After lunch we will continue the tour by going to the second snorkelling spot where you can see colourful corals and fishes. If you are lucky you may even find some turtles! After this we will go to the second island. You will have time to explore the island, take pictures, sunbathe or swim in the ocean. On the way back you can enjoy the vibrant sunset.

Loes – July 17, 2023

We booked a private snorkeling tour for our family. It was fantastic! The guide spoke good english and helped us during snorkeling. It was the first time for us. So special to see all the colourful fish and coral! The fish barbecue was also very tasty!

Karimunjawa Snorkeling Excursions

Welcome to the ultimate guide for Karimunjawa snorkeling excursions, where pristine turquoise waters and vibrant marine life await avid adventurers. Nestled in the heart of Indonesia , the Karimunjawa archipelago beckons with its untouched beauty and exceptional snorkeling opportunities.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced snorkeler, join us as we dive into the breathtaking coral reefs, encounter colorful tropical fish, and explore hidden underwater treasures in this tropical paradise. Prepare to be awe-inspired and discover why Karimunjawa is a snorkeler’s haven.

Our Snorkeling Experience

No trip to these islands would be complete without trying one of the organized snorkeling excursions. We made our arrangements through Jon from SeaSky , and booked his full-day snorkeling trip to the western islands for  IDR 200,000   per person ( €14 ).

This price included the use of snorkeling gear and a packed lunch.

Karimunjawa Snorkeling Excursion

The snorkeling trip was the highlight of our visit to Karimunjawa. Together with 2 local boat handlers, our guide  Jon took 5 of us out on a full-day snorkeling expedition starting at 9 am.

The boat was narrow with a low draft. This enabled the handlers to manoeuvre skillfully between the coral reefs. They were able to run ashore right onto the white sand beaches of the small islands.

Plenty of small colorful fish – Karimunjawa

Our tour lasted all day. In the morning, we visited 2 coral reefs in different areas of the more sheltered Western islands.

The snorkeling here is much better than snorkeling directly off the beaches of Karimunjawa, such as Waru or around Breve Azurine . However, apart from enjoying the unblemished coral formations, we didn’t encounter any large fish.

There were plenty of the more common smaller coral fish, and even a few barracuda.

Paradise Island

At lunchtime we moored off a tiny white sand Robinson Crusoe-style island and ate the packed lunches that Jon had prepared for us.

The water here was vivid turquoise and bathwater temperature.

Resting on a sandbank in Karimunjawa , Indonesia

Greyang ‘Coffee’ Island

In the afternoon we motored over to another reef for our 3rd snorkeling session. This was followed by a trip to Jon’s  ‘Coffee’  island. A small island inhabited by an elderly Indonesian couple.

Here, we enjoyed a warm beverage while we watched the sun set. The perfect end to an active day.

Greyang Island , Karimunjawa

If snorkeling isn’t your thing, you can arrange an overnight camping stay on one of the smaller islands, such as Greyang . The boat drops you off late afternoon, and you have the island completely to yourself for 24 hours.

All you need to take with you is a tent, a basic barbecue, your food and drink, and an adventurous spirit. Just ask Jon for details.

Swimming with Baby Sharks?

Some organizers arrange tours to a specially prepared lagoon where you can swim with baby sharks. This is quite popular, particularly with Asian tourists.

Karimunjawa Snorkeling

However, we discovered that this practice is harmful to the natural development of marine species in the area, and wouldn’t like to encourage it. If this is your thing, then man-up and go diving to spots where you can encounter adult sharks in their free and natural environment.

An Immersive Snorkeling Adventure

Our snorkeling excursion gave us an unforgettable journey into this mesmerizing underwater world. With its crystal-clear waters, diverse marine ecosystems, and stunning coral reefs, this Indonesian gem guarantees a thrilling snorkeling experience.

Whether you’re seeking tranquility, adventure, or simply a chance to marvel at nature’s wonders, Karimunjawa has it all. From its vibrant marine life to its picturesque landscapes, this hidden paradise is a must-visit destination for snorkel enthusiasts.

