The small island Lankayan in the
Sulu Sea is abundantly covered with tropical plants, has a white sandy beach
and staying there feels just like holding a piece of paradise in your hands.
All the single bungalows are very simple but always clean and look adventurous
due to their wooden construction.
The open air restaurant offers romantic tables for 2 persons as well as big
tables for many people who like to have a chat and laugh together. The food
is served as buffet style and is very good.
Many turtles come here to bury their eggs in the sand. The staff of Lankayan
looks after the eggs and let the baby turtles go into the sea as soon as they
are ready to start their adventurous life in the big blue. It is amazing to
watch the little creatures doing their first steps.

The dive center is placed
on the jetty. The short boat rides take between 2 to 10 minutes. The dive sites
are all not deeper than 25 meters and the diving is easy.
You can see many different magnificent slugs, flabellinas, cowries, shrimps,
crabs, lobsters, ghost pipefish, ribbon eels, cuttlefish, stonefish, batfish
and porcupinefish.
But also some bigger creatures as blue spotted stingrays, barracudas, bamboo
sharks, coral cat sharks and leopard sharks are around. A speciality on Lankayan
is the big jawfish, which always sits in its hole and waits for food.
Very recommendable are the dive sites of the house reef as well as the jetty.
