Why Visit Kakaban Island?
Swim among harmless jellyfish in Lake Kakaban — a rare, bucket-list-worthy experience. With its abundant coral reefs and bio-diverse marine life, the island captivates divers, snorkelers, and eco-tourists alike. Its remote beauty, lush forest, and white-sand beaches provide the ultimate escape.
Diving and Snorkeling Adventures
Explore a vibrant underwater world around Kakaban. Divers can encounter turtles, manta rays, reef sharks, and brilliant coral gardens. Snorkelers will love the visibility and ease of access to thriving reefs just offshore, with colorful schools of fish just beneath the surface.
Understanding Lake Kakaban
This prehistoric lake is completely isolated from the sea, creating a one-of-a-kind brackish ecosystem. Swim with golden and moon jellyfish, completely stingless, in waters surrounded by mangrove-lined limestone cliffs. A surreal, dreamlike experience, Lake Kakaban is unlike anywhere else on Earth.
The Best Time to Visit
April to October marks Indonesia’s dry season, where sunny skies and calm surf let you experience Kakaban at its finest. Plan your trip to align with these months for the best visibility while diving and more time to explore the island’s natural wonders without interruption from rain.
