Sipadan, Malaysia is one of the travel cheap to paradise destinations where you can live for $16 per day while you check out one of the top 5 diving sites in the world.
I had been visiting the Sepilok Orang-Utan Rehabilitation Centre and I took the bus to Semporna for $12.00. It was a 5-hour bus ride. Semporna is on the mainland where you must go to get to Sipadan, Malaysia. In case you want to fly to see Sipadan, the nearest airport is in Tawau. The taxi to and from Tawau to Semporna is about 1 hour and costs about $25.00. Book it in advance through your hotel/hostel or the taxi driver will charge you $50.00. Still a bargain for a one-hour taxi ride.
