Derawan Islands.. an ideal destination and a true treasure in Indonesia
Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - Are you looking for the perfect, unique and off-the-beaten-path tourist destination? In Indonesia , you can find on every island a destination that is distinct from the other islands, and the Derawan Islands are one of the perfect "treasure" destinations.
The Derawan Islands are located in East Kalimantan Province, on the Sulawesi Sea off the eastern coast of the island for the Kalimantan region, which is the Indonesian part of Bruneo Island, from which Malaysia occupies the northern part. Derawan includes three main islands: Maratua, Sangalaki and Kakapan.
You may not know that the Derawan Islands are very well known as one of the best islands in Indonesia, but what kept them distinguished as a wonderful ideal destination and a dream for many is the difficulty of accessing them.
You will take a long sigh when you reach a beautiful and charming place with the splendor of the Derawan Islands, especially since you will feel very free in the middle of nature with a small and clean village, and a small and hospitable population.
You'll enjoy the first, second, and even last sunrise you'll wish would never be, your nerves resting at every glance at the calm, clean sapphire water, with birdsong or the rustling of palms you listen to as you lie on the sand, waiting for the sun to set for another glimpse into your eyes.
You cannot spend your day just lying on the sand, with that many turtles that you can find when diving in the coral reefs, and the thing that will make you happy is the jellyfish that you can approach without stinging you.
Best time to travel to Derawan
The weather is dry during the period between May and October, so this can be considered the best time to visit the Derawan Islands, and it is also the best to see sea turtles and even contribute to protecting them with the environmental institute in charge of that.
