I want to travel to Malaysia in November. If I look at the guide for island tours, the focus is on Mermaid Island, Sipadan, and Kapalai. Which one is better?

Mermaid Island is in the north of Sabah, and Sipadan and Kapalai are in the south of Sabah. It takes 7-10 hours by bus and about an hour by plane.

Mermaid Island (that is, near the capital - Kota Kinabalu) is a regular tourist destination, suitable for vacations and itineraries;

Sipadan and Kapalai are suitable for diving, nature and The purpose is different, so you have to set a goal first;

We usually recommend learning to get the diving OW or AOW certificate near Kota Kinabalu (Mermaid Island), and then go there for the second time, near Sipadan. Specialize in diving, so the cost is low;

In addition, accommodation is not allowed in Sipadan, so you usually stay in Kapalai or other resorts, but the price is very expensive, it should be around 1,500 RMB, per day We don't think it's necessary to stay at the beach house in "Semporna". The price will be much cheaper. You can change the itinerary of four nights and six nights to eight nights and ten nights. This way, the cost is about the same and you can have more fun. .

The key is that diving is strictly prohibited within 24 hours after getting on and off the plane, so the two days of arrival and departure are basically free.
