By bus

Travelling time = 4hours ; 179km

•  from Sandakan to Lahad Datu

There's a bus company called Syarikat Chin, T: 019 883 4962 that leaves from sandakan open air bus terminal at batu 2 ½ at approximately 7.30am . please make it at the terminal by 7.10am latest.

Another bus company called Sida Bus Express leaves at 7.15 am , T: 019 8737808

Passengers pay for their tickets on board the bus. It's a strange system whereby you tell the bus driver where you want to sit and then he will issue you a seat number for your ticket.

It's on a first serve basis so make sure you get there early enough.

•  from Lahad Datu to Sandakan

the same buses make a single daily return trip to Sandakan and leaves at 12.30pm .

By Van/4WD Taxi

•  from Sandakan to Lahad Datu to Sandakan

Both the van and 4WD taxis leave whenever they can fill each trip with passengers. normally for 6 persons. Otherwise, the drivers will wait and if there are not enough passengers, they may postpone the trip till the next day. Best to get to the bus terminal by 7.00am . but always more reliable to take the bus. My trip by van taxi took an extra 45min travel time because of the innumerable personal stops the driver made along the way.

Rate :

4WD - RM25 per pax

Van - RM20 per pax
