I arrived Tawau airport at about 8pm and I took a fixed rate taxi from airport to Semporna fro RM95 (Oct 08). See more pic for taxi receipt. There are taci to Tawau city and other places. The journey to Semporna is about 1-1.5 hours, depending how fast the driver drives. My trip was less than 1 hour.
