Karimunjawa IsLand

Karimunjawa Located relatively close to Java island, allows Karimunjawa to be an accessible and most importantly affordable holiday destination to marine lover visitor. The operation of fast boat from Semarang has cut the length of trip to the islands to half of the usual length of trip by ferry boat from Jepara. Now, visitor could reach the islands in 3.5 hours trip. No more are-we-there- yet syndrome caused by the six boring hours in the slow moving ferry boat.

The weather is warm, the sky is sunny, the water is crystal clear and the view is literary breathtaking.

Karimunjawa it self is an island-chains with 27 islands linking in the territory. Only five of them are populated and mostly by local traditional fisherman. In a way, this could show how close the islands to the term of ‘virginal tropical paradise’. The quiet and peaceful surrounding is the perfect hideout for those who wish to escape the hectic and frustrating high-speed city life. Take some time off, slow down a little bit and see how much that would do you good.



The status of Karimunjawa as one of the preserved national marine park in Indonesia gives evidence on how beautiful the underwater life is in the islands. No need to rent high cost diving gear or search for a specific location just to view forest of colorful coral reefs and all their inhabitants. They are scattered all over the place! The islands are reported to be the home of 242 different kind of fish as well as 133 genera of aquatic fauna. Just get your snorkel set ready at hand, plunge into in the water and enjoy….


Here are some hints on what you can do while you stay in the islands:

1. Swim with sharks: Really?.. Yes, really!.. Swimming with sharks is a must to do activity while you stay in the islands. Test your guts and have memorable pictures taken with the sharks circling around you in the conservatory shark pool.

2. Fishing: Night fishing is a favorite activity to some visitors. Do it by your self or join a tournament that frequently held by local government and institution.

3. A trip by glass bottom boat: Not really an Olympic qualified swimmer?.. Fear not people, there are plenty shallow water in the surrounding. But if you want to see the marine life in deeper water, joining a glass bottom trip is a must.

4. Islands hopping: Club hopping?.. Mall hopping?.. Naah, that’s old news. Islands hopping is the ‘it’ activity for you to do in the islands. Remember, there are 27 of them, and all waiting for you eager beaver marine lover. (See how my words rhyme perfectly?..)

5. Diving: If you are one of the people who are not satisfied by snorkeling slowly around the islands, diving is definitely an option. Rent a diving gear and get set to the various diving sites available in the islands.
