How to Get 1000 Islands Trip in Low Cost

Thousand Islands is one of  DKI Jakarta region . It is a group of island which located near from north Jakarta. The beautiful nature on the island and under the sea will be attract every one to enjoy every moment in this island. Because of the large number of islands, every visitor never came to stay in one island. They tend to move from one island to other island because they will never feel enough for seeing Thousand Island beauty. Even though these islands is near from Jakarta, you will never find air and water pollution here. Local government has been aware about local potential on island and under the sea. It affects the local government  to be concern in protecting it's nature.

Before starting this trip, you should decide which one of these islands that you want to visit. Even though you want to enjoy more than one island, you still have to choose one main island  to stay on the night and put your baggage there. Common islands where visitor choose are Pramuka island, Tidung island and Harapan island. In these islands, you can find place to stay and food easily.

After decide the main island where you want to stay, next step is find how to go there. You can only use water transportation to go to The Thousand Islands. It will be better for you if you take the first ship in early morning to go there because of low sea tides. Moreover, it will reduce your seasick. Further more, i suggest you to use ship from Angke harbor ( North Jakarta) to getting there. This ship can bring max 200 person in once trip. This transportation will spent 3 until 4 hours from Angke to Thousand Island. Because it takes long time to go to Thousand Island, i suggest you to take a sit on the second floor or in front of ship because he sea will present you an amazing show while the trip. You just have to pay 50.000 idr / person for this show. This ship will stop in every large island. You can go out when the ship already arrived on your destination.




You probably will spent your day on the boat or in the sea. Not only because you want to enjoy the panorama but also you have to do that because nothing at all that you can do on your main Island. Electricity will be off from 7 a.m until 4 p.m which mean that there is no  entertainment that you can get from television or radio. Because most of your activities will take place on the sea and other Island, you just have to make sure that your place is comfortable enough for sleep and has enough water for bathing. For the standard house you can pay 350.000 idr/ 2 days. This price is worth for one living room with air conditioner and television, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom and 2-4 extra bad. There is no maximum capacity people who can stay in this house.




After explain about boat and house,  the another things which you should concern is about food.  On this island, you can buy some food from local restaurant. All food in this restaurant is quite cheap between 6.000-20.000 idr/ once meal. Besides that you can make a deal with local people to prepare meal for you even seafood barbecue. They will cook for you for 3 times meal and once time for seafood barbecue in the night. You should make a good negotiation to get 100.000 idr / person for this service.


The last but not the least is about what you can do there and how much money which you have to spent for those.


After arriving in the main Island such as Tidung Island, you can start your activity with biking. It will give you good experience while biking around the island with your friends. You just have spent 15.000idr/ bycycle. Besides that, on Harapan Island you also can rent traditional vehicle (becak) to bring you around the island. Further more, if want to do snorkeling in middle sea, you can rent a goggle and frog shoes by paying 30.000-50.000idr/ pairs. Besides that you have to rent a the smaller ship with max capacity about 15-20 person. You just have to pay 300.000-500.000 idr/ day for this ship. The captain will bring you to the others island or  middle sea for snorkeling. He will wait you and bring you to the other one again wherever and whenever you ask him. Besides that, don't forget to visit another island such as Soerharto Island (second president of Indonesia), Kayu putih Island and etc. Because every island is protected by a guard, you have to give the a pack of cigarette to enter that island.



I thought that is quite enough for you to start your trip to Thousand Island. If you come to there with 6-10 friends, you can press your budget until 200.000-250.000idr/ person. Besides that, if you want the travel agent for prepare all those things for you, you only pay 3.500.000idr/ 10 person. Have a Good Trip.
