Swimming with Turtles and Mantas: What You Can Expect in Maratua with Sienna Resort
If you’ve ever dreamed of swimming alongside majestic sea turtles and graceful manta rays, Maratua is the place to be. Located in the heart of Indonesia’s stunning Derawan Archipelago, this island is known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and endless adventure. At Sienna Resort, we’re here to show you the magic beneath the waves, where you can dive into turquoise waters and come face to face with some of the ocean’s most incredible creatures.
Swimming with Turtles, An Experience You Won’t Forget
One of the best parts of visiting Maratua is the chance to swim with sea turtles. The island is home to a large population of green and hawksbill turtles, and it’s common to spot them gliding through the water near the reefs.
At Sienna Resort, we offer guided snorkeling and diving tours to the best turtle hotspots around the island. As you float along the reef, you'll see these graceful turtles navigating the waters, sometimes stopping to munch on seagrass or rest on the ocean floor. Their calm nature makes them a joy to watch, and getting the chance to swim alongside them is something you’ll never forget.
