From Semporna: Mabul and Kapalai Islands Snorkeling or Diving with Lunch

Snorkel or dive around Mabul and Kapalai in one boat trip, with lunch, water, and all essential gear included.

This is a full-day island trip from Semporna to Mabul and Kapalai with return transfers included. A lunch box is included during the experience.

Getting started

Begin your day in Semporna by checking in for your boat transfers between Semporna, Mabul, and Kapalai. After registration, board the speedboat and listen to a short safety briefing from your instructor. Once everything is confirmed and gear is allocated, you will head out by speedboat toward Mabul and Kapalai to start your water activities.

What to expect

Mabul

Mabul is one of Semporna's well-known island destinations and your first base for getting into the water. This stop is where you start exploring the clear waters and tropical marine life around the island, based on the snorkeling or diving option you selected.

Features

• Time at Mabul focuses on discovering tropical marine life in clear waters around the island, giving you a first look at the underwater environment near this destination.
• A safety briefing and instructor support help you understand the conditions and basic procedures before you snorkel or dive, so you know what to expect in the water at this stop.
• Your snorkeling or diving experience, per selected option, starts here with use of a snorkeling mask, snorkel, and life jacket, all provided so you do not need to bring basic gear.

Kapalai

Kapalai is the second island area on your route, reached by speedboat after Mabul. You continue exploring the waters around Kapalai, completing your visit to two of Semporna's well-known island destinations in one day before returning to shore.

Features

• The waters around Kapalai give you another chance to discover tropical marine life and clear water conditions, adding a different setting to your snorkeling or diving experience.
• Boat transfers between Semporna, Mabul, and Kapalai are included, so your movements between all three points and back to Semporna after the day's activities are arranged for you.
• During your time around Kapalai, you continue your selected snorkeling or diving experience, again supported by instructor oversight and the same provided snorkeling mask, snorkel, and life jacket.

Onboard experience

Between water sessions you spend time on the boat as you move between Semporna, Mabul, and Kapalai and pause to rest. This is when you refuel, rehydrate, and enjoy the inclusions that keep you comfortable through the outing.

Features

• A lunch box is provided so you can eat during the experience without needing to arrange food separately, giving you a break between time in the water.
• You receive 1.5L bottled water to stay hydrated throughout the trip, particularly between snorkeling or diving sessions and during boat journeys.
• Jetty and dock fees are already taken care of, and taxes are included in the experience price, so you do not need to handle these payments during the day.
