No need to go far, Sepah Island is very pleasant for a family vacation

Me and My Wife

In this life, we must seriously live it, but we sometimes also need pleasant surprises, though it is beyond our previous plan. Admittedly, the holiday by planning it would be better, but the opportunity to enjoy the holidays with the family does not come many times, It can occur abruptly and spontaneously.  Holidays would be more striking in the heart when we enjoy it in a loose, natural and pretending. For us, that's true vacation bliss. Keep in mind, the holidays do require big money and money is very important, but the happy impression gained is far more important for the integrity and harmony of the family.  To save money, vacations do not have in distant places and famous, all around us there must be amazing places we've never visited, and can be a fun vacation spot. 

Enjoy being with family, enjoy a vacation, and good fun...

As will be docked at the pier Sepah Island

 A week ago, my wife and I, and my two sons on vacation to Sepah Island, one of the islands in the Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta, Indonesia, rent a speed boat with a capacity of 10-20 adults.  We went there without a plan. In the morning, we visited the Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, and around 11:00 we were together brother, brother in law, mother, nephew, all around 10 adults plus 10 children aged 2-7 years, decided to cross the island, with no clear information, where and what's going on there, we just want to relax and have fun with family.

Around of Sepah Island

 It's been eight years have passed, when my wife and I vacation in 'Tidung Island', is still in an administrative area of Kepulauan Seribu, there are many homes of people living on the island, so that all the needs of food, lodging, and shopping seafood, still affordable and cheap. We assume everywhere we go in the Kepulauan Seribu region, probably still the same condition. We headed for the speed boat dock at Marina Ancol, and rented it for five million rupiah.  

Take a Picture Style

Our Youngest Son

 We only asked the captain where the island is still a good destination, and the captain directed us to ' Sepah Island '.  12 pm, approximately 80 minutes we arrived, we were very amazed, it turns out we missed estimates, we expect ordinary island, and was very nice, clean, and many foreign tourists there, from their skin, we guess they were from Australia, America or Europe, also from Japan or China as well as India, they play, diving, banana boat ride and boat motors.  Unfortunately there is no photo that we took from them. 

The Dock of Sepah Island

 Sepah Island is not big, quiet, and it turns out there were only cottages and homes of employees, equipped with restaurants plus live music, as well as rinse water in the vicinity of the beach.  Actually, we were a bit surprised because it was charged 70,000 rupiah per person, and we were offered a buffet lunch with 80,000 per - person price, my wife and I a little confused because we still have relied on our experience in the ' Tidung Island ' which is still inhabited by people of the island, after we asked questions, it turns out Sepah Island was created as a tourist island.  Then we discuss and decide to eat lunch at another island, we hope there are still inhabited island community that provides fresh seafood and cheap.

Until 3 pm, we were happy to play, volleyball, swimming, diving, and joking on the beach.  Clean beaches and clear water, perfect for families and honeymoon.  As far as 300 meters into the sea, the color looks different beaches, white-green-blue, very beautiful, but we did not venture too far because the limit 'seabed in' pretty close. 

When we returned, towards sunset

Towards sunset, naturally

  We continue our visit to another island for lunch because we do not stock a lot, and can not starve us too long, then we directed captain to a small island which is expanded ( reclaimed ), there are many fish cages of various kinds, named Nusa Keramba Island and still a territory with Pramuka Island.  On this island, there is only the central management of fish and sea restaurant, we ordered a variety of seafood with various spices, is delicious, fresh and much cheaper than restaurant Ancol or on land.  Almost an hour we ate together, and we were soon back for fear of rain and strong winds, Time 5.30 pm, we arrived back at the dock Marina Ancol, exhausting and fun.

 We were impressed with Indonesia, even to regions near anything, the sea is still good, we think only of Bali, Lombok, W Island in Aceh, Bunaken, Wakatobi or Bintan Island which have looks nice, turned out in Jakarta still save the landscape and marine products are good and beautiful.  Thanks God.
