www.travelme7.blogspot.com  Clean sea water , beautiful white sand , coral reefs and many exotic islands cluster presented together in Karimun Island . Route to reach the island is also within easy reach . Here's how !

We of Kebumen , Central Java . There are two routes to the route Semarang Karimunjawa and Jepara . Incidentally there was a family in Jepara , so a trip using the Jepara .

Thursday at 7:00 pm until at Jepara Kartini Beach pier . Transportation to the pier fairly complicated , so be smart in your selection. There are rickshaws or charter use of public transport bus route down AKDP .

The relative price of Rp 10,000 - Rp 15,000 per head , still fairly reasonable, because if it does not bring a private vehicle then the alternative is to be the only option . Dock facilities in salty water , so if you want to worship , waste water out yourself lah how preparations

If you are a backpacker like us, come early to the dock . Guaranteed if it comes late , tickets to the sold aka Publications wait until the next day , when the boat schedule there . Lucky we got a ticket express Cantika with 263 seat capacity and take 2 hour trip to the island .

It could also take regular ticket Moriah 6-7 hour drive , for those who want to bring personal vehicles motorcycles . Express ticket to Rp 90,000 per head ( maximum USD 200 thousand ) , regular Rp 30,000 per head ( maximum of Rp 50 thousand ) . Do not forget tickets for a departing message !
