UNiMAS Kolej Kenanga

On 25th December 2010, a group from University Malaysia Sarawak arrived at Semporna and had stayed with us-Arung Hayat Sea Adventures.  With arms wide open we welcomed and arranged some activities for them to enjoy their trip.




The next day on 26th December 2010, we brought them from mainland to Larapan Island as they wished to conduct family foster. They seems very grateful to get their own family who are being very nice to them. Lucky on that night a wedding ceremony was held. It was an opportunity to learn Bajau cultures. The ceremony was held all night long until in the morning next day.

    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.

    TRAVEL BY AIRLINES

    Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia are the famous airlines company in Malaysia. Wide route coverage around the world  and provide great hospitality and services.

    If you wish to travel using airlines, you may take your route to Tawau Airport and use taxi or bus services to Semporna.
