LANKAYAN ISLAND SANDAKAN SABAH MALAYSIA

With brilliant, powdery white sandy beaches, the small island of Lankayan is reminiscent of the

Maldives. The beach resort is environmentally conscious, being instrumental in having the

surrounding waters protected and declared a national marine park. It's also the only resort on

the island, meaning you can unwind and feel at one with nature.

The highlight of Lankayan diving is from March to May each year, when you have the

not-to-be-missed chance to dive with whale sharks. There's also a great jetty dive in

very clear water with thousands of glassfish, lionfish and a wreck. At the end of the

jetty are some sun loungers where you can go to sit and watch the sun set over this

picturesque island.

The shallow reefs are really fantastic for snorkelling. When the tide is up you can watch

blacktip sharks swimming around in the shallows along the beach.

Lankayan has been steadily growing in reputation and is beginning to emerge from the

huge shadow of Sipadan. Much less crowded, the island has only one resort and much

more of a desert island feel to it. Covered by thick tropical island vegetation on its topside,

this peaceful, untouched little piece of paradise is ringed by an endless pure white sandy beach.

Lankayan Island is a small island, fully covered with tropical vegetation, featuring tall

casuarina trees and pandan screwpine. The island is pristine, not having suffered human

occupation for long, so the beaches and clean clear waters are free of the curse of plastic.

Destinations: Lankayan Island. No diving on day of departure.

Resort diving includes: Dives, boat rides, unlimited beach and night diving

(with a buddy only), experienced English-speaking divemaster(s) for maximum

ten divers (max. fifteen divers per boat), refreshments, tanks, weights and

weightbelts. Marine park fees are approx. US$ 5.50 per person per day,

are payable in advance. Diving equipment can be rented on arrival.

Resort accommodation (based on two share) includes: Bed, breakfast,

lunch and dinner, Sandakan Airport - resort return transfers. Prices are based

on twin share accommodation. If you are a single diver you must pay single supplement.

How to get there: The resort is located on Lankayan Island, a 1½ hour boat

ride from the jetty at Sandakan. The resort will provide a return transfer from

Sandakan to Lankayan. There are daily short flights to Sandakan from Kota Kinabalu and Tawau.

Sightseeing and Things to do

Lankayan is favoured by couples seeking a romantic getaway, and those who want to

dive in unheralded waters away from the hordes. There is little in the way of organised

fun, but that is Lankayan's charm.

Many describe their time here as like being in a nature documentary, where at night

dancing fireflies, swooping fruitbats and turtle hatchlings scurrying to the sea all

delight the guests. Add to this the amazing diving and snorkelling sights such

as numerous baby black tip sharks, and you can see why you might leave sounding

like David Attenborough.

Due to the dangers of flying after diving, guests often overnight in Sandakan before

taking any onward flights, and often incorporate a day or two visiting the orang utan

santucary in Sepilok, near Sandakan. You can stay at a jungle lodge in Sepilok

which is next to the orangutan sanctuary. Add on packages are available. Here you

can see rehabilitated orangutans coming in from the open jungle to feed on bananas

distributed by their human former carers. More orangutans, proboscis monkeys,

macaques, elephants, crocodiles and more await you deeper in the jungle and

a few hours river cruise can take you there. With such a list of possible sightings

it is a little like diving without getting wet. Borneo's natural wonders abound

above and below and all are more than worth a look

rooms, beds, bathrooms, views...

Lankayan Island Dive Resort has 16 chalets, some on the beach and others overlooking

the virgin rainforest. It also has 8 standard rooms, which comprise two clusters

of four rooms each under one roof.

All the accommodations have:

· Air-conditioning

· Private balcony

· Private bathroom with hot water shower and bath (standard rooms have bath only)

· Toiletries and towels

· Bedside lamps and mirror

· Mosquito netting

· 220 V power points

· Seating area

Lankayan Island Dive Resort (LIDR) is a much acclaimed tropical island paradise resort offering everything from small number of guests, great beaches, superior rooms and food, and fantastic macroworld diving around more than thirty dive sites, including two wrecks.

After a dive, the place for relaxation is the upper lounge which overlooks the western beach and jetty. Here, the tourist can enjoy some sun with a favorite cool drink. A TV room is available for viewing the day's video shots or other footages and a small over the counter shop offers film, batteries and toiletries.

Lankayan Scuba Diving Sites

Jawfish Lair

Robust staghorn coral, fine table coral, bush coral, maze coral, lobed pore coral covered with

Christmas tree worms, mushroom coral and bubble coral. These are just a few of the varied and

colourful hard coral varieties fused together to create the perfect home for all manner of critters

at Jawfish Lair.

Recently declared a National Marine Park, this is one of the best loved Lankayan dive sites.

