Getting to Labuan

Lying just 8 km off the western coast of Borneo, one of the world's largest islands, Pulau Labuan is one of the most accessible islands in the world today. It is well connected by air, sea, land and via the information highway.

Malaysian Airlines and Air Asia flies daily from Kuala Lumpur, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Bandar Seri Begawan to this beautiful island. Kota Kinabalu in the Borneo state of Sabah also serves as an international gateway for Labuan with its regular flights everyday. Royal Brunei also flies direct to Labuan from Bandar Seri Begawan.

For those wishing a more leisurely and cheaper approach, high speed air conditioned ferries ply daily to Labuan from Kota Kinabalu, Sarawak and Brunei. Travelling time from Kota Kinabalu is about three hours and Brunei about one hour.

Another favourite alternative is to take the ferry from Menumbok, a small fishing town in Sabah which lies closest to Labuan.

The ferry here can accommodate trucks and passenger cars. This is the most economical and convenient "trade route" that connects Labuan and the Borneo hinterland.
