What is indonesia's biggest island?

Kalimantan (Borneo)

Irian Jaya (Papua)

Kalimantan/Borneo

Papua is the biggest island in the world. Only half of Papua belongs to Indonesia.
Kalimantan (Borneo) is big island too but northern part of Borneo belongs to Malaysia and Brunei.
So, Sumatra is the biggest island in Indonesia which the whole part of it belongs to Indonesia.

Kalimantan or Borneo. The area of the Island, which are the part of Indonesia is 245237 Km2.

kalimantan is 5 times java, sumatra is 3,5 times java. java is the most important island (hate to say this but it's true)

Borneo is not only Indonesia's biggest island, but the third biggest island in the world, the only island shared by three countries, and the biggest land mass in the Malay Archipelago.

From the data I must say it'd be Kalimantan or Borneo

borneo or kalimantan (indonesian)

The largest Indonesian Island is Sumatra (425,000 sq km). New Guinea, Papua New Guinea - Indonesia is the largest shared island (800,000 sq km). Borneo is 725,500 sq km.
