Karimun Jawa is still my favorite weekend
getaway from Jakarta by far. Some people might think the access to this hidden
paradise is quite hard, but hey, it’s easy though. Bus run daily from Jakarta
to Jepara every night, so does the train to Semarang. Either way, you will
arrive early in the morning, just enough time to catch the first Ferry or Fast
Boat to the island.
Personally, I would prefer taking Bus to Jepara since
it’s more comfortable and the Bus Station is just around the corner of the
Pelabuhan Kartini. More convenient way, there is Susi Air departs from Semarang
or Surabaya to Karimun Jawa, every Thursday and Friday.
What to do on
the island:
- Snorkeling,
oh you must be amazed by the underwater beauty of Karimun Jawa. A lot of fish, healthy
yet colorful corals, and really good visibility. November and December are the
best months to visit the island as the weather is pretty nice. Avoid January
when most of the trip in/out the island cancelled due to bad weather.
- Do "Art
of Doing Nothing" on their white sand beaches, also famously known as
Maldives from the east, then enjoy the spectacular view of 3 colors of ocean:
light blue, green, and dark blue at the same time. If someone said you are one step closer to the heaven when you are on the beach, I couldn't agree more.
- swimming
with the sharks *if only you have the gut. Believe me, it's not as easy as it looks. But after you swim with them for a while, your fear will be disappear and only fun remain.
- Simply enjoy
the breathtaking sunrise and the sunset, then relax your mind. There is nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a lovely day.
- Rent a motor bike, then explore the island. Karimun Jawa isn’t merely a beach, you may also find
hills, hidden tropical forests, to mangrove conservation areas. And the view from
top of the hill is just spectacular.
- Last but not least, Be culinary
adventurous, try local food on its daily "pop up" night street market.
