Kakaban island

Kakaban island is part of the Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan. The island has an area of 774,2 hectares and is quite steep with limestone cliffs covered with dense jungle right down to the water’s edge and few beaches. In the middle of this island, there is a mangrove lake, slightly above sea level, where thousands of non-stinging jellyfish live. There are at least four different species of jellyfish which have a lost their natural defense system because of the lack of major predators in the lake. This unique lake can only be matched with a lake in Palay, Micronesia.
Now, imagine yourself swimming and diving together with these stingless jellyfish. Awesome!
