Indonesia consists of around 17,508 islands, offering a spectacular diversity of landscapes and culture. For ages travelers have marveled at the sights and sounds of the islands in this archipelagic country.
In this island country, island hopping has almost become an art.
There are boats readily available at cheap rates to facilitate island hopping in Indonesia. In between the islands there are many wonders to see in the rivers or seas.
The Riau Archipelago offers many small islands close to one another with easily available boats in Tanjung Pinang. Riau is easily accessible by boat from Singapore, from Pekanbaru in Sumatra or from Pontianak in West Kalimantan. The rivers are full of wrecks of World War II ships. Riau is a favorable destination for divers and coral enthusiasts.
Pulau Peucang and Pulau Panaitan are both sizable islands and part of a nature reserve west of Java. The spectacular under water cliffs of Tanjung Layar are a short boat ride from Peucang. Kepulauan Seribu (thousand islands) is a group of 110 islands on the Bay of Jakarta, easily reached from Jakarta by boat or aircraft. Several islands, developed as tourist resorts, have bird or marine sanctuaries. Komodo has hard coral reefs in clear warm waters in north, whereas on south cool waters from deep Indian Ocean are often visited by whales, whale sharks and likes. All these places make excellent stop-bys for divers and island hoppers.
North Sulawesi has plenty of speedboats and sailboats for hire. Malaku has almost a thousand islands with magnificent underwater reserves. These are favorite places for marine enthusiasts.
Lore Kalamata is reachable from Palu, Central Sulawesi to Kulawi or Gimpu, by foot with guides.
Lowland and mountain, forests, streams, wildlife anoa (swarf buffalo), babi rusa, black macaques are all found in this region. There are also interesting ancient stone structures in the valleys. A boat trip through the Alas River to Gunung Leuser with glimpses of rhinos, orang utans, tigers, elephants, gibbons, leaf monkeys, jungle cats, forest deer, otters, hornbills, and argus pheasants may remind you of Congo River.
