Routing Your Derawan Itinerary
Exploring the Derawan Archipelago demands a well-planned itinerary due to the spread of dive sites across the islands. Starting from Tanjung Batu, a speedboat journey will take you approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to Maratua Island, home to the renowned Big Fish Country, where experienced divers can brave strong currents to witness the impressive barracuda tornado. Turtle Traffic, also at Maratua, offers abundant encounters with green and hawksbill turtles. From Maratua, Derawan Island is a 30 to 45-minute speedboat ride away, where diving off the jetty provides a unique opportunity to see turtles in their natural habitat. Each location is a gateway to a distinct underwater world, making the inter-island boat trips a vital part of your diving experience.
Continuing your dive adventure, Sangalaki Island is a must-visit for manta ray enthusiasts. Known for sites like Manta Run and Manta Parade, divers can observe reef manta rays at cleaning stations and feeding lines. The journey from Derawan to Sangalaki by speedboat typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes. For those visiting between April and October, a trip to Talisayan offers the chance to swim with whale sharks around the bagans, providing a spectacular end to your diving itinerary. This route through Derawan promises diverse marine encounters, each location offering something unique, and the speedboat connections ensure a seamless transition from one aquatic wonder to the next.
