Joyful Adventure Travel in Derawan Island

From the island of Maratua, the tour continues to Sangalaki Island. The journey using a speedboat takes about 50 minutes. Sangalaki Island itself is an island that has status as a turtle conservation area in Derawan islands. The trip to the island of Sangalaki a bit choked up when the sea water is receding, so the speedboat have to wait for the sea water to speedboat to get right to the island Sangalaki. While waiting for the tide, we can enjoy the white sand scenery submerged by sea water. If you do not want to wait, you can walk to Sangalaki Island from where the speedboat ran aground, about 10 minutes on foot.
