Visitors must be willing to travel long distances through three routes namely land, sea or river and air to reach the Derawan Islands.

Not only is the view of the beach extraordinarily beautiful, but the underwater beauty and diversity of marine life on the four islands is also a pity to miss.

It is recorded that more than 870 types of marine life living in this place such as giant turtles, stingrays, dugongs, dolphins, barracudas, stingless jellyfish and even Derawan sharks are a collection of fish that live in Derawan waters.