So, pack your snorkeling gear, embark on an unforgettable adventure, and let Karimunjawa amaze you with its natural splendor.

Snorkeling and diving at Karimunjawa

Did twice a snorkeling and diving trip at Karimunjawa via The Happinezz Tours during my stay at Karunjawa. Had two wonderfull days, very nice coral and beaches. Paradise on earth. 100x better dan Bali or Gilli.

Thank you for your great review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed both tours with us. We hope to see you again in karimunjawa.

We stayed at The Happinezz for four amazing days. We had bought boat tickets in advance through their boat ticket service, which was completely stress free and efficient. They also arranged transport to and from Jepara for us, again stress free and efficient. We also did their island hopping and snorkelling day, which was fantastic. It was an amazing four days amongst lovely people who could not help us enough.

Hi Kate, Thank you very much for your time to write a review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your tour and stay with us. We always try to give the best we can do to our guest. We hope to see you again in Karimunjawa

Happinezz is the perfect word for this place. Terrific service, hospitality and an excellent cook! Its close to bars and restaurants and the atmosphere is great.

Thank you very much for your review! We work really hard to offer the best what we can do for our guest. I'm so happy to see you enjoyed stay with us, we hope to see you again in Karimunjawa.

I only have one weekend to be enjoyed before my new terms in the university. My colleagues and I decided to have a weekend getaway. We chose to got on a speed boat to Karimunjawa islands. There are more than ten small islands. I left semarang city at 8 am and landed in Karimunjawa at noon. On my first day we visited a small island called little Menjangan (little deer - literally means). Yet we did not actually visited the island we only approached the island and stop by near it to do a snorkeling. The coral reef is marvelous. With a standard equipment and without any knowledge of swimming people can really enjoy the view of underwater coral reef. On our second day we snorkeled again in a different area. The variety of fish (small fishes) is astonished me. You can easily approach them and sometimes it was the fish that starts to touch you. If you bring some bread you can actually feed the fish. Just throw a small piece of bread and you may see so many fishes gather around. On our last day we visit to a shark pond. If you dare, you can "swim" with these baby sharks. Once they reach their "mature" age, they will be release to the ocean. Last but not least, if you are lucky, on the way to the different island you may spot the dolphin parade near your boat. What a marvelous weekend getaway

Hi, thank you for your great review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the island Karimunjawa. We hope to see you soon again!

Together with a friend we visited Joyce and Sudar's hostel The Happinezz. We visited many beautiful beaches, floating paradises and viewpoints on the island by scooter. And made a boat tour to a smaller island including snorkeling and lunch 😁. I liked the island a lot as it is not very touristic (yet). Thanks for the warm welcome! See you soon, Arjen

Hi Arjen, thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure to show you the island! We hope to welcome you again.

Today we rented scooters. Together with a tourguide we did a trip around the island. It was so beautiful, all those places we seen with such a great view! Also the tourguide told us so much about the island, de beaches and many more. We had a great day and seen a lot!

Hello, thank you very much for your review. Good to hear you enjoyed the snorkeling tour. We hope to see you again. Sudar

What To Do In Karimunjawa Island in Java Indonesia?

Karimunjawa islands, located north of central Java in Indonesia, tick all the boxes for a perfect beach destination.

Crystal clear water, white sandy beaches, abundant marine life, colourful corals.

And on top of that, on weekdays the islands and beaches are deserted.

As Karimunjawa is a weekend getaway for locals and only get a little busier on weekends.

We visited Karimunjawa in July for 4 days as part of our trip to  Java .

Karimunjawa is an archipelago of 17 islands and is also the name of the main island.

Experience the vibrant underwater life and colorful corals at Karimunjawa national park.

Our days on Karimunjawa were packed with fun and exciting activities and we share them here, in this travel guide.

This post contains links to products and services that they may compensate us for, at no extra cost to you.

What to do in Karimunjawa?

#1 beach hopping & exploring karimunjawa islands on a scooter.

