From Sandakan harbour, which is 9-10 km away from the Sandakan airport it takes about 1 hour by speedboat to get to one of the islands. It is advisable to book a seat on the boat in advance along with accommodation (in case you want to stay on an island overnight ). One of the main companies providing transport and accommodation services is the Crystal Quest. If you are lucky enough there are quite high chances to spot turtles in the sea. Be prepared for a bumpy ride in case of even a moderate wind.
