Mataking, The Gem of The Celebes Sea



Arguably one of the most attractive islands off the east coast of Sabah in the Celebes Sea, Mataking is the ultimate island paradise.



With the access from Semporna, a fishing town and also the main gateway to various islands (Mataking, Pom Pom, Kapalai, Mabul & Sipadan), it only takes 45 minutes speedboat ride to Mataking Island.





Mataking is in fact 2 islands (Mataking Besar & Kecil) connected by a sandbar. Couples can take a romantic stroll over the sandbar to Mataking Kecil to explore the pristine jungle.



On this private island, you will find the only one resort, The Reef Dive. It provides comfortable accommodation, with a superb retreat from the adventure of the rainforest. All 32 beach chalets come with spacious balconies overlooking the Celebes Sea.


Sometime you may say the brouchers display the best part of the island with software touch-ups. Nevertheless, there are breathtaking sceneries everywhere on the island, where by software doesn’t do much to enhance the photos.