We spent 2 days exploring Karimunjawa and its sister island, Kemojan, and discovered beautiful beaches along the way.

Karimunjawa and Kemojan are linked through a very small bridge.

These are our favourite beaches we discovered while cruising Karimunjawa islands on a scooter.

Bantai Batu Tobeng beach

Bantai Batu Tobeng is the most beautiful beach in Karimunjawa with crystal clear water, white sandy beach and it’s free from development except for a hut.

Next to this beach, there are 2 other beaches linked together through a passage.

We came to Bantai Batu Tobeng early morning and we shared the beach with only 3 local kids who were playing their small guitars.

The beaches here are excellent for snorkeling and usually get busier for sunsets.

Karimunjawa Beaches in the South

Alano beach, Barracuda beach and Laendra Sunset beach are our favorite beaches in the south. Unfortunately, some beaches in this part of the island are littered with trash.

Must say that the highlight of our beach hopping activity in south Karimunjawa is seeing a huge dragon right on the sand which quickly disappeared back into the jungle that nestles the beach.

Alano Beach / Pantai Alano

The highlight of Pantai Alano is its vantage point above the bay offering a great view over the beach.

Alano beach is clean, has a small restaurant and the water is clear and shallow. 

Barracuda Beach / Pantai Baracuda

Getting to Pantai Baracuda which is on Kemojan requires a trip through villages and forests.

We walked passed a beachfront resort and came to a long pier stretching out onto the clearest water.

A resort that seemed deserted looks over the pier and had a nice infinity pool overlooking the beach with a spectacular view. This resort is the Royal Ocean View Beach and was newly renovated.

Check price of this Karimunjawa island resort here .

Further out into the sea there is a good snorkeling spot with coral reef.

Laendra Sunset Beach

Laendra Sunset beach is at the furthest point to the north of Kemojan.

The beach is a good spot for sunset where the sun sinks into the ocean right in front of this pretty bay.

On the beach is a small restaurant and some instagrammable spots (which are popular with locals).

We tried snorkeling at Sunset beach since there is a barrier reef further out from the shore but the sea was a bit rough.

This part of the island is very much cut off and some parts are pitch black at night. 

Some beaches on Karimunjawa charge an entry fee which should cover the cleaning of the beach but interestingly these beaches were the most littered.

#2 Karimunjawa Snorkeling and Island Hopping Tour

The snorkeling and island hopping tour is the highlight of any visit to the Karimunjawa archipelago.

A pleasant boat ride got us to the first snorkeling spot with loads of colorful corals and different schools of small fish while the captain was busy catching fish for lunch. 

Next we headed to a small picturesque island, Cemora Besar, where we ate the freshly caught fish grilled to perfection by the captain with a selection of sauces, rice and fruit. 

Then to another snorkeling spot which was even better than the first. With huge corals in all shapes and forms, lots of fish where at times we couldn’t see anything else except schools of fish and stingrays hiding in the sand. From this spot, the captain caught a sizeable tuna. 

The boat then anchored close to an even smaller deserted island and a walk through shallow water brought us on Cemora Kecil. 

On our journey back to the harbour we admired the beautiful sunset over the soothing sound of the waves splashing against the boat.

The best ending to an amazing day on Karimunjawa.

The boat tour costs 200k IDR (14.20$) per person and includes the snorkeling equipment, food and water although we paid 250k IDR per person since our group was small.

Boat tours can be bought online, arranged through your accommodation or else you may try asking around near the harbour where all the boats dock.

#3 Enjoy a beautiful Sunset at Love Hill

Love Hill offers a spectacular view over the jungle and the sea and facing the west makes it a perfect spot for sunset. 

A bar on top of the hill has a selection of smoothies, beers, coffees and food.

The bar also sells a locally made pineapple wine which we had mixed with our smoothie and turned out quite good. 

Karimunjawa Beaches and Attractions on Map

Getting around Karimunjawa Islands

Karimunjawa is best explored on a scooter that is rented usually without helmets at a cost of 75k IDR (5.30$) per day.

The roads are generally good and not busy.

