About this place
Mabul Island lies offshore from Semporna and is particularly well known among divers and underwater photographers for the small marine creatures found around its reef environment. Beyond diving, visitors may book snorkelling trips, enjoy island views and explore the setting of a lived-in coastal community. It offers a different experience from a single managed beach park: resorts, dive centres, island businesses and village areas have their own arrangements.
Sabah Tourism Board describes Mabul as approximately a 45-minute boat ride from Semporna town jetty, but the actual route, boarding point and journey time depend on the tour operator and sea conditions. Arrange transport with a licensed operator or accommodation provider before travelling. A diving or snorkelling package may include some transfers and equipment while other charges are separate; confirm the full inclusions rather than assuming a standard island-wide ticket.
Visitor information: There are no verified universal island visiting hours or one island-wide entrance price, so those fields are intentionally left blank. Day-trip access to resorts, private jetties, boats and organised activities can differ. Diving and snorkelling are weather-dependent, and marine wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Treat the local village respectfully and ask permission before photographing residents. Mabul is a separate destination from Sipadan; a Mabul booking does not automatically include Sipadan diving access.
马布岛（Pulau Mabul）位于仙本那外海，以珊瑚礁环境及丰富的小型海洋生物闻名，尤其受到潜水员和水下微距摄影爱好者欢迎。除了潜水，游客也可通过业者安排浮潜活动、欣赏海岛景色，并认识当地海边社区的生活环境。马布岛并非统一管理的单一海滩公园，岛上度假村、潜水中心、商家及村落均有各自的访客安排。
根据沙巴旅游局的介绍，从仙本那镇码头乘船前往马布岛一般约需 45 分钟，但实际登船地点、路线及航程取决于所预订的业者与海况。建议出发前向持牌旅游业者或住宿经营方安排船只接送。不同潜水及浮潜配套所包含的船费、装备和其他项目可能不同，不应假设全岛实行统一门票或配套收费。
访客须知：目前没有可靠资料显示马布岛有适用于所有游客的统一开放时间或单一门票，因此不填写这类结构化资料。度假村、私人码头、船只及预订活动的访客权限可能各不相同。潜水及浮潜须视天气和海况安排，也不能保证看见特定海洋生物。参观村落时应尊重当地居民的生活，并在拍摄人物前征求同意。马布岛与西巴丹岛是不同目的地，预订马布岛行程不代表自动取得西巴丹潜水许可。