You'll really appreciate the expert eye of your Divemaster as he guides you straight to the

modest home of the resident yellow jawfish at about 28 metres in depth who, if you are lucky,

will have a mouthful of eggs. This makes for a photo opportunity that will wow your land-lubbing chums.

That is not all there is to see here. Often you can watch the chameleonic behaviour of the

mimic octopus. Venture here and there and you could be rewarded with other examples

of macro heaven such as rare nudibranchs, ghost pipefish, frogfish, cuttlefish and devil

scorpionfish. Don't think that it's only small stuff here though. Be on the look out for

stingrays in the sand and resting leopard sharks that frequent many of Lankayan's diving sites.

Lankayan Wreck

Dive down onto a wreck that was once engaged in the odious practice of fish poaching.

There is a certain pleasure to be had from the thought of how this craft now harbours all

manner of fish whose only imminent worry is being assaulted by the sight of some divers

in garishly coloured wetsuits.

This Lankayan diving site is quite a shallow wreck, so is suitable for most levels of divers

to peep around at the lurking cardinals, groupers and yellow sea perch. Pay attention here

and you will be the first to spot the resident ornate ghostpipefish who calls this wreck home.

Given that macro diving is Lankayan's specialty it is not surprising that the visibility here is

not amazing. However it is always worth keeping an eye on the blue for some big stuff

passing by. Huge bump-headed parrotfish and barracuda are common as are the mighty whale

sharks between March and May.

Jetty Wreck

This site is an artificial reef, made from the wreck of a small fishing boat, located

right in front of the jetty. Just giant stride off the jetty at any time of the day, descend

and follow the guide rope to this Lankayan diving wreck. Within minutes of descending

into the waters, you'll come across a school of batfish and sometimes a school of jacks

as well. The wreck itself it home to a couple of frogfish - you can find them on the rope

around the wooded pyramids.

Other life on board are groupers, blue spotted sting rays, cuttlefish, scorpionfish and

ghostpipefish. As well as that, within a lone anemone, you'll find a family of anemonefish.

Also considered a good location for night diving, nocturnal visits will bring you up against

more frogfish and other reef life.

On your return to the jetty, spend some time around the coral encrusted pillars, home to

families of beautiful but dangerous common lionfish. They make willing subjects for

photographers and the shallow, clear waters are perfect for sharpening your photographic skills.

Mosquito Wreck

Mosquito Wreck is one of Lankayan Island's three wreck diving sites. The ship was

once part of the Mosquito Fleet maintained by the Japanese during World War Two.

The wreck itself has some great items of interest - from the bow gun which still

remains intact to other bits and pieces of its original cargo. As for fish life,

around the surrounding waters you might come across schools of jacks and

barracuda, with the occasional manta ray even whale sharks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What languages do people speak in Malaysia?

Bahasa Melayu may be the official language of the country but English is very

widely spoken and is in fact the language of business in Malaysia. Bahasa Melayu

uses the Romanic alphabet and there are many words which sound the same as

English although their spelling may be a little different, e.g. you can find a 'teksi'

outside the 'restoran'.

Is it hot in Malaysia?

Malaysia enjoys tropical climate with warm and balmy weather all year round.

Temperatures range from 21°C to 32°C. Annual rainfall varies from 2,000 mm to

2,500 mm. Humidity level is at an average of 80% throughout the year. Loose

light clothing is the order of the day and plenty of sunscreen is always a

good idea when holidaying or diving in the tropics.

What about the wet season?

Malaysia has a wet season and a dry season. It all depends where you intend

to go. Sabah eastern coast (including Pulau Sipadan) can be dived whole

year round even during the less settled November to March period. Heavier

rains can be felt only during typhoons around the region but diving condition

is still acceptable. Sabah western coast - dry months are from January to May,

wet months are from June to December. West Peninsular Malaysia - dry months

are from November to March, wet months are from April to October due to the

southwest monsoon. East Peninsular Malaysia - dry months are from April to

October, wet months are from November to March due to the northeast monsoon.

Malaysia is a Muslim country. What about alcohol?

Malaysia has a great number of Muslims. It also has a great number of Christians,

Buddhists and other religions. Although the government is Muslim, Malaysian

society is not ruled by Shia law but is a model of secular tolerance. All religions

are respected here and only in one or two states on the Peninsula is alcohol not

permitted. In Sabah in particular the mix of religions is very widespread and alcohol

is not frowned upon (except when you see the price in some of the classier places!).

What is the currency?

The Malaysian Ringgit is the currency here and its value generally hovers around

3.6 to 4 RM to the US$, around 4.5 RM to the Euro and around 6.5 RM to the GBP.

Tourists are free to bring in any amount of foreign currency or travelers cheques.

However, tourists would need to seek approval if the amount of foreign currency

to be carried abroad exceeds the amount brought into Malaysia and if the amount

to be taken out is more than the equivalent of US$ 2,500. Tourists must also obtain

permission and declare Ringgit exceeding RM 1,000 being brought into or out of Malaysia.

