Semporna, located in the northeast corner of Borneo, the third largest island in the world, is famous for its remoteness and inconvenient transportation, so many people think that it takes a lot of money to see the world-class islands, beaches and corals.
Most people simply announce that they don't understand the mode of transportation. However, I always walked one by one and found that it was surprisingly simple and cheap. This article is organized for airfare, transportation, travel planning, and budgeting.
