About this dive site
Stingless jellyfish lake unique to the Derawan archipelago.
Kakaban Island's landlocked lake holds millions of stingless jellyfish on a short hike from the beach. No sunscreen or fins in the lake — combine with Sangalaki mantas on Derawan liveaboard loops.
Kakaban lake bans sunscreen and reckless finning; hike timing and Derawan permits gate the visit.
