for everyone

Jakarta - Balikpapan - Berau - Derawan - Maratua - Kakaban - Sangalaki
a trip organised by WWF and TNC

A beautiful sea, island, and sealife. These islands are one of the most desirable area for the sea turtles from all over the world to laid it's eggs, so you can find sea turtles easily, even from the pier. Believe it or not, the most attractive point wasn't the sea turtle itself, but thousands of jellyfishes. Yes, Kakaban Island has a evolutionary salt lake inside. It has been started to isolate from the sea nearby since 12 million years ago with it's jellyfishes. Now, you can swim with thousand of depoisoned -by nature- jellyfishes! Why they have no poison any longer? Sure because their natural predator is not exist on that site :)

I'll upload the underwater photos soon after i take it from Kodak Express.

ENJOY!

Pulau Maratua .. kayane Paradise Resort ini the best diantara beberapa resort di sekitar kepualauan Derawan. Crystal clear water! Di dermaga aja bisa lihat banyak ikan karang. Dari Angelfish sampe Parrotfish!

Nah, gua blum pernah ke Maldives, tapi kalo lihat daerah ini sih ... udah lebih dari cukup! Bener-bener paradise.
