Panjang Island
Pulau Panjang
A long, narrow uninhabited island near Derawan, with white sand beaches and coral reefs that are ideal for snorkeling. It is often a stop on half-day island-hopping trips.
Pulau Panjang lies northwest of Derawan Island. This elongated, uninhabited island is covered in tropical jungle, with white sandy beaches and gently sloping coral flats around its edge. Snorkeling reveals colorful hard corals and reef fish such as clownfish, and the sandbars stretching out at low tide are beautiful. The island has no shops or restaurants, so bring your own drinking water and lunch. A chartered speedboat from Derawan Island takes about 20–30 minutes. It suits the afternoon of an island-hopping day, though winds and waves may pick up in the afternoon, so follow the boat operator's arrangements.
