Derawan.. Beautiful Island


Now, i'm stayying at Balikpapan located at East Borneo..

And last April i'm having aholiday at Derawan Island. This island is located near Berau.
There are two ways to go there. Firstly, go to berau for 40minutes filght then tanjung batu for 2 hours using car and 30 minutes to derawan using boat. Or you can go to tarakan 30 minutes flight and 3 hours using boat from tarakan to derawan.

And all i have to say about this Island is W.O.W
The sky, sand and water was so clear... Subhanallah..

Another island near Derawan are Kakaban, Maratua, and Sangalaki. Each island is very unique. At Maratua I've found dolphins. They are so cute and always swimming together in group. Try to snorkling there and you found kinds of beautiful fish.

Snorkel at Kakaban

Kakaban.. You will find a kind hearted jellyfish. They will not sting you with electricity. They are live in a lake with a salty water.

And last island is Sangalaki. Guess what i've found at this island...was a Cute TURTLE, a baby turtle. Alhamdulillah we have a conservation for those turtle so they will survive after their mom's buried their eggs in the sand. A birth of a turtle is depend on the heat of sand. Because after turtle laying egg they will buried it in sand. Turtle is scarce animal and it means we have to preserve them, and stop making their shell as a bracelet.
Another fact that i've found that some fisherman who killed a baby shark. They take the fish fin and let the shark die in the sea.
