Years end in Jakarta can be a stressful experience - traffic is worse than usual, flight prices go through the roof, and organizing family vacations can take a nightmarish cast. Fortunately, a little-known chain of islands right on the Jakarta threshold can do it much, much easier.
Very often, it is the attempt to actually leave Jakarta that can transform even the most affable of commuters in a madman. We've all been there - toll gate queues stretching to the horizon, the sun reflecting off moist countless bumpers and windshields, and ojek brushing handlebars literally under our noses. This is even before we get to the airport and crowds rushing brave, a registrar overtaxed and immigration officers scrutinizing. Add a couple of kids in this mixture, and it is quite a combustible combination that makes a vacation almost not worth it.
Fortunately, there are some options much closer to home that can accommodate families, singles or groups who wish to go out and have fun!
Although we are in the rainy season, the crossing remains generally quite safe, and make it to the islands is fast. boat options can vary from quiet family cruiser yachts to party with DJs and drinks plenty of options.
If you are staying on board is your thing, there are a myriad of different activities to continue. There are a few diving spots around the Thousand Islands - indeed, some diving schools hold accreditation around some of the easiest reefs. Fishing is still available, although some fish stocks were slightly depleted in recent times. Other water sports can be rented at the stations on the islands, such as kayaking, windsurfing and jet ski rental.
party boats can be arranged very easily. Get some friends together, nominate your favorite music or drink, and that's all there is to it! Choose either a cruise around all day, or snuggle in a sheltered bay - it is yours. Just be aware that motoring all day chewing more fuel, and therefore increase the cost.
The nights can be arranged on board one of the many boats to Pulau Seribu liveaboard serving. Drift to sleep with the relaxing sound of water lapping at the side of the boat is a soothing experience indeed, and much preferable to the blaring horns or catcall of nasi sellers at 6am! If sleeping on board is not your thing, there are more than a dozen stations scattered throughout the islands with varying degrees of quality and price variables.
Have an Indonesian on the Thousand Islands, and there is a good chance that they do not have one either! It is certainly a shame that most turn their eyes entirely to East Nusa Tenggara for a beach holiday with so many decent options close to home.
