THE DESTINATION
Sipadan and Mabul are both located on the eastern side of Sabah, Borneo, in the region of Semporna. These stunning tropical islands are only accessible by boat and Mabul is the ideal spot to reach diving in the world-famous Sipadan. Off the North Eastern coast of Borneo lies a tiny jewel of an island, Pulau Sipadan, with a marine ecosystem so perfect and unique, it is renowned as one of the best dive spots in the world. Above the water, it’s just a tiny 40-acre rainforest-covered tropical island with a white sandy beach rising from a 700-metre abyss in the Celebes Sea. It is the only oceanic island in Malaysia, having developed over thousands of years by living corals growing on top of an extinct volcanic cone. Below the water, Sipadan’s vertical topography and abundant marine life make it one of the world’s most desired destinations.
