Borneo - Explore Derawan
The Perfect Tropical Paradise
Located just away from the mainland of East Kalimantan in the district of Berau, the Derawan archipelago comprises 31 islands, most well known among these are the islands of Derawan, Maratua, Sangalaki and Kakaban. Here is Indonesia’s largest nesting site of the rare and endangered giant green turtles and hawksbill turtles, where one can daily watch turtles lay their eggs in the sand or swim to sea with the turtles. The entire marine conservancy region covers a total area of no less than 1.27 million hectares. It is the perfect tropical paradise with warm, isolated islands, soft white sand beaches fringed with waving palm trees, pristine seas that change color from green to deep blue, and an amazing underwater life of giant turtles, dolphins, manta rays, dugongs and barracudas, stingless jellyfish and sometimes, whales. Here, you can find 460 different species of corals, ranking this area second only to the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua. The Nature Conservancy and a team of international experts also found more than 870 species of fish here, ranging from tiny pygmy seahorses to giant manta rays.
Maratua Island, located in the Derawan Archipelago, off the north coast of East Kalimantan, has lately risen even more in popularity as more and more tourists visit this island ever since regular charter flights have been operated from China to Tarakan in North Kalimantan. From here tourists take a speedboat right to these spellbinding islands. Among the cluster of islands in Derawan, the island of Maratua stands out for its singular beauty.
