08:45 Hrs: Kickstart your morning with a hearty local breakfast at a charming restaurant in town. Savour Sabah’s unique flavours, whether it’s a comforting bowl of spicy Tom Yam with fresh seafood, a classic Kaya toast with local ‘pulled tea’ (Teh Tarik), or a more familiar Western-style breakfast. Take this time to relax and soak in the vibrant morning atmosphere of Lahad Datu.
09:30 Hrs: After breakfast, embark on a scenic 40-minute drive to the Silam Coast Conservation Area (SCCA), a protected marine sanctuary under Sabah Parks. This untouched coastal haven is renowned for its submerged karst formations and flourishing coral reefs, serving as a vital ecological bridge between the ocean and the towering Mount Silam.

11:00 Hrs: Leaving the misty heights of Mount Silam, take a short drive to Tumunong Hallu Jetty, where a boat awaits to whisk you off to the magnificent Blue Rings Reef (BRR).
12:00 Hrs: Next, journey to Pulau Tabun, an uninhabited island teeming with birdlife. This small, unspoiled island is home to the elusive Philippine Megapode (‘Tambun’ bird).
12:30 Hrs: Continue your maritime adventure to Pulau Baik, home to a historic Japanese Shipwreck known as Maiden Oasis.
13:00 Hrs: After a morning of adventure, enjoy a well-deserved seafood feast at Payang Beach. Indulge in a selection of local delicacies, featuring Flavors that blend sweet, spicy, sour, and savoury elements, all while taking in the stunning beachfront views.
14:30 Hrs: As the afternoon unfolds, return to Tumunong Hallu Beach. A relaxing hi-tea session will be served as you soak in the sun-kissed atmosphere before heading back. Shower and changing facilities are available for your comfort.
16:00 Hrs: As the day’s explorations come to a close, return to Lahad Datu and check in to your hotel for the night. The remainder of the evening is yours to spend at leisure – explore the town, enjoy a quiet dinner, or simply rest and reflect on an incredible day of adventure.
07:00 Hrs: Good morning! Enjoy breakfast at your hotel as you reflect on your coastal and underwater adventures.
Afterwards, check out and transfer to Lahad Datu Airport for your onward flight.
