Kapalai House Reef
★★★★☆
(2,469)
Its crystal clear waters and beautiful diving, Sipadan Island lies off the East coast of Sabah, Malaysia in the heart of the hotspot. Kapalai can be reached in just a 50 minutes by speedboat from Semporna. Sipadan-Kapalai is an ideal destination for divers and non-divers alike, seeking a great holiday experience.
Many species of nudibranch can be spoted, giant moral eel, lion fish and pipe fish as well. Turtles are so plentiful here that researchers often come to study the turtles that nest.
