Visiting Thousand Islands in Jakarta

#100waysoftravel

“Kepulauan Seribu” means Thousand Islands, the name given to the many tropical islands scattered in the Bay of Jakarta.

However it is said that there are exactly 110 islands only, that encompasses the Pulau Seribu National Marine Park in the province of Jakarta.

This cluster of islands is a pretty great getaway to top up your Vitamin Sea and these islands ranges from a mere half-hour to a three hours’ boat ride from the north coast of the capital city.

My Indonesian friends, Malaysian close friends and I chartered a private boat from Tangerang fishing village to three of the islands - Pulau Payung, Pulau Ayer and Pulau Payung Kecil and had an amazing time there… (it was fascinating seeing how murky swamp water from the fishing village in the swamps eventually change to be crystal clear water )