Fuel is in short supply on the island so when renting a scooter, either ask to have the fuel tank full or buy fuel directly from the person renting you the bike.

A bottle of fuel cost 10k IDR.

Add a visit to the art & heritage city of Yogyakarta, either before or after Karimunjawa.

Karimunjawa Islands, one of the best islands in Indonesia

Karimunjawa Islands are definitely one of the most beautiful islands we have seen in Indonesia.

These little blissful islands are a vision of the tropics. Perfect white-sand beaches with turquoise water which will hurt your eyes. This amazing hidden gem of Indonesia is definitely a “must” destination to visit. It takes an effort to get there as it’s not a very known destination (not yet) but definitely worth it.

Table of Contents

As you probably noticed as well, many places are getting crowded and touristy. That’s why we try to look for places which are not commonly known and not many people heard of. If you think that those places do not exist anymore, you will be surprised. There are still many left. And, the Karimunjawa Islands are one of them.

Before we get started though we want to bring your attention to the use of sunscreen and how most available products threaten marine life all over the world. The problems are caused by the artifical ingredients and chemicals used in conventional sun screen that run off into the water. Furthermore, what is bad for the ocean can’t be good for us. Raw Elements tries to tackle those issues with products that are based on certified natural and organic ingredients. Make sure to use our code GIGI10 to get 10% off.

WHERE ARE THE KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS?

The Karimunjawa Islands are a group of 27 tropical islands in the Java Sea incorporated into the District of Jepara in Indonesia. It is located 80 km north of the city Jepara in Central Java. The islands’ name means “a stone’s throw” in Javanese. It is for sure not a stone’s throw away from the mainland.

WHEN TO VISIT THE KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS?

The best time to visit the islands is during the dry season , generally speaking from April to October.

WHY VISIT THE KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS?

If you love to escape the typical touristic places and try to look for a quiet destination, then Karimunjawa is perfect (for now). The best thing about the Karimnujawa Islands is that they are still not very known among travelers. For instance, Lonely Planet just recently started to mention them at all.

HOW TO GET TO THE KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS?

Getting to Karimunjawa is not that easy. In fact, it took us ages. It was also very confusing to figure out the best and at the same time the cheapest way. We stayed in Yogyakarta which I really recommend visiting. The two temples Prambanan and Borobudur are really worth seeing.

From Yogyakarta, you have to get to the harbor city called Jepara. In Java, distances are usually short if one checks for kilometers only. However, the time it will take in the end is more or less like traveling to the moon. So, when you check Google Maps, it is a casual 200 kilometers. Unfortunately, Indonesian streets and especially Javanese streets are helplessly overcrowded and chaotic.

TAKE A MINIBUS TO THE HARBOUR

A Bus/Mini Bus ride will take anywhere between 5-8 hours from Yogyakarta to Jepara. A private taxi to Jepara is way too much, so we were looking for a travel agency that organizes night shuttle buses to Jepara. Usually, they pick you up at a meeting point or your accommodation at 11 PM and you will drive through the night to catch a ferry or boat to Karimunjawa in the early morning. Our minibus was almost 90 min late (we were close to believing no one will ever come), very small and not very comfortable. At least there was air-conditioning cooling the bus down to a very “pleasant” 10 degrees Celsius. The ride is also incredibly bumpy. Remember my experience on the boat to the Gili Islands ? Peanuts in comparison.

OUR ADVICE: Try to avoid sitting at the back of the shuttle bus. Our bus had a very long wheelbase and the roads are not great neither. So every time we hit a hole I really thought we had an accident. Unfortunately, I didn’t get much of sleep neither. I even had to take a motion sickness pill, as it felt like I am on a roller coaster to hell.

CHECK THE BOAT SCHEDULE

We arrived at “lovely” Jepara around 4.30 AM. “Lovely” because Jepara is not. There are two types of boats to choose from in order to get to Karimunjawa from Jepara. Speed boat or ferry. And there are many things to take into account. Depending on your travel agency, on the day you plan to go and also on your budget.

