Things to do in Jakarta, Java: The Best Nature & Parks
Chaotic, crowded, and cosmopolitan, Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is a city of contrasts. Home to millions of people from around the world, the city is a mixture of languages and cultures, poverty and wealth. The city boasts some of the best nightlife in Asia and some of the worst traffic. Every holiday, the locals escape the pollution and the crowds to enjoy relaxing diversions like Ancol Dreamland, an amusement area featuring water parks, beaches, golf courses, and a SeaWorld.

Our tour guide Epoy (krakatoatour) was amazing. He was funny and kept the whole tour interesting. He went into the rim to get good pictures of crater for me asking me to stay back. The driver iwan went out of his way to drop us to the harbor in Carita beach and making sure everything was smooth. Highly recommended!! for KrakatoaTour

First time going there with my friends to relax and experience new things. We were immediately greeted with a warm welcome by the staff named Louisa. We walked in awe and admiration towards the variety of animals presented as she explained all of their names, behaviors, characteristics, and so on. Thought we were on a National Geographic TV Show for a second there :D . We thought to ourselves that Louisa is truly knowledgeable & passionate about what she does that's why we never felt bored and keep entertained. . We proceed to see her explaining the archerfish, how to feed Meerkat. Those were unforgettable moments we would love to experience again. . But we kinda sad seeing those jellyfishes displayed so few..

Sea World could be one of your destination to bring your children. But you must prepare your children, especially who afraid of the dark. Because when you enter the sea world, it's a little bit dark in there. There's a tunnel where you can see under the sea life, with full of sea animal, there are big shark, hammerhead shark, sea turtle, starfish, and many more. There's also a little pool where the children can touch the baby sea animal. And there's a giant shark aquarium, on certain time, you can watch the diver feeding the shark. very excited.

Went here to spend quite new year, also need the sea air and relax. I normally stay on the resort island, which charge per person/ night, this time I went to an habitat island. Pramuka island. I book the hotel from booking.com and book the boat transport on seperate. The hotel was per room/night, and the boat was 1250 horse power motor, with aircon inside the cabin. It takes 1 hour from Ancol, and the boat leave at 8 am. When you get there the room will not be ready because the guest will only check out at 1 pm as the boat returning to Ancol leaving at 3 pm. ???? The hotel got no restaurant, but you can order simple food. I found this descent restaurant that serve descent food, with some tables and view. The restaurant name “kampoeng koneng” i think this is the only restaurant that serve nice hot clean food. Rent a boat for a day trip to island hop cost us Rp. 500k ( as we are only 2 person ) the floating restaurant got a nice cold beer, and the island around is beautiful. It’s a must do when you visit here, to rent a traditional wooden boat and do island hop. Don’t forget to bring your own bag to keep your own rubbish. Don’t leave anything behind :)
