From None Wimmy's Blog - Tidung Island: Hidden Treasure in Jakarta

Yes, we can spend only Rp. 250.000 for the 2 days 1 night 'down-to-earth-full-of-fun' trip of island hopping, sun burning, cycling, snorkeling, sunset and sunrise viewing in... JAKARTA!

Cycling around the island. The usual price to rent is Rp. 15.ooo per day, but we got it for free! Yeayy!

Greeny watery like a jewellery

On a busy Monday, me and my friend decided to have a quick get-away to Tidung Island, a small island populated by 4000 people in Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta. Decided to take a ship from the fish market Muara Angke, we spent almost 3 hours to get there, sitting on the roofless top deck with the windy sea and burning sun. If you can't stand with the sea-sick, I suggest you to sit inside the ship where it reduces the shaky-feeling from the high wave.

Arrived and starving at 11.00 am in the morning, we went straight to the brunch to have a bowl of Indomie, then asked poeple there where we should stay. After spent almost an hour asking and bargaining, we finally decided to stay together with the owners in a very simple home. Because Tidung Island is a populated island, some rules must be obeyed here.Shorts, drugs, and unmarried couple staying together are strictly forbidden.

After all of our urgent-bussiness finished.. Now it's time for us to enjoy the island! Here are some pictures we took from walking around the island, cycling, crossing the bridge to another smaller island, island hopping to Payung and Air Island, snorkeling, sunset viewing, until meeting and having a very fun time with 2 people we just met there!