IMPORTANT: Every day there is a different schedule for the boats to Karimunjawa. You can check it here. There are days where the speed boat doesn’t even go. On Thursday, there is no boat at all 😀 So, book your hotel accordingly.

The link is provided by Ayu Hotel on Karimunjawa. When in doubt contact your accommodation for boat schedules. Moreover, you will need to check the wave forecast to make sure that there are boats going. Thus, if there is any red color between Java and Karimunjawa no boat will go.

For some reason, it is very hard to get tickets for the speed boat, especially for the return trip. It seems that the company sells most tickets to agents and tour guides in Jepara. So it is very likely that you will need to take the ferry very early in the morning and no speedboat at 11.00 AM. But, don’t worry. We had a really good experience taking the ferry, in fact, it was the best part of our journey to the Karimunjawa islands. Just get a VIP ticket and you are good to go.

HOW MUCH WILL THE BOAT COST YOU

The speed boat costs about 150.000 Rp (10 EUR) one way and takes about 2 hours. The ferry is 50.000 Rp and it takes usually 4.5 hours. However, the queue for the tickets is very long. And that is why a travel agent or the minibus driver will wait in the line for you. Usually, they will charge a little tip (around 20.000 Rp). We decided to get VIP ferry tickets which I highly recommend. A VIP seat costs only 25.000 Rp (ca. 1,50€) extra and will make a huge difference. Coming to Jepara without any sleep, completely destroyed and frozen the boat ride was like a visit to a Spa. The VIP seats are very comfortable, and I slept almost the entire way. The room is also reasonably air-conditioned and does not feel like a butcher’s chamber to keep meat fresh. The common area doesn’t have any Aircon and the seats are very uncomfortable. It is also usually completely overcrowded and super loud.

After 12 hours we arrived at Karimunjawa Islands. Honestly speaking, I was thinking: Karimunjawa, you better be good, because it took forever to get here.

VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW

If the ferry leaves at 7 AM it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will. It can leave earlier. You need to be at the harbour at the latest at 6.00 AM because the boat will leave once it is full. Both times our boat left at 6.30 instead of 7 AM.

WHAT TO DO ON KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS?

Karimunjawa is an ultimate paradise and you can find one of the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia . Go for a snorkeling trip around Karimunjawa, grill your own fish, enjoy beautiful sunsets, rent a scooter and drive around. There is so much to do. I am sure you will find your piece of paradise.

SNORKELING AND ISLAND HOPPING DAY TRIP WITH SUNSET IN KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS

Our hosts from Ayu Hotel organized an awesome snorkeling trip for us. This trip was my absolute highlight on Karimunjawa. The snorkeling tour started at 9.00 AM and we came home after sunset, around 6.30 PM. We were on the boat with only one other couple, so we had plenty of room and paid 220.000 Rp.

The trip was amazing. Island hopping around Karimunjawa Islands is truly a breathtaking experience. The water changes colors constantly, so we could admire many shades of blue. At first, we drove for some time until we reached our first snorkeling stop and beautiful coral reefs. We saw a few clownfish, turtles and of course a huge variety of tropical fish.

After that, we drove for another 45 minutes and we arrived at a deserted island where our captain caught a few fish with a harpoon. That was our lunch. 

GLEYANG ISLAND

We continued for about 5 minutes and reached GLEYANG ISLAND where we spent around 2 hours.

THIS PLACE WAS SURREAL. The water was incredible. Fine white sand and amazing turquoise water left us breathless. I just couldn’t believe it. Also, the swing in the turquoise water kept me busy for some time. Well, I had to make some classy swing pictures 😀 After, we just lied in the shallow heavenly blue water. Seeing this island, I peacefully said: “Well, those 12 hours of terrible ride were definitely WORTH IT.”

Here our captain grilled fish. Served with rice, vegetables and as dessert, we got fresh fruits. I was really sad to leave this place. When the captain said that we have to return. I screamed. “Noooooo, just leave us here” 😀

On the way back to the main island we watched a beautiful sunset on the boat. I really love those sunset moments. I felt so lucky to experience it. With every sunset, I reflect on my day and the best thing is that there is always a new day after.

