A small island with short but hilly and slippery track. We could see the beach and Mandejaga and Manjerite islands. The top of the hill is not as high as Padar island but it's tougher to climb, especially after the rain. Please use proper shoes to climb the hill, but it's also beautiful seeing the panorama. There're also simple huts selling noodle, coconut, drinks and some souvenirs. Better not miss this island when visiting komodo islands. #wecreate

Never thought that Jakarta and the island could be this good haha. The residents here are friendly and informative, the prices for tourist attractions and culinary delights are not too expensive, just standard. It's really satisfying to travel here by staying at a homestay too. Enjoy the atmosphere and the beautiful sea view, make you forget to breathe the hustle and bustle of city life. Really feel at home here, also suitable for honeymoon with a partner. The beach is also relatively clean and the water is clear blue + green, very beautiful. Island tourism is no less good and the facilities are quite complete. You can also rent a bicycle at a rate of 20 thousand-30 thousand depending on where you rent it. The bridge of love is one of the attractions for visitors, you can also snorkel here to see the sea coral reefs. So you can't move on if you come here! #vitaminsea #Pulautidung

Pramuka Island is one of the islands in the Thousand Islands group. This island is the administrative and administrative center of the Thousand Islands Administrative District. Pramuka Island is included in the Panggang Island Village area. location: Kepulauan seribu DKI Jakarta #parachute#scubadiving#naturalwonders

One wouldn’t guess that only two hours by speedboat from the urban metropolis that is Jakarta, you’d find such a gorgeous and pristine place. Pulau Macan is a true gem - our little islands are situated within the largest archipelago in the world, off the North West coast of Java, Indonesia, just a couple short (and easy) hours from Jakarta. #beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#infinitypool#beaches

Tidung Island A visit to Jakarta is incomplete if you don't take the time to travel to Tidung Island. Tidung Island is a large island which is also part of the Thousand Islands, Jakarta. Tidung Island consists of two parts, namely the Big Tidung Island and the Small Tidung Island. Tidung Besar Island is an inhabited island which has an area of ​​3.8 km x 300m. Meanwhile, Tidung Kecil Island is uninhabited and is devoted to the cultivation and preservation of mangroves. Mangrove forests on the island function to prevent abrasion and to conserve nature. At certain times, tourists can participate to help plant trees on Tidung Kecil Island. Tidung Besar Island and Tidung Kecil Island are connected by a 630 meter long wooden bridge. When walking along it, tourists will be spoiled with beautiful panoramas of the marine ecosystem that can be seen from the top due to the clear water on the island. #triplocal #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Can you believe it? This placed is called Tiger Island, one of kepulauan seribu (it just took 2 hours using speed boat to reach this place from Jakarta - muara angke). You dont need to travel that far to experience such beautiful place. 3 days 2 night hotel, accommodations and 3 times meals, all just +-2 Mio per person. Thats why i adore so much the facilities and technology we have nowadays, (Easy trip accommodation and booking for hotel, transportation, events, etc) so that i could experience such magical place and beautiful nature lively! Lastly, dont forget to create and reach your own magical moment! Stay healthy, explore safely and happily 😊👌 #seasidephotoguide#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

The location of the island is very close to the Ancol Jaya Dreamland Park. Because the location is close, making Untung Jawa Island easy to attract tourists to come without spending a lot of money. The people on this island are very friendly and open to tourists. Many lodgings and tour packages are managed directly by local residents. There are quite complete tour options on Untung Jawa Island. You can choose to cycle around the island, play banana boat, jetski, snorkel and dive. When you are tired of enjoying the tour packages that exist on the island, you can rest in lodging which is also available at a cheap price but clean and comfortable. #summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

Kepulauan Seribu or Thousand Island consist of around 340 islets, including sand bars, accessible ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours by speedboat off Marina Ancol-Jakarta Bay. Here are some of Island Resorts, the beautiful places for your vacation. Escape to a fresh and clear environment, enjoy the nature both physically and mentally and enjoy the benefits of leisure. The wind blowing, oceans wave as well as the waving palm trees would be your companies bye the time you step on this island. Unforgettable delightful island resorts with luxurious traditional style cottages. The right place for relaxing, refreshing, set in a clear blue sea, filled with myriad of tropical fish among multi colour corrals. #urbanexplorer #besttrip #summerdays#seasidephotoguide

Several islands in the Thousand Islands will certainly impress you. Many of them have beautiful scenery (especially the underwater scenery) and it is just 1-3 hours away from Jakarta. Macan Island is just 90 minutes away by speedboat from Marina harbor in Taman Impian Jaya Ancol. Tiger Islands Village & Eco Resort manages Macan Island. Besides managing a beautiful resort, Tiger Island Village & Eco Resort also try to introduce several environmentally friendly solutions for their guests. They promote sustainable energy, environmental stewardship, organic gardening, rainwater harvesting, composting, waste management and much more including community development. From relaxing, snorkeling, canoeing, watching the sunset, to having a massage session there are so many activities you can do on Macan Island. One thing that quite surprised me was the underwater view. The coral reefs around Macan Island are in a good condition and the management regularly undertakes coral planting around the island. #urbanexplorer #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

I will be honest this place is beautiful but not worth a trip just to go here. If you’re going to be in the area for diving or other things, then worth it. Other than that, it looks exactly like the pictures on the Internet save yourself the trouble and then annoyance of so many people. The tour boats seem in a hurry and they want to get you to the next destination and there’s very little time to actually enjoy what you’re doing. I traveled from Java to go there, since people said it was so amazing. We must remember it depends to each their own what’s amazing. #givethanks #givethanks

Beautiful island, with a small hike to get to the viewpoint. Takes around 5 minutes to go up and the views are amazing. You can also swim and snorkel at the beach. We saw a couple of baby sharks. There're also simple huts selling noodle, coconut, drinks and some souvenirs. Better not miss this island when visiting komodo islands. #wecreate #pulaukelor #komodo

The first place to visit if you take a trip to sail in Labuan Bajo. Beautiful small island with great view from top. Great island with spectacular view after 30min hiking. You can make it in flip flops but I would recommend real covered shoes especially if its wet. A little crowded due to all the cruise companies making the same stop but still well worth it. #wecreate
