Report to the named Semporna jetty and verify the same operator will manage all park procedures.

Route logic

Park briefing, conditional ridge, lagoon interpretation and conservative reef stop make a balanced day.

Do not blur

Closed trails stay closed, and reef access never permits standing on coral or approaching communities without consent.

One chapter, with its edges left visible.

Bohey Dulang’s ridge and the Bodgaya lagoon system form a landscape day, not only a viewpoint photograph. Trail access and marine stops depend on park and weather decisions.
