24 Hours in Malaysia’s Pirate Waters | Semporna Snorkeling Adventure 🇲🇾

24 Hours in Malaysia’s Pirate Waters | Semporna Snorkeling Adventure 🇲🇾

Description

“Avoid ALL unnecessary travel to Semporna, Malaysia,” states the UK travel warning. Pirates, kidnappings, beheadings of the tourists… unfortunately, these are the things that Semporna is infamous for. And yet, thousands of tourists descend up its streets, and travel to the shores of its islands every year to experience the magical sights that make Semporna what it is.

So of course Tim and I wanted to see what was actually going on here, and to see if we could answer the question, “Is Semporna, Malaysia really so dangerous?”
