How much does a Bali to Derawan trip cost?

The Derawan portion, as a private trip, starts from USD 1,290 in total for two guests on a 3D2N (standard tier) and from USD 2,190 on a 4D3N; larger groups pay less each. Flights from Bali and Bali accommodation are not included.

How many days do I need?

Plan 8 to 10 days: 2 to 3 in Bali on arrival, a transit day north, the 3D2N or 4D3N Derawan trip, a transit day back and a buffer day in Bali before your international departure.

What is the best time of year?

April to November is the best season in Derawan; December to March is the wetter period. Bali works year-round, so the Derawan half sets your dates: book it first and fit the Bali days around it.

Can I combine Komodo and Derawan?

Yes, with Bali as the hinge. Allow 12 to 14 days. The two legs are quoted separately because they run on different vessels, operators and seasonal calendars.

Does the Derawan package include flights from Bali?

No. It covers the Derawan ground package from Kalimarau Airport. International flights, domestic flights between Denpasar and Berau, Bali hotels and personal spending are not included; Indonesia Juara does not sell Bali packages or flights.

Tour Packages · From Bali

Bali to Derawan, one combined trip

Fly (booked by you) from Denpasar to Kalimarau Airport (BEJ) in Berau, where we meet you, then continue overland and by boat into the Derawan Archipelago on a private 3D2N or 4D3N trip.

Derawan trip lengths: 3D2N · 4D3N

Derawan best season: Apr – Nov

Getting there

Fly to Kalimarau, then road and speedboat

Most guests do Bali first, arriving internationally, then fly (booked by you) to Kalimarau Airport (BEJ) in Berau, where we meet you.

Leg	Route	Notes
Flight	Denpasar → Kalimarau (BEJ), Berau	Domestic; booked by you, not included
Road	Kalimarau (BEJ) → Tanjung Batu	About 2.5 – 3 h, part of the Derawan package
Speedboat	Tanjung Batu → Derawan	About 40 min

Because the Derawan trip begins and ends at Kalimarau, it is priced on its own with a published rate structure. Indonesia Juara does not sell Bali packages or flights.

How an 8 to 10 day Bali Derawan combo runs

A common pattern for travellers who combine the two. Indonesia Juara runs only the Derawan part; the Bali days and flights are yours to book.

2 – 3 days
Bali arrival and recovery
International arrival into Denpasar, jet lag recovery and Bali activities.
1 day
Transit north
Fly (booked by you) from Denpasar to Kalimarau (BEJ), the meeting point; arriving the day before is recommended.
3D2N or 4D3N
Derawan private trip
Islands, lakes and snorkel sites. Book return flights from 15:00 on the last day.
1 day
Transit south
Fly (booked by you) from Kalimarau back to Denpasar.
1 – 2 days
Bali close and departure
A buffer day before the international flight: one delayed domestic leg can otherwise put it at risk.

The Derawan leg

13 destinations inside the Derawan half

Which appear on your run depends on 3D2N or 4D3N and on sea conditions on the day.

Island

Maratua

The largest outer island and the base for most resort stays, with the Goa Halo Tabung cave pool.

Jellyfish lake

Kakaban

The stingless jellyfish lake and the enclosed Laguna Kehe Daing, reached through a narrow rock channel.

Mantas

Sangalaki

The manta ray island, with Manta Point and the turtle conservation site.

Mainland coast

Talisayan

The whale shark point; the early run on day 3 of the 4D3N.

Mirror lake

Labuan Cermin

The two-layer mirror lake on the mainland, after Manimbora on day 3.

Also on the list: Derawan Island, Dolphins Point, Manta Point, the Sangalaki turtle conservation, Manimbora and the Pasir Gusung Sanggalau sandbar, plus Goa Halo Tabung and Laguna Kehe Daing. Our Derawan trips are snorkel-based; scuba diving is not included.

Three regions

Adding Komodo, with Bali as the hinge

Labuan Bajo is reached from Denpasar, and Berau is reached from Denpasar by a flight you book to Kalimarau (BEJ), so Bali works as the pivot for both legs. Travellers who want both regions generally allow 12 to 14 days and treat Bali as two short stays.

The Komodo leg is quoted separately: the two regions run on different vessels, operators and seasonal calendars, so there is no combined published rate. Send both regions and your dates and you get two clear quotations; the connecting flights are booked by you.

Choosing rather than combining? Derawan is calmer, shallower and more snorkel-friendly; Komodo is a stronger-current, dive-led region. Many divers who have done Komodo come to Derawan for the contrast.

When to go

April to November: Derawan sets the dates

April to November is the best season in Derawan, when the crossings between the outer islands are most reliable; December to March is the wetter period. Bali is a year-round destination, so book the Derawan leg first and fit the Bali days around it, not the other way round.

Locked-in Bali dates with no availability in the archipelago is the common failure mode.
