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.

Bus companies Kota Kinabalu - Semporna:

• 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.
