LABUAN lives up to its name, gardens everywhere, tree lined streets and lots of gardeners keeping it nice. This is a small island of only 95 sq. km, with only 56% developed. Coral reefs surround the island and there are four shipwrecks for divers to explore. We did a lot of walking here, found it easy to get around, the people friendly and helpful. Hired a taxi for a cheap way to see the sights. Our Hotel accommodation was excellent, located right on the waterfront.

• Pros:A lovely small island with well kept streets.
• In a nutshell:Not on the tourist trail and worth a stop
