About Your Bohey Dulang Snorkeling Tour
- The Bohey Dulang off the coast of Sabah is one of those rare places where it is more majestic in person than in the pictures.
- The sea gypsies around this area claimed that this is the island where a princess, named Salamia were hidden, on run from a notorious Philippines Sultan. But she eventually vanished in the wilderness and turned into a spirit.
- Also called the Treasure Island, Bohey Dulang was off limit and heavily guarded as it was used as a pearl farm until 1993. But even after it was opened, the sheer distance and the logistics and from the main Sabah airport makes going here difficult.
