How to get there:  Kota Kinabalu International Airport (and then Sandakan) is the main gateway to Pulau Lankayan and there are direct flights to and from Bangkok, Brisbane, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Taiwan, Kaoshiung, Singapore, Philippines, Kuala Lumpur and Brunei. Guests are collected at Sandakan Airport and taken to the jetty at for registration before being transferred to the island. The boat transfer is daily and takes between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours. To get the 10 am transfer on the same day, you need to take one of the earlier flights, arriving Sandakan before 9 am. Otherwise you can stay overnight in Sandakan and get a transfer the next morning. The once-daily boat transfer from Lankayan departs at 7 am. Guests are recommended not to book flights departing before 11 am.
- If you are arriving from Kota Kinabalu then there are daily 50 minute flights from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 departing to Sandakan on MH2042 07:05-07:45 with Malaysia Airlines, and AK6492 06:35-07:25 with Air Asia (returning on AK6491 11:10-12:00, AK6497 12:50-13:40, AK6495 16:15-17:05).
- There are also daily direct flights from Kuala Lumpur with Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines but in all cases you would need to overnight in Sandakan. Return flights are available with Air Asia on AK5189 17:00-19:45 and AK5195 20:15-23:05, and Malaysia Airlines on MH2711 14:10-17:10.
- If you plan to arrive from Sipadan then there are direct flights to/from Tawau with Malaysia Airlines but you would need to overnight in either direction.
For more information on how to get there (including airlines) see our Malaysia resorts travel section.

Dive clubs and group discounts:  5% off the package rate for 3 adults sharing in a chalet.
Groups of 9 guests or more - 1 extra person can join free of charge.

Add-on package:  Due to the dangers of flying after diving, guests often incorporate a visit to the orangutan sanctuary in Sepilok, which is conveniently located near Sandakan and close to Pulau Lankayan. If this is your only planned visit to Malaysian Borneo then we strongly recommend that you consider a 2 night add-on package at the Sepilok Nature Resort, a jungle lodge next to the sanctuary, to allow you to witness these not-to-be-missed jungle adventures with orang-utans.

Here you can see rehabilitated orangutans coming in from the open jungle to feed on bananas distributed by their human former carers. More orangutans, proboscis monkeys, macaques, elephants, crocodiles and more await you deeper in the jungle, and a few hours river cruise can take you there. With such a list of possible sightings, it is a little like scuba diving but without getting wet!