SPEND TIME ON UJUNG GELAM BEACH

The next day, our host recommended us to go to a beach called Ujung Gelam . He said that this is the prettiest and the best beach on the main island . We rented a scooter (70.000 Rp) and we went to check it out. He was absolutely correct.

Don’t travel without insurance! If you are still searching for travel insurance , check out World Nomads to get a quote and be covered in case you run into medical troubles.

An incredible place. Because we left early in the morning, we were alone there. On the left side of the beach, there is a little bay and this is where we spent the whole day. We were completely alone, surrounded by palms and rocks . We enjoyed this place so much that we even came back the next day.

Warm water and beautiful turquoise water with incredible surroundings will make you come again. As we came in the morning, the water was very beautiful. However, in the afternoon, around 3 PM, more and more locals and tourists from Java come to the beach.

Our advice: Come there as early as you can. Also. when we were driving there was no one on the road. We even drove around the coast for 2 hours to explore more beaches but we didn’t like it that much except of one other beach. So stick to Ujung Gelam Beach, you won’t regret it.

 DRIVE AROUND THE MAIN ISLAND

We highly recommend to just drive around main island and stop wherever you like for fantastic views. We also came back here for the sunset as we liked the view a lot.

GETTING BACK FROM THE KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS

Getting back from Karimunjawa was also a very confusing trip . We actually wanted to go back with a speed boat and the travel agency told us that we have to get tickets back once we are in Karimunjawa Islands.

However, on the first day, we went to the ticket office and we just couldn’t get them. The answer was: “The boat is full ” and yet: “The boat tickets for the speed boat are being sold a night before the speed boat departs.” So the boat is full but the tickets are being sold a night before? Didn’t make any sense but okay. So we went there 1 day before at 07.30 PM. Waiting, waiting, waiting… Nothing. The office is closed. After waiting for 30 minutes one person asked if they can let us know when they will open the ticket office and how long we should wait. And the answer: “No, there is no point in opening the ticket office because there are no tickets left for the speed boat “:D OKAY, Thanks? Several people waited for nothing and the person in the ticket office couldn’t be bothered to let us know a bit earlier.

ASK YOUR HOST TO HELP YOU TO GET FERRY TICKETS

Finally, our hosts got us ferry tickets, so we didn’t have to wait in the queue. The next day we left at 6.30 AM to Jepara. The boat ride was so nice, we were the only Europeans in the VIP room, so a lot of staring eyes. Eventually, a few locals came to us and started to talk to us. They were truly lovely people, always curious and admiring that we are so tall and fascinated by our noses 😀 at least that is what they said.

In Jepara, we somehow found our shuttle bus back to Yogyakarta. The funny thing was that there were more people than seats . We had to tell the lady from the travel agency that we cannot possibly fit in, so they were forced to organize another car. The drive was endless. Driving during the day is even worse than at night, it took us 7 hours. 200 km, 7 hours. We came home and we were completely done. But, still, I am very happy that we went to the Karimunjawa islands.

ALTERNATIVE AND (POSSIBLY) EASIER ROUTE TO KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS

Get to Semarang where you can also take a speed boat or ferry to Karimunjawa . Like this, you can avoid traveling at night with a terrible minibus. An even more comfortable way is to fly from Surabaya to Karimunjawa. Airfast Indonesia is the airline that does it. Prices are even cheap: around 350.000 Rp/person. However, flights also depend on the weather.

IMPORTANT: There is no online booking possible and there are only 9 seats on the plane. The tickets can be only purchased directly at the airport in Surabaya. Also you have to consider that the Airport in Karimunjawa is around 22km away from most accommodations. Furthermore, there are no taxis to pick you up. A one-way ride in a private car should cost around 400.000 Rp. Bit rough.

WHERE TO STAY ON THE KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS

Stay in ayu hotel.

