Thousand Islands: Private Snorkelling & Canoeing Day Escape

Escape to the Kepulauan Seribu — Jakarta's Thousand Islands — for a private tropical day of snorkelling over coral gardens, canoeing through crystal-clear bays, and lounging on near-deserted white-sand beaches.

What to expect

A private speedboat whisks you north from Tanjung Priok into the Java Sea, arriving at a scattering of palm-fringed islands with turquoise shallows and coral-rich waters. Your guide leads a snorkelling session over vivid reef gardens teeming with tropical fish, followed by a relaxed canoe exploration of a sheltered mangrove bay. A freshly prepared seafood lunch on a private island beach — think grilled fish, coconut rice, and tropical fruit — is an unrushed highlight. The return speedboat gives you ample time for all-aboard.

Good to know

Speedboat departure is from Tanjung Priok or nearby Marina Ancol — confirm with operator. Total travel time each way is approx. 45–60 min by fast boat. Book a full private speedboat charter (not shared) for the luxury experience. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and a dry bag. Sea conditions can vary — confirm weather on the day.
