A small island with a layered past, a lively waterfront and a marine park offshore. Choose a couple of stops and leave room for the crossing.
Labuan is a Malaysian Federal Territory off Sabah’s coast, not a fifth mainland Borneo region. Plan the arrival separately, then choose between a town-and-heritage day, the Tanjung Kubong landscape or a weather-dependent boat trip to Labuan Marine Park.

Start with your actual arrival point. Air and sea routes have different terminals and transfer needs; the direct Jesselton Point Labuan service is currently listed as suspended, so verify before travelling. If using Menumbok, count the road transfer and ferry as one journey and confirm the return as well.
On Labuan, group town and wartime heritage stops together, then give Tanjung Kubong its own half-day. Treat Labuan Marine Park as a separate day that depends on a confirmed boat and suitable sea conditions. The guides below are planning starting points, not live schedules; check current access and opening information with the linked local sources.
Compare flights with the Menumbok road-and-ferry route. Jesselton Point lists its direct Labuan service as suspended; check operator notices, terminals and current ticket rules before setting out.
Ask which islands a local boat can reach on your date, what facilities are available and how the crew handles weather changes. Keep the outing reef-conscious and allow a full day for transfers and return.
Give the Chimney and nearby Tanjung Kubong landscape their own half-day. Check museum and site access first, then arrange a return ride before leaving town.
