Karimunjawa Island Escape
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Overnight in Jepara
Day 2 – Arrive on Karimunjawa
In the morning, you’ll board the boat for the crossing to the paradise of Karimunjawa, a scenic two-hour journey. You’ll arrive around lunchtime and be treated to a delicious meal with a view of the turquoise sea. Your accommodation is a cosy bungalow located right on the white sandy beach, where the sound of the waves will lull you into relaxation. Take your time to unwind, enjoy the soft sand beneath your feet, or explore the island. Stroll along the coastline, immerse yourself in the untouched natural beauty, or dive into the crystal-clear waters to discover some of the vibrant marine life that makes this area so special.
Day 3 – Turtle farm – Optional excursion
Today is all about discovering the beauty of Karimunjawa at your own pace. You can explore the island by hiking through its lush nature, or you may choose to visit a local village to experience the authentic island life. For those who enjoy nature and wildlife, we can arrange an excursion to a Turtle Farm located in the Karimunjawa National Park. After a short boat trip to Menjangan Besar Island, you’ll learn all about the turtle conservation project. If you’re lucky, you might even get the chance to release baby turtles back into the ocean — a heart warming and unforgettable experience.
Of course, if you’d rather take it easy, you can spend the day relaxing on the white sandy beaches, swimming and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere.
Day 4 – Snorkelling & Island Hopping – Optional Excursion
Another day of R&R on the picture-postcard island of Karimunjawa.
If you’d like to discover the marine life, we can arrange a snorkelling trip. You will meet your guide and captain, and set off on a scenic boat ride to your first snorkelling spot. Dive into the crystal-clear waters and enjoy the vibrant underwater world filled with colourful corals and marine life. After your first snorkelling session, the boat will drop anchor on a secluded island, where fresh fish will be grilled for your lunch over a campfire. You can then take a swim, relax on the soft sandy beach, or simply enjoy the peaceful island atmosphere. Following lunch, you’ll head to your second snorkelling spot before returning to the main bay.
Day 5 – Depart Karimunjawa
Today, your time in the paradise of Karimunjawa comes to an end. After a leisurely breakfast, you will board the boat for the crossing back to Jepara. Upon arrival in Jepara you have the option to continue your exploration of Java, perhaps heading to the lively and culturally rich city of Semarang, or you can embark on another tropical Indonesian island adventure.
