Did you know Jakarta boasts a marine paradise rivaling Indonesia’s renowned coastal destinations? Nestled in Kepulauan Seribu, Pantara Island is emerging as a luxurious haven, reminiscent of a high-end hotel but surrounded by breathtaking ocean beauty.
Situated north of Jakarta, Pantara Island or Pulau Pantara is just a 2 to 2.5-hour speedboat ride away, similar to the journey to the well-known Pulau Macan.
Though it may not have the fame of Pulau Tidung or Pulau Pari, Pulau Pantara holds a special allure for those who have ventured there. This small, uninhabited resort island is a favorite for nature enthusiasts, particularly those captivated by the underwater world.
Pulau Pantara offers pristine underwater vistas, making it a hotspot for divers and snorkelers. Its underwater beauty has become a new favorite among tourists, drawing them in to explore its depths.
Pulau Pantara Timur, while owned by the Indonesian government, is managed privately. As a result, all facilities, including cottages and tourist amenities, are under private ownership and management.
Thanks to this private management, Pulau Pantara is meticulously maintained, offering hotel-like facilities despite its remote location from Jakarta. Visitors can enjoy amenities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and karaoke rooms, providing a blend of comfort and entertainment.
Staying overnight is highly recommended if you plan to visit Pulau Pantara. The island management typically does not cater to One Day Trips. Given the distance and the island’s offerings, resting before and after your exploration is essential for a fulfilling experience.
Because of its serene atmosphere and calm waves, Pulau Pantara is perfect for snorkeling or a leisurely swim. The tranquility and natural beauty of Pulau Pantara make it a must-visit.
Travelers can choose from various packages, ranging from one-day tours to overnight stays. For a 2-day, 1-night package, departures are from Pantai Mutiara TB 12, North Jakarta at 8:30 AM, with the return journey from Pulau Pantara at 1:30 PM.
Whether you seek an underwater adventure or a peaceful retreat, Pulau Pantara promises an unforgettable experience amidst Jakarta’s hidden marine treasures.
