This story about the Lato Lato Resort and Semporna itinerary is written by one of our contributors, Nuryanie. Some parts of the article may have been edited for length and clarity. 

My travel experience at Lato Lato Resort in Semporna, Sabah, is indeed is one of the best I have had so far. This short story is about my trip with my husband and friends including the itinerary at Semporna for 3D2N.

3D2N Itinerary

In 2019, we went to Semporna by driving from Kota Kinabalu and it took around 8 hours to reach Semporna. We arrived there in the evening. As soon as we arrived, the boat was already waiting there to bring us to Lato Lato Resort where it took around 1 hour and 30 minutes from the jetty to reach there.

On our second day, we went to Bohey Dulang which is famous for their hiking spot with a height of 600m.

Fortunately, the weather on that day was so fine and our hiking activities went smoothly. As we arrived at the top, the scenery from above made us speechless.

It was so amazing being up there and the beautiful scenery will make your jaw drop!

After a few minutes on top of Bohey Dulang, we decided to climb down and proceed to our next destination which is Pulau Mantabuan. The place is famous with their beautiful corals, turtles and many species of conrak fish. Snorkeling here is such a fun experience as you can play around with the fish and enjoy the coral view as long as you want. After snorkeling, we had lunch there provided by the resort.

Then, we proceeded to our next destination - Sibuan, Mataking and Pom-Pom Islands. Famous for their wondrous crystal clear blue waters, they will definitely make you amazed. Not to forget the scenery on the island is enough to make you forget about all of your problems. The ocean breeze cooled me down, and my heartbeat was synced to the movement of the tide. This place is unforgettable and I will surely visit this place again soon!
