Our adventure extends beyond the islands; we’ve carved out time to give back to the ocean. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in a coral planting workshop, learning how to protect and restore the very reefs that make Karimunjawa so spectacular.
HIGHLIGHTS
Snorkeling or diving with more than 500 species of reef fish and 300 species of corals
Watch and learn the process of coral planting in Karimunjawa
Karimunjawa Islands is an enchanting archipelago located in the Java Sea, about 80 kilometers northwest of Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. Consisting of 27 islands, only a handful are inhabited, while the rest remain pristine and untouched, offering a paradise-like escape for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
Known for their crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and vibrant coral reefs, the islands are a haven for snorkeling, diving, and island hopping. The surrounding marine park is home to a rich diversity of marine life, including turtles, reef sharks, and colorful fish, making it a protected area under the Karimunjawa National Park.
The main island, Karimunjawa Island, is where most accommodations and local life can be found. Visitors can explore traditional fishing villages, hike through tropical forests, or simply relax by the beach. Other notable islands include Menjangan Besar, famous for its shark pool, and Menjangan Kecil, popular for snorkeling.
Despite their growing popularity, the Karimunjawa Islands have retained a laid-back, tranquil atmosphere, far removed from the hustle of Indonesia’s more crowded tourist destinations. With limited Wi-Fi and basic infrastructure in some areas, it’s the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect with nature.
Your adventure begins as the city lights of Jakarta fade away. We’ll meet by 9:30 PM for a comfortable overnight train transfer. Lean back, catch some sleep, and wake up as the sun rises over Central Java.
