"Karimunjawa islands off Java" Karimunjawa by theo1006

The Karimunjawa island group consists of 27 islands in the Java Sea 90 km north of Jepara. Only 5 of them are inhabited and the whole group has been declared a National Marine Park. They are the best destination from Java for snorkeling and scuba diving or just relaxing on the sandy beaches.

We had wanted to go there in 2008, but found out in time that the ferry "Muria" was out of service for repairs. So in May 2009 we spent five days there and were not disappointed. The number of foreign visitors is still very limited and domestic tourists arrive only on holidays, so it is easy to imagine that the islands are there just for you.
