Pulau Papan Di Labuan B&B





I had so many ideas on how to write this, on what to write as well as the angulation but when putting it into writing, all gone. Whooooosh, hilang pergi mana tak tau! So I guess I have to write this as what I remembered and how my mind thinks, of which might not be good. Hem…..


Anyhow… I need to make it very clear to everyone that I have never been to Labuan before this nor have I read let alone research about Labuan. My knowledge of Labuan is that it is an island (duh!) and it is somewhere near Sabah. I probably know about Tiga Island or Mantanani Island better (yeah… sad, I know), but have you heard about this 2 islands yourselves? Belum kan kan kan…. *smirk*.

It started with me getting an invitation via whatsapp to Labuan, and I agree without hesitant, requesting urgently for the itinerary as I need to know what I will be covering and what else can I do there. This is when, jeng jeng jeng…. I found out that we will be going to nearby islands (note the plural in island). ‘Wow’ I said to myself, pulau and more pulau. Interesting (I murmured). I lied, I already knew few months earlier that island hoping is one of the must do activity when in Labuan (based on a friend’s Instagram post), just that I forgot all about it. Now that I too will be going to the same island is he/them, I can show off lah kan *evil smile*.


They brought us to 2 islands – Karuman Island and Papan Island. After much thought, I figure, Papan Island would be the one for me to share (first, later on Karuman Island) as it is (i) nearer to Labuan, (ii) have a proper and well equip chalet, (iii) offers nature activity as well – ‘jungle’ trekkeing to the light house, eagle's nest and separation rock. Lastly but not least (iv) water activities – banana boat, sofa boat and PERAHU LARAI. Did I get your attention now? Here are some infos to help you plan your trip and activities.
