Perhaps you still don't know how to get here in Semporna. If you are from Kota Kinabalu and wish to use bus services, you may go to Inanam Bus Station and choose several bus companies to hop on. 

Bus companies Kota Kinabalu - Semporna:

• Dyana Bus

• Manis Enterprise &

• Madsahirun Bus 

Travel using bus takes a long journey (Kota Kinabalu - Semporna)  takes 8-9 hours. Basically most of the bus companies have two period of scheduling their trip which are in the morning and evening.

• Morning- Depart at 7.30am/ Arrive at 4.30 pm
• Evening- Depart at 7.30pm/  Arrive at 4.30 am

Tips: Whether you travel in the morning or evening please bring along your jacket, sweater or blanket because it is cold inside the bus especially Dyana Bus and Manis Enterprise.

As personal recommendations we recommend you to choose Manis Enterprise. Instead of providing brand new buses to its customer, the price is also reasonable and affordable.

This gateway to beautiful islands is located in the Tawau Division, in the East Coast of Sabah. It is known as an illustrious scuba diving and snorkeling spot. Semporna town is mainly populated by the Bajau Laut ethnic community, otherwise known as the Sea Gypsies—many of whom live in sprawling stilt villages above the water or inside the traditional Lepa boats.

The Regatta Lepa traditional boat race is held here annually in April. Semporna was also the finishing line of the Eco-challenge: Borneo, which was held in 2000. Off the coast is the Tun Sakaran Marine Park, also known as Semporna Islands Park which was gazetted by Sabah Parks in 2004.
