We opted for a customised island hopping package where it covers Bohey Dulang Island, Mentabuan Island and Sibuan Island. For the 180° breathtaking view of Bohey Dulang, hiking of 650 meters above sea level is required. A pair of good hiking shoes are highly recommended. No open toes shoes are permitted, for safety purpose. Do not wear sports shoes as the trail is muddy and slippery. Good news is you could rent a pair of hiking shoes with brand new pair of socks for RM10.
Bohey Dulang Island is located within the perimeter of Tun Sakaran Marine Park. The breathtaking view from the hill top was absolutely amazing. The island hopping package included lunch in the boat at Mentabuan Island before snorkelling. The colourful coral reefs were spectacular in sight. We managed to spot a few Nemos playing amongst the coral.
Lastly, we headed to Sibuan Island where you could take aplenty of photos with the clear turquoise coloured sea water and white sandy beach. Clear Kayak canoe was provided for free as well. Snorkelling around Sibuan Island was rather disappointing as many corals were dead and lifeless. However, it doesn't deter us from enjoying the beautiful sea view.

Go with an experienced diving operator familiar with the area like Semporna Scuba for a macro extravaganza. For the record I'm not affiliated with the latter but have enjoyed diving with them several times. Visibility varies a fair bit & has been moderate the times I've dived there. Much of the reef has regenerated well from earlier fish...