I chose this place as it was mentioned in Trip Advisor with the highest ranking. And with a happy smile, I can say that the ranking is definitely justified. Eryl and Marco are amazing hosts and made our stay in Karimunjawa even more enjoyable. They were very attentive and caring. They have several cute huts which are very spacious and nicely designed. I really loved the bathroom which had no roof. So showering and looking at the palms kept me there for a long time.

The tasty breakfast every morning boosted our energy even more. Every morning we had a different breakfast (different types of pancakes, omelets, fruits, etc). Further, people who worked there are very kind, lovely and customer oriented. Marco and Eryl also organized for us an unforgettable snorkeling tour for us and you can also rent a scooter at the property (70.000 Rp). All in all, I highly recommend this place and I would stay there again.

Have fun on the Karimunjawa Islands 🙂

Hi guys, me and Eryl are just sitting here an have a good read and beautiful memories come back, from the time you stayed with us at Ayu. First of all we hope you are all healthy. It has been crazy times this year. Karimujawa was completely shut down from 17 March until the end of October 2020. In a way that was also good for the nature and of course we had much more time for gardening, go fishing or snorkeling, and we even build a small little wooden canoe ourself. What can you do, when stuck in the Paradies? We want to send our best wishes to you, also Merry Christmas, even it absolutely not feels like Christmas here, at the end of November with 30 degrees outside, at ten at night. Enjoy your life, find some more beautiful beaches around the world, and maybe one day come back to us in Karimunjawa. In Love, Marco & Eryl

I am happy to tell that my wife and I are visiting Karmunjawa 19-07-2022 voor 10 day’s We are really looking forward to it

Our Comfort Island Expedition package price is a price per person, however the price is based on a minimum of two people.

Please contact us if you would like to travel alone and want more information about that. If you want to book for more then 2 people, indicate this in the booking form on the left and the price per person will automatically decrease. If you want to book for more than 10 people or are looking for a cheaper camping option without a private snorkeling tour, please also contact our agency so that we can offer you a custom price.

WHAT IS PRIVATE SNORKELING & CAMPING TRIP?

Are you looking for a unique experience? Then the Island Expedition trip is made for you. The trip is a combination between camping and exploring the Karimunjawa archipelago waters. Made for people who like to spend more time out on the water than on the main island. You will have some time to explore the main island and town, but the main focus of the trip is on the water and over the reefs. Some may say it is the experience of a lifetime.

Stay on an island in the middle of the sea, where you can only find white sand, palm trees, blue water, and beautiful stars. Combined with 1,5 days of private snorkeling. One spot on day one and a great variety of beautiful snorkeling spots (often two spots), visit to another small paradise islands with bounty white beaches and more memorable sights like a sandbank or a turtle sanctuary on day two. Either on the west side or the east side, depending on the weather conditions.

Great your own day and spend the time with a private group of family and friends. You decide where we go, when we move to the next location and when we are going home. Obviously, our team will give the necessary notes so that we can realize a safe and beautiful day for our guests. We provided basic camping gear and the necessary food supplies; however, we won’t stop you if you prefer to sleep under the stars. Discover Karimunjawa the adventures way.

Would you like to book a more affordable option without a private snorkeling trip or with camping on the main land, please inform us and we will give you a costume price.

WHAT IS FOR LUNCH?

The snorkeling trip includes a barbecue on the beach during which the crew will prepare and serve fresh fish, vegetables, rice, egg/tempe/tofu, traditional crackers (Krupuk), water and fruit.

The lunch on arrival will be at Bukit Love Karimunjawa. Depending on their availability your lunch will be an Indonesian dish like Nasi Goreng, Mie Goreng, Ayam Geprek or something else available.

Dinner and breakfast during the camping trip will be relatively easy as you have to prepare it yourself with the limited sources. However, if you like to add a breakfast service or barbecue to your package, this is of course possible.

If you are vegetarian please inform us, so we can offer you a different menu.

BOAT CHANGE OR UPGRADE?

If you would like to upgrade your boat ticket to a VIP ticket for the Bahari Express fast boat, or perhaps prefer to travel with the Siginjai Fery. Please contact us for a custom price.
