About this experience

Experience the Derawan Archipelago in complete privacy on this exclusive private trip with Go Explore Indonesia. Unlike the open trip, this package is exclusively for your group — meaning your own private speedboat, guide and flexible schedule throughout the 3-day 2-night or 4-day 3-night experience.

The Derawan Archipelago in East Kalimantan is one of Indonesia's most biodiverse marine destinations, covering 5 islands and 12 outstanding attractions including the Kakaban jellyfish lake, the Sangalaki sea turtle and manta ray sanctuary, and the pristine reefs of Maratua.

Pricing is per person and varies based on group size — the more people in your group, the lower the per-person price. Choose from the Tanjung Batu, Berau or Tarakan meeting points. Departures every Friday and Sunday.
