Palau Kakaban June 20 & Pulau Birah Birah June 21, 2016

Palau Kakaban, Indonesia: Monday June 20

This small island has a unique Jellyfish lake contained within a crater within a rainforest. The Jellyfish in the lake have lost their ability to sting, because they have little or no predators.


 
  
Memumbar River and Pulau Birah Birahan: Tuesday June 21

An early morning zodiac cruise up this river didn’t result in any group seeing significant wildlife apart from isolated birds and a striped yabbie swimming in the river. Previous tours reported proboscis monkeys and other wildlife.

The thick, healthy mangrove vegetation showed the level of nutrients that were available in this river system.
 

The afternoon visit to Bira Birhan Island showed many corals and fish with the occasional large sea turtle.
