Kakaban Island - East Kalimantan - Indonesia
Kakaban island is a large coral atoll in the Derawan Archipelago in the district of Berau, off the east coast of East Kalimantan, covering 774 hectares of uninhabited terrain. It’s most distinctive feature is a huge land-locked lake, which makes up almost two thirds of the island. This brackish lake is alive with several species of endemic marine life, including millions of stingless jellyfish that only exist in one other place on the planet. The island is shrouded in a tangle of dense mangrove forests, right down to where the water meets the earth. There are very few sections of beach, as most of the Kakaban’scircumference ends in a rocky wall of sheer limestone cliffs, some sections dropping hundreds of feet to the choppy waves below.
Kakaban Island is one of 31 islands belonging to the Derawan archipelago, which include Sangalaki, Maratua and Derawan. Kakaban was elevated through years of geological pressure, which eventually sealed off what was once a lagoon, creating the Kakaban Lake. “Kakaban” comes from a word in the local dialect meaning “hug,” because of the way the 9-shaped island “hugs” the lake in the center. Kakabanlake has been declared a government nature reserve, and has been nominated as a World Heritage Zone.
The ecosystem of the lake is very similar to that of the open sea, but with a twist! The trapped sea-water diluted with rain water and ground water creates a unique habitat that has caused the creatures trapped inside to evolve! The lake has warm, brackish water of 11 to 17 meters in depth, and is carpeted in marine green algae. Four species of jellyfish criss-cross the waters of Kakaban lake, but unlike their counterparts beyond the coral wall, the lake-jellies have no natural predators, resulting in the evolution of the species to no longer need their venom as self-defence.
Other evolutionary processes have also taken place in this lake: The box jellyfish, normally one of the deadliest creatures in the world, in addition to losing its sting, has shrunk to barely a third its normal size. The Spotted Jellyfish is no longer spotted, and the Cassiopeia swims upside down, with its tentacles to the surface. This is so the sun may shine on its algae-covered tentacles, creating a photosynthetic reaction and thus producing food! Meanwhile, the white anemone has evolved into a passive jellyfish predator.Eight species of fish also dwell in this biological paradise, as well as sea cucumbers, sponges, crabs, tunicates, snakes, and orange purple and yellow clams.

Holiday in Derawan and Kakaban Islands, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Kakaban island is part of the Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Kakaban surrounded by high cliffs that are steep, so a landing had to achieve from flat and open areas. After going through the wooden stairs then the visitor will find one of the world's heritage.Kakaban can be reached via the sea from Tanjung Redeb, the Capital of Berau Regency. It takes about 2.5 hours by speed boat or seven hours with a regular motorboat.
In connection with the tourism potential, Lake Kakaban may be in threatened condition if precautions are not done early. This threat can be caused by the impact of uncontrolled tourism that cause pollution, increased sedimentation, and physical damage caused by visitors who swim in the lake, use of outboard engines on the lake resulted in disturbance of habitats, species extinction, and will eventually result in decreasing the potential for tourism.

Stingless Jellyfish Lake of Kakaban Island [4K] | Indonesia from Below (S01E03) | SZtv
World's largest jellyfish lake at Kakaban Island!
In a hidden corner of the globe, surrounded by steep cliffs, and protected from the ocean outside is a body of water like no other. Formed during the last ice age, the lake inside the island fortress of Kakaban, harbours alien life. From huge swarms of stingless jellyfish to kaleidoscopic coral clinging to the fringing mangroves, a swim here feels like floating through space.

Wonderful Indonesia Jellyfish Lake Kakaban Island, East Kalimantan
Danau Kakaban bisa dibilang danau yang unik. Kenapa unik? unik karena air dari danau ini terbentuk dari Air Laut yang terperangkap yang masuk lewat pori-pori tanah dan air hujan. Proses penyatuan 2 sumber air yang berbeda tersebut diperkirakan sudah terjadi dari 2 juta tahun yang lalu sehingga terbentuklah Danau Kakaban yang berair payau seperti sekarang. Keistimewaan lainnya dari Danau ini adalah ternyata cuma ada dua di dunia pulau dengan Danau air payau di tengahnya, satu lagi berada di Pulau Palau, Mikronesia. Air laut yang terperangkap di Danau ini bukannya tidak membawa apapun, ternyata air laut tersebut juga membawa organisme yang salah satunya adalah Ubur-ubur. Ubur-ubur yang ikut terperangkap di danau ini ternyata awalnya merupakan jenis ubur-ubur yang menyengat. Namun seiring dengan berjalannya waktu dan keharusan untuk tetap dapat bertahan hidup, terjadilah evolusi pada ubur-ubur tersebut yang konon membuat mereka menjadi tidak menyengat atau bisa dikatakan mereka menjadi kehilangan kemampuan untuk menyengat. Evolusi tersebutlah yang membuat mereka bisa bertahan hidup sampai sekarang. Keanehan pada ubur-ubur ini juga yang menjadi surga tidak hanya bagi para Travelertetapi juga bagi para peneliti. Para Peneliti dari berbagai belahan dunia sering datang ke Danau Kakaban guna meneliti bagaimana bisa mereka menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan yang sudah berubah total. Selain ubur-ubur (terdapat 4 jenis ubur-ubur di Danau Kakaban), di Danau Kakaban ini juga terdapat ganggang, beberapa jenis ikan dan beberapa organisme lain yang juga masih diteliti karena keunikan pada Danau Kakaban ini.
One of Indonesia's gems: Kakaban Island, Derawan, East Kalimantan
Kakaban island is part of the Derawan Island, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In the middle of this island is a mangrove-fringed lake, slightly above sea level, where thousands of jellyfish which are harmless to humans live, making it interesting for diving. The jellyfish consist of four different species which do not have the ability to harm humans with their stinging cells. They are called stingless jellyfish.

TRAVEL: Kalimantan part 6 - Kakaban n Sangalaki boat tour - East Kalimantan - Indonesia - V#055
Hello my friends, this video is about a boat tour to Kakaban and Sangalaki islands, both belong to Derawan archipelago, off coastal shore of east Kalimantan aka Borneo, and both are uninhabited.
Derawan archipelago is part of the Coral Triangle...a paradise for divers thanks to its beautiful marine life with bio-diversity.
Kakaban lake - an ancient lake trapped in a large atoll - is famous as home of stingless or evolved jelly-fishes....while in Sangalaki there is a major Turtle Conservation in the South East of Asia, and normally you can swim with manta rays in their natural habitat.
I hope you enjoy it. ????????????????

STINGLESS Jellyfish lake | KAKABAN Berau Borneo TRAVEL VLOG
In this Indonesia Travel Vlog we visit Kakaban. A stingless jellyfish lake in Berau Regency, Derawan, off of the island of Borneo (aka Kalimantan).
This isn't the only stingless jellyfish lake in the world. The most famous being in Palau and Siargao, Philippines. The jellies in all of these lakes are called stingless because there are no natural predators here, and they do not have the need for protection. The reality is though, they do in fact sting, but the stingers on their tentacles (called nematocysts) are too small to pierce the skin of people. If you're a small fish, or other creature... you're lunch.
There are 4 species of Jellies in this lake, and in this Indonesia Travel Vlog, we go exploring to find each of them.
Big love to Wonderful Indonesia for hosting this trip!
