Welcome To Indonesia :) Sangalaki Island, in the Berau district of East Borneo province, Indonesia, contains one of the largest known nesting populations of green turtles in the Celebes Sea. Turtles nest year-round at this site. Sangalaki is surrounded by fringing reefs which extend out about 500 to 600 meters into the sea. As a result, the area of the fringing reefs is at least 10 times greater than the island itself. Sangalaki is covered with dense tropical forests with thick undergrowth, and the island is surrounded by wide sandy beaches and you can leisurely walk around the island in less than 20 minutes. the reefs drop from 3 to 4 meters to about 18 to 24 meters and up to 40 meters at some point. The corals are practically untouched and hence with display good, healthy growth. Marine life is very rich in giant manta rays, which congregate around the island .
