Mentioned Semporna and the first thing that comes to mind... DIVING!
But going there with the highest hopes ever, only to be left disappointed.. but I didn't leave Semporna empty handed, besides diving, there's other things to do, like island hopping and trying out the overhyped Fat Mom's seafood restaurant..
Bohey Dulang jetty |
Mataking Island |
Sibuan Island |
The hike up Bohey Dulang takes about 30 minutes one way, about 400m.. It's just stairs all the way with several gazebos for resting.. At the top, there is a small stall selling ice-cold soft drinks and mineral water for RM5 cash each..
Make sure you bring cash cos you will want the ice-cold drinks, trust me, even though you brought along your own water..
The view atop Bohey Dulang goes as far as the eyes can see and down into the sea below..
Was it worth the hike? Probably.. If it's not as crowded as it was..
Would I go again? NO.
Before leaving Semporna, we tried the overhyped Fat Mom's seafood restaurant in town.. Actually, its just normal, nothing to shout about, what's with all the hype online? Haven't people ate really good seafood?
Price wise is also expected and normal.. Not to say its cheap and not expensive either.. Just reasonable..
If you ask me, I really give it a NORMAL rating - meaning to say, you can miss it and not missing anything..
After leaving Semporna, we headed to Kota Kinabalu and thereafter towards Kundasang for a few more days before flying back to KL..
