Indonesia is an archipelagic country with 17,000 islands, but many foreigners know Bali better than Indonesia. There are actually lots of tourist attractions in Indonesia, from islands, mountains, caves, to temples. One of them is in the Thousand Islands. The Thousand Islands are to the north of the city of Jakarta. This thousand island tourist attraction is very beautiful, with gentle sea breezes, super clear water and colorful coral reefs that will give an unforgettable impression.
TIDUNG ISLAND ? BIGGEST AND BEST
One of the islands is Tidung Island, which is northwest of Jakarta, about 40km and can be reached by speedboat in about 1 hour or by ferry (Wood boat) in about 2.5 hours. This island is a residential island with the most complete facilities compared to the other thousand islands. This island consists of two islands, Tidung Besar and Tidung Kecil, which are connected by a beautiful 400m long love bridge. Apart from that, the island is surrounded by gudus (natural coral) which protects the island from being hit by waves. From the coastline to the gudus is shallow, only around 40cm to 1.2m. There you will find all kinds of marine life from shellfish, snails, seaweed, fish, to lobsters. Exploring this beach is very interesting and challenging, especially for those who understand and have experience. You can easily collect shellfish to eat. Not bad if you go on a trip, just boil it home with your favorite chili sauce.
BEST LODGING ON TIDUNG ISLAND
There are several unique and fun lodging options. One of them is atTidung Lagoon where the facilities are built above the clear sea and all the facilities and nature become a place to play. Children can play in the sand and swim all day long, or fathers who like fishing can go fishing straight away and squid fishing at night, or mothers who like hanging out can look for the most comfortable place according to the direction of the light breeze. There are various complete tour packages with attractive special prices.
Apart from that, there are also many homestays spread across residential areas at affordable prices, of course with minimal facilities and quite a variety. However, we also recommend trying Grand Lagoon which is located to the west of Tidung Besar with an area of ??4ha. There is a private beach and other facilities there so this place is very suitable for group and corporate tourism. They also provide special packages for large groups with separate facilities and arrangements.
Happy traveling!
