Pulau Harapan Island 2-Day Open Trip from Jakarta

Pulau Harapan sits in the Northern Thousand Islands National Marine Park, a couple of hours by ferry from Jakarta, and this 2-day 1-night open trip gets you there with the logistics sorted. You'll travel as part of a small group, departing from either Kaliadem Pier at Muara Angke or Marina Ancol Pier, and spend a night in an island homestay rather than rushing through as a day-tripper.<br><br>The first day covers the ground you'd hope for on an island trip: lunch and check-in on arrival, an afternoon snorkelling session over coral reef, and island hopping out to Perak Island, Gosong Perak and Bulat Island. As evening sets in, there's a fish barbecue on the beach followed by free time to explore Harapan after dark. Day two starts early with sunrise views from the pier, a relaxed breakfast, and the option to visit the turtle conservation on Kelapa Dua Island before the ferry back to Jakarta.<br><br>Round-trip ferry tickets, three meals, one night in an air-conditioned homestay, snorkelling gear and underwater photos are all included, so the main things to sort out yourself are sun protection and toiletries.