Are things cheap in Malaysia?

Some things are very inexpensive such as food, clothes and there are some

great deals on accommodation. Other things like alcohol and dive gear rental

are not as great value, but both are often essential.

What about the risk of Malaria?

This depends where you will be visiting. If you simply arrive in Kuala Lumpur,

Kota Kinabalu or Tawau and proceed to your diving destination then there appears

to be very little danger. If however you are going to spend time in the jungles and

wetlands of Malaysia it is probably wise to take suitable precautions. So consult

your doctor before travelling.

How can I travel from the Malay Peninsula to Sabah and Sarawak?

Geographically, Malaysia consists of the Peninsula and the states of Sabah and

Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Travel between the two regions is by air.

Malaysia Airlines and Air Asia have regular flights from Kuala Lumpur to cities

and towns in Sabah and Sarawak. Please check out our tourist information sections for details.

Is Borneo undeveloped?

Most first time visitors to SABAH are amazed at how modern and progressive

the state is. Many imagine Borneo to have little in the way of modern buildings

or infrastructure. While the wild natural Borneo exists in certain areas, the state

capital of Kota Kinabalu is a thriving modern town. All mod cons exist here including

luxury hotels, golf courses, fast food outlets, bars, restaurants, clubs and internet cafes.

I am a beginner - Is diving in Sipadan only for experts?

There is a huge drop-off in SIPADAN which calls for buoyancy control if you do not

want to disappear forever into the depths. No operators conduct Open Water Diver

courses here for this reason. That said the conditions are normally not very difficult

in and around Sipadan and it can be enjoyed by divers of all levels. If you do wish to

become certified in Sabah we recommend you take your PADI Open Water Diver

Course in Kota Kinabalu, where you can concentrate on mastering the basics.

Then when you come to dive in Mabul and Sipadan you can enjoy all the sights

without being too concerned about your equipment, buoyancy etc.

Where is the best place to stay to dive Sipadan, now that the island is closed to tourists?

The nearby island of MABUL and the sandbar of KAPALAI provide the best

locations in which to stay for diving in Sipadan. The resorts are long established

and comfortable and of course boat journey times are greatly reduced

(around 20-25 minutes). Currently there is no really viable mainland

alternative as the boat journey time is more than one hour from Semporna.

I read somewhere that Sipadan is not safe - is it?

In the year 2000 some people were kidnapped from Sipadan by the

Philippine separatist movement, Abu Sayyaf. Since then security in

the region has been beefed up considerably. Although you may

see no evidence of it during your stay, there is a large Malaysian

military presence in the area both on land and at sea. The Malaysian

government realises how important the Sipadan area is to their tourism

industry and have taken serious measures to protect the area and those

visiting. Any repeat of 2000 seems almost impossible given the current levels of protection.

Is there anything to do for the non-diver?

Malaysia in general and Sabah in particular has a lot more to do than

diving and it is worth extending your time as much as possible to add

some of these wonderful experiences to your trip. ORANG UTAN,

proboscis monkeys, snakes, elephants, macaques, crocodiles, hornbills and

many more beautiful species of wildlife can be seen in the interior of Sabah

and many of them in the peninsular rainforests too. In Borneo the diving

destinations such as Sipadan, Mabul and Layang Layang are exactly that - diving destinations.

There isn't a wealth of things to do for the non-diver there, but in Sabah itself there are

more activities than you could wish for. Mountains, jungles, rafting, trekking,

nature in every hue as well as beaches, watersports, golf, mountain-biking ... the list goes on ...

Where else can we dive in Borneo other than Sipadan?

Borneo divers have a tremendous range of world-class diving available and the

island is now becoming recognised as one of the best locations around for a few weeks

dive safari. Combining Layang Layang, Lankayan and the Sepilok Orangutan sanctuary

with Sipadan - Mabul would probably amount to one of the best extended diving holidays imaginable.

A jewel-like tiny island in the Sulu Sea, an hour & a half boat transfer's north of Sandakan.

The normal route to the island is through Kota Kinabalu International Airport. From there,

little bit of paradise is ringed by an endless pure white sandy beach, offering simply elegant and

exquisite accommodation in a handful of wooden, roomy and perfectly appointed seafront double-occupancy

chalets. Meals are informally served at the central open building, which boasts an amazingly beautiful open-air

wooden terrace, the ideal spot for after dinner, relaxation and chatting, all the while admiring the dozens of juvenile

blacktip sharks swimming leisurely a few feet beneath. While the ideal destination for those who search tranquility

Maldives. The beach resort is environmentally conscious, being instrumental in having the

the island, meaning you can unwind and feel at one with nature.

The highlight of Lankayan diving is from March to May each year, when you have the
