always beautiful sunset, so don't miss it!!

for me, it's also a heaven. anywhere in the islands, if the sky is clear ... can be seen beautiful sunset. also from my back window in the floating cabin [made from fishing platform]. serene and charm.

Address: anywhere in the islands of karimunjawa archipelago

choose your own island!!!

entitled as national marine park, karimunjawa archipelago stands from 27 small-tiny-mini-but beautiful islands.
so, every single day you can visit one or two of the islands, depend to your interest. from fishing, snorkelling, diving or just swimming.
mostly of them have white sandy beaches but difficulties in anchoring [refer to the only transportation is a boat] will vary. but even your boat can not reach the island properly, you still can visit the island by swimming in the shallow water and let the boat anchoring offshore.

Address: anywhere in the chain of the islands

Directions: approximately 5 - 10 minutes from our cabin at JK, karimunbesar offshore.
