The Hidden Paradise of Borneo : Lemukutan Island

Lemukutan island is flanked by small islands, such as Randayan and Kabung. Bengkayang district has 12 small islands with abundant natural resources. Only 5 of the 12 islands, inhabited by people. Including Lemukutan island. The rest, is still a piece of the islands with no inhabitants.


The island is located around 15 miles from the nearest landing point on the edge of the north Pontianak-Singkawang. The name of market where the sea transport dock landing is Teluk Suak(Suak bay).
Suak bay is 31 km from Singkawang. Its position is before the Singkawang's border if we go from Pontianak. From the Suak bay to the island takes about 1.5 hours.



Wilderness conditions, naturally maintained by the local community, make this island is still very natural.
Along the way before arriving Lemukutan island, you can its beautiful scenery. The sea breeze and the sound of crashing waves on the rocky give us so natural sense.
