Так рассказывать в общем-то нечего, мы же туда не попали... ))
Единственная контора, которую я нашла с однодневным туром на Сипадан без проживания и по вменяемой цене - у широко известного дядюшки Чанга. Переписка почему-то не сохранилась, но адрес нашла:
unclechang99@hotmail.com. Отвечает довольно быстро. На наши даты пермит был только один и мы отказались.
Все остальные втюхивают туры с проживанием по заоблачным ценам. Убило то, что чтобы гарантированно свозили один день на Сипадан, то нужно непременно взять 6-дневный тур. В 3х-дневном Сипадан не гарантируется!
Вот, к примеру, как мне отвечали на мои запросы:
