Semporna 3-Island Day Tour | Stunning Islands of Bohey, Mantabuan and Sibuan
Your Semporna 3-Island Day Tour begins at Seafest Jetty in Semporna, right beside the Seafest Hotel. As the morning breeze fills the jetty, you’ll check in and prepare for a full day of island exploration.
Once ready, a speedboat journeys across the turquoise waters of Tun Sakaran Marine Park toward Bohey Dulang Island. Here, a guided hike leads you to the island’s iconic summit viewpoint — a breathtaking sight of deep-blue lagoons surrounded by lush volcanic landscapes.
After descending from Bohey Dulang, the adventure continues to the serene Mantabuan Island. Known for its incredible water clarity, this stop offers a vibrant snorkelling experience among colourful coral gardens and tropical marine life. The peaceful atmosphere and untouched underwater scenery make Mantabuan a standout highlight of your day.
The journey then brings you to Sibuan Island, a picture-perfect paradise with soft white sands and crystal-clear waters. You can relax under the sun, take a refreshing swim, or enjoy a final snorkelling session before heading back.
As the afternoon settles in, the Semporna 3-Island Day Tour concludes with a smooth ride back to Seafest Jetty, leaving you with a day filled with adventure, stunning views, and unforgettable island moments.
