Pulau Labuan Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Boat

Passenger boats (417333) are plentiful and some morning boats can fill up quickly; tickets can be bought in advance or just before departure at the relevant terminal building. You pay a 50 sen departure tax before boarding.

Car ferries go to Menumbok (RM5, two hours, three times daily) from a separate dock to the east. Speedboats (RM10) do the journey in about 30 minutes and leave roughly every hour between 8am and 4pm.

All other boat services leave from the shiny new International Ferry Terminal. Speedy passenger ferries connect Labuan to KK (economy/1st class RM31/36, two hours, four daily).

There are two daily express boats heading to Limbang (RM25, two hours) and one service to Lawas (RM25, two hours) departing every day except Tuesday and Thursday, when travellers will have to go via Sundar.

Numerous express boats go to Muara port in Brunei daily (economy/1st class RM27/33, one hour) between 8am and 4pm, returning between 7.30am and 3.30pm. From Brunei the cost is B$16/20 for economy/1st class. Note that the schedule changes regularly, and extra services may be available on weekends and public holidays, when it’s worth booking in advance.

Air

Malaysia Airlines has a desk at the airport, and currently runs regular flights to KK and KL, while FAX flies to Miri three times daily. Air Asia also has daily flights to KL, often much cheaper than Malaysia Airlines.
