Jakarta is a city that never sleeps. This city is an economy and the government center of Indonesia. It\u2019s not a surprise if the citizens, called Jakartans, usually feel drained by life in Jakarta. Jakartans use the work hard play hard principle in their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there\u2019s a cheap, easily accessible island escape right within the Jakarta regency- Pulau Seribu<\/em>, or Thousand Islands. Pulau Seribu is<\/em> a chain of islands to the north of Jakarta’s coast. Although the name is a Thousand Islands, Pulau Seribu<\/em> only consists of a string of 342 islands, and people only live on 11 Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulau Seribu <\/em>is a great option for a short trip, it\u2019s not very crowded and budget-friendly. The Islands are a snorkeling haven. So you don\u2019t need to spend the money and time on a flight to Bali or Lombok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are 4 boat options, there\u2019s a traditional boat (wooden ship), PELNI boat, ferry, and a fast boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to take a traditional boat or ferry, you must go to Kali Adem Harbor which is located behind Muara Angke Fish Market. But if you want to ride a speedboat, then you have to ride from Marina Pier, Ancol. To board the PELNI ship, you must board from the Sunda Kelapa Harbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose the ferry boat, the deck is not air-conditioned but shaded, and with windows, the ferry is packed full with locals, sitting, eating, talking, sharing snacks, sleeping, or maybe smoking. It\u2019s a nice collective vibe and can get you in a good frame of mind to enjoy your Thousand Islands getaway. However, if you value comfort, privacy, and speed more than experience and cost, get the speedboat. It\u2019s surprisingly comfortable and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a foreigner or an Indonesian, getting to Pulau Seribu<\/em> means waking up early. Boats usually leave at six in the morning until nine from the main fish market (Muara Angke Port) or Sunda Kelapa Harbor as well as the more upmarket Marina Ancol Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
