Turtle Traffic - Derawan Islands

Turtle Traffic in the Derawan Islands lives up to its name, offering a reliable chance to see green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles. We often find them resting on the sandy bottom or gliding along the reef edge, sometimes in surprisingly high numbers. It’s a relaxed drift, generally mellow, making it a good spot for newer divers or anyone wanting a relaxed encounter with these ancient mariners. Visibility is usually solid, allowing for clear views of the turtle activity.
