort Paradise
Unlike traditional islands, Kapalai is a sandbar-turned-luxury hideaway. There’s no beach, but the stilted wooden walkways and chalets built over shallow reefs make this one of the most surreal and serene spots in Malaysia.
Snorkelling off the decks reveals coral gardens and reef fish right beneath your feet. It’s the perfect place to snap your dream photo and enjoy a romantic moment over sunset.
3. Snorkelling, Turtle Spotting, and Sunset Views
The package includes guided snorkelling excursions with proper safety gear. You'll visit hotspots where turtles regularly surface, and if you're lucky, spot reef sharks and colourful parrotfish. In the evening, take in breathtaking sunset skies with silhouettes of stilt houses in the background.
With the tour’s pacing, you’ll have plenty of free time to swim, relax in a hammock, or sip coconut water with your toes in the sand.
A Seamless Journey from Tawau to Paradise
Your adventure begins at Tawau Airport, where TYH BORNEO TOURS staff will greet you and transfer you to Semporna jetty. From there, it’s a scenic speedboat ride to your island resort. The entire journey takes less than 2.5 hours, making this package one of the most accessible island trips in Sabah.
You’ll stay in comfortable, air-conditioned accommodations, enjoy full-board local meals, and be accompanied by experienced island guides throughout your stay. Whether you're a solo traveller or a group, the tour can be customised to suit your pace and preferences.
