Messier M45

Maybe because it is off-season, so basically it's a package tour. I signed up for a double island snorkeling. The coach is very nice. Bang Bang Island itself has a very rich school of fish and coral reefs. I saw turtles visiting here every day. There is a low tide every day, and the exposed shallows can be walked to, which is very beautiful. The water house environment is very good, but the facilities are relatively old. Pay attention to mosquito repellent in the house. The mosquito coils brought by the hotel seem to be useless. There are motor sounds and air conditioning sounds are also very noisy. For example, I have to wear earplugs when I sleep. Lunch and dinner are not provided free of charge now, and it may be off-season. Breakfast is also made to order. There are not many types but the taste is good. If you order at your own expense, the price is acceptable. It is definitely a large amount of food, so don't order too much. Chinese service is almost equal to no, but basic English is fun. In addition, pay attention to the island transfer to the hotel to make an appointment by sending an email. You may be late for boarding at noon because of waiting for someone. It takes 1-1.5 hours from Tawau Airport to the tourist pier by land, and 40 to 50 minutes on the water. So when booking air tickets, refer to the time provided by the hotel. In fact, there is a certain margin. We left because we were the only ones there. The hotel provided free late check-out and negotiated the departure time for the boat. In addition, I would like to give you some travel advice: you must carry cash with you or have someone to watch over it, especially if you are going to the water for a long time.
