Life on Mabul Island

Peaceful, simple, & happy - that's life at Mabul Island...

I was only a short walk towards the Mabul main island (SWV is on the sea, not on the island itself), & we were very privileged to have Nazbar as our local guide into the village/island. Life at Mabul island is pretty self-sufficient. You have your usual shops, police station, school, & yes, the sea is right out there for some load of fresh seafood *yums!*

Here are some photos taken during my 'lil tour into the island ;) Enjoy!

Walk from SWV towards Mabul island

Lil stalls at Mabul island selling souvenirs...cheap!

Newly painted boat...fuh, nice :)

The village houses

The one & only police station...that's why Mabul island is so peaceful!

Local food stalls at the village

The one & only school on the island

Sipadan-Mabul Resort (SMART)...quite nice, but it doesn't face the sea directly

My excellent snorkeling-guide, Nazbar

With him around, I learned & saw so much more at Sipadan! So, very thankful for him :D He took us around the island where he stays as well....ah, syiok!

TURTLE!

We caught the sight of this turtle right outside the SWV's restaurant after dinner...wheeeeeeee! Happie!! :D

Enjoying my last evening here :(
