Overview

Explore Timba-timba, Mataking, and Pandanan's stunning coastline and islets. Discover the island's secret marine life in gorgeous blue seas by swimming, snorkeling, or DSD diving.

A speedboat will take the group from the Semporna jetty to Timba Timba site. Ideal for exploration with calm waters that everyone can enjoy, explore the many nearby reefs. Before entering the water, you'll get safety instructions. Put on your gear and practise in shallow water to gain confidence. Swimming with rare tropical fish is also possible.

After that, have a lovely home-cooked lunch. Take it easy and enjoy the trip. Mataking Island is the second stop. It has a lovely beach where you can swim or dive into the clear blue water. Pandanan Bay is the third and last destination. Enjoy a swim or unwind in the beautiful blue sea, and take some time to explore the beach. The boat journey and free time may last longer depending on weather and sea currents. We'll return to the dock after the third island.
