How to go: Take a 2.5 hour flight from Singapore to Kota Kinabalu (AirAsia). From there, you can take a 2 hour boat ride to Tiga Island. Take note that the boat ride passes an open sea and waters may be choppy. A recommended alternative is to do a 2.5 hour drive from Kota Kinabalu to Kuala Penyu town, then take a 20 minute boat ride to Tiga Island.
When to go: The west coast of Sabah is less affected by the monsoon season, so it is good to go throughout the year.
