Kalimantan (Borneo) saves a very beautiful tourist destination named Derawan Island. Besides the uniqueness of its culture, the beauty of its beaches and underwater panorama make this island is perfect as a tourist spot while on vacation. Derawan Island is located in Berau District, East Kalimantan. To reach this island, you need to book a flight departure to either at Juwata Tarakan International Airport in Tarakan or Kalimarau Airport in Berau. Either through Tarakan or Berau, you will later need to book and ride speedboat to get to Derawan Island.
Because Derawan Island is surrounded by sea, so do not be surprised if the available tourist attraction is the charm of underwater beauty and seafood culinary. However, there are some unique things that we must visit when visiting here. Clarity of the underwater Derawan island is a sensation for the marine tourism lovers in Indonesia as well as foreign tourists. What can we enjoy on Derawan Island? Let's look at the reviews!
1. Taliyasan
Have you ever been swimming in the sea accompanied by a Whale Shark? Surely this will be a very amazing experience and a little adrenaline rush. You need not be afraid because these whale sharks are plankton-eaters and harmless to humans. This whale shark is a fairly friendly animal. However, we are also not advised to take aggressive actions such as touching them or making surprising moves. Such actions can make them shocked and uncomfortable. This whale shark has a length of about 9 - 10 meters. So it would be a pity if the opportunity to swim with this giant animal is passed.
2. Labuan Cermin
After swimming with Whale Sharks in Taliyasan, it's time we moved to Labuan Mirror Lake. This
lake is also commonly called the "Lake Two Rasa", because this lake can
reflect sunlight that produces the surface of the lake as a mix of
salted lake water and freshwater lake. The lake is
very stunning because of its water clarity, so we can enjoy it by
snorkeling, swimming, or just sitting around enjoying the view of this
very blue water and the shady trees that surround it. What a sight that will make us smile wide!
3. Pulau Sangalaki
Next is Sangalaki Island. Because
the Derawan Islands is an archipelago with a cluster of 31 small
islands around it, it is certain if these islands have their own
uniqueness that must be visited. One of the uniqueness of
the island that has an area of about 15.9 hectares is the largest
breeding ground for turtles in Southeast Asia. When the sea water is tide at night, this tortoise will go ashore. In addition, the island is also known as a stingray habitat that will come here to feed their plankton. The stingrays will appear from all directions, and generally appear from the north side of Sangalaki Island.
4. Pulau Kakaban
Another interesting Island in Derawan Islands is Kakaban Island. Island
that has attracted many local and foreign tourists is a lake that
was formed at the time of antiquity, exactly 2 million years ago. The lake was formed due to incoming sea water mixed with groundwater and rain. Because the island's high cliff wall reaches approximately 50 meters, sea water can not enter into the lake. Therefore,
this condition is very good for the jellyfish habitat that makes
Kakaban Island is also famous for its swimming with jellyfish tour. However, you need not be afraid, because the jellyfish here is a harmless jellyfish. So do not miss the chance to swim with this amazing animal!
