Waters of Tropical Java Islands

Due to its underwater appeal in the form of coral reefs that can be seen at a depth of 6 meters, Karimun Jawa is a national park that is a favorite diving location. Green turtles, sometimes known as side turtles, will immediately accompany divers. Alternatively, we can go to Sintok Island if you'd want to watch how sea turtles hatch. From November through March, sea turtles utilize the island as a breeding site and frequent port. Visitors are welcome to participate in the official release of turtle eggs into the sea.

It is a place with its unique natural beauty that provides both on- and off-the-water experiences.

Karimunjawa provides camping and forest hiking in addition to maritime tourism. The trail will go to the inland mangrove walk in the canal as well as Bukit Bendera, Bukit Tengkorak, Bukit Maming, and Bukit Bendera. Because it contains ideal ground for bird habitats, the Karimunjawa coastline area is also a sanctuary for migrating birds from the northern hemisphere.
