Karimunjawa Island, The virgin of Java

Although already more than 10 years living in Semarang - Indonesia, I have never come to Karimunjawa even heard it often. So I am now living in Jakarta decided to come to Karimunjawa.

How do I get there and what activities can be done?

There are two ways which can be used is using a fast boat or ferry, and can pass or Jepara Semarang. There is only via ferry from Jepara. Why do I tell the public? because there are also other means of transport ie air, just the price is quite expensive because we have to lease the aircraft.

Since that time I did not chance to get tickets fast boat from Semarang because late messages and lucky to get tickets through the fast boat from Jepara to Semarang because there is a cancel ticket orders. I am therefore forced to depart from Jepara to use the ferry economy class because they do not get the VIP class.
So here I know if what if what if the ferry ride or boat ride fast.

To go to the port can Jepara Semarang Terboyo depart from the terminal. Travel from Semarang to Jepara approximately one hour. Buses are available starting at half four in the morning. Counters to buy tickets will not hours half seven in the morning, so go and calculate the hours until arrival in Jepara. Bus tickets only for Rp. 6ribu rupiah per person.

08:30 hours the ship departed from the port of Jepara. For those who want to find a comfortable seating position, hours 7 must ride the ship. Because ships are often full, especially at holiday time.















14:30 hrs ferry docked at the pier Karimunjawajawa.

If you stayed in the cottage Dewa Daru, you can drop ship directly to the room enough to walk, because the hotel is right in front of the pier, closer to home too.

Time already, but still managed to Tanjung Gelam, in most west coast of the island of Karimunjawa. Here could do snorkeling, photo images or relax on the beach, because clean beaches, there is no human waste, much cleaner than when I went to the Island Tidung (thousand islands).

Once satisfied, and arrived at the hotel shower, then eat, since tomorrow is still a lot of activity this evening so full of rest rooms.

Waking up every morning at half 6 to go to Nirvana Lodge to see the Sunrise, it turns out this morning was overcast blocked the sun rises.

Once satisfied to take some photos, then back again to the cottage for breakfast, and proceed to the top event bersiap2 .. water play! To the dock to get to the island of Karimunjawa Small Menjangan, view coral reefs from water glass, If you like snorkeling a set of snorkeling equipment can be rented with only rp. Only 35 000 for per person. Coral reefs here in my opinion better than the time to Tidung Island and its beach is much cleaner and pollution free sea.

also fish more, do not forget to bring bread because we could feed the fish here, very nice ..

Once satisfied, go to Menjangan Besar Island, here are breeding Sharks, who dare to swim with sharks, must swim for only $. 5000 rupiah, there are also turtles and starfish size big enough.

10 hours back to Karimunjawa island was still there three hours for a shower, lunch and a nap before leaving the Islands Karimunjawajawa 12 hours.

Who wants to plan his trip can use the schedule below, because every week I and III have a fast boat to and from Jepara, so get a longer vacation. My suggestion is to prepare enough funds, to explore the island of Karimunjawa leaving on Saturday and came home on leave Tuesday to go home Tuesday or Saturday, feel more satisfied. For who wants a ticket message particularly fast boat and ferry VIP jauh2 day should have a message for this ticket is always booked out.
