I made a separate entry for those who are just trying to look up ways to get to Pulau Tiga from Kota Kinabalu, disregarding budget constraints. On the other hand, here's how I did this trip for a lot less. If you don't wanna be bothered by the adventure and thrill of going through all this, let's save you the trouble, shall we?
Months prior to my trip, I emailed every agency based in Sabah that I can google and below are the packages based on their response for solo travelers staying at the resort for 2D1N -- As of June 2014
Rates:
- Standard Room: MYR 595

There are other expenses in the island that you may want to set aside budget for such as island hopping to the surrounding islands, other resort amenities not included on the package, restaurant food, liquor. Make sure you bring enough cash. Enjoy your trip! :)
