Pari Island....a Little Paradise near Big Jakarta

Pari Island, just a little paradise in the middle of Thousand islands...

(Click here for Bahasa version)

Pari Monument, turquoise water, and white sands

After approximately 2 hours by traditional wooden boat from Muara Angke port, finally arrived in this small paradise. It was a relief when the boat begins to leave the-not-so-eligible-port of Muara Angke.... sitting back in the edge of the ship, feel sleepy, enjoying the breeze and splashing water, watching the sea water changes color, from black ... brown .. . green ... dark blue ...and freshly light blue color welcoming the ship when it reached Pari Island dock.

Welcome to Pari Island

A row of simple yet neat local houses, friendly locals, and beautiful nature .... trully a small paradise. From end to the far end of the island can be reached simply by riding a bike or even walk.

On the eastern end of the island, there is Pasir Perawan (Virgin Sand) beach, a white and smooth sandy beaches, decorated by mangrove clusters... perfect place to catch sunrise in the morning, or a campfire at night. While in the western end of the island are LIPI (science research institutions) complex, a perfect place for beautiful sunset hunting.
