Five days at Sangalaki, Maratua and Kakaban

Indonesia Juara does not sell diving or 5-day trips; our Derawan trips are the Private Trip (3D2N or 4D3N) and the Open Trip (4D3N). They are snorkel-based; scuba diving is not included.

As general guidance, five days leave room for Sangalaki, Maratua and Kakaban, the three islands our own trips reach by speedboat on day 2. April to November is the best season; December to March is the wetter period.
