Travel option - Ferry to labuan island



One of the transportation option to the island is taking the car ferry which depart daily from Menumbok a small coastal town in Sabah. Departure time from Menumbok is at 10.30AM and 4.30PM. Returning from the island is at 7.30AM and 1.30PM. the journey usually takes only 1.5 hours and you can see the sister island Papan and Daat along the way. It is an enclosed air-conditioned upper deck which can get pretty cold at times especially on a rainy day. The passenger fees is affordable, only RM5 per person.If you are driving, the car fees is not more than RM60 inclusive of the landing fees. Of course the fees depends on the size of your vehicle and the carrying load.

The ferry service counter can be contacted at:

Labuan office: 087-418333
Menumbok Office: 087-831933

Usually the ferry is booked full during the long festive holidays and school holidays. Make sure you get your ticket in advance. Tickets can only be bought via the counter which can be quite inconvenient if you want to travel last minute.
