I will explain here how to get Karimun Java via two different sides, from the east or Surabaya and from the west or from the direction of Jakarta, it could be from the south ie Jogjakarta or Magelang, and I will tell how the accommodations in Karimun Java, a tourist destination , what should be avoided, what can be done in karimunjawa, how to Karimun Java using the car and speed boat or ferry schedules to Karimun Java.
HOW TO GET THERE
Benchmark or focal point to reach Karimun Java are two of the city, if from the west and if you want more quickly to the city Karimun Java Semarang, the capital of Central Java. Profits reached the city of Semarang is certain of course, can be quickly up to use a fast boat, the cost to ship quickly from Semarang to Karimun Java about 160 thousand dollars through the port of Cape mas, maybe now the price has gone up again. But if you want to achieve Karimun Java using the car, only one city that provide the ferry to Karimun Java Jepara Kartini through the port. If from the east or from Surabaya, the most precise that can only accomplish jepara, from Jepara car can Rev up the ferry. If from the south or jogjakarta or Magelang to choose between the two cities, Semarang or Jepara, if a car is better just to Jepara.
ACCOMMODATION
Hotel accommodations or temporary residence in Karimun Java is a lot, even by international standards also exist, ranging from the resort is also home to stay there, while the most expensive this resort by providing lots of facilities, only kura kura resort, homestay in karimunjawa average price of about 80 thousand to 150 thousand, for a class or classes being homeless, ranging from 200 thousand to 400 thousand dollars, while for class resort there are up to 1.8 million / night.
As information only kura kura resort provides airport pick-up with a plane through Semarang, so the travel time from Semarang to Karimunjawa only about 30 minutes. My experience during the Karimun Java using your own car with my adoptive parents, we went through the port of Jepara Kartini, mileage by using the ferry from Jepara 6 hours, then only one thing that brings our own vehicles, on the ferry just a big truck carrying basic needs of the island of Java, cooking oil, fabric, need spare part shop ships and others.
We stayed at the floating guesthouse water near the main island (karimunjawa), is not so bad but it has its own charm of this house, in the guesthouse there is a captive sharks, I was swimming with sharks in captivity, the house was standing in the middle or at above sea level, if you like snorkeling or diving just stay down just outside the door haahahahaha ..
The second day we moved into nirvana resort, this is the best place I've ever flown in Karimun Java, a resort with many amenities and the beach has its own, home-style stone and timber house resort, has clean beaches and friendly staff.
The third day we moved again to the highest peak on the island of Java Karimun, we rented a villa, quiet and cool, just the sound of crickets and geckos are here, the view that we can no less beautiful house when we lived in water and nirvana resort, facilities there is also air conditioning in this place.
Food
Not many restaurants in Karimun Java, but many hotels that provide food seafood, small shops which provide the food is also only a few, the price is also different when compared with the food on the island of Java, the Java Karimun eat a little bit expensive and rare major vegetable food .
Karimun Java in the local community has a fundamental activity of all, most of them are fishermen and farmers. there is an opening there are wetland which processes seaweed as a food ingredient itself or sold back to the city of Semarang or Jepara. Karimun Java community are more reliant on fisheries or the marine sector, which is why many people who have Karimun wooden boat for fishing or take seaweed for a living.
Condition
Karimun Java is only a small island with several other islands around the main island (Karimun Java), this condition makes Karimun much in the interest of tourists, but the demand for electricity that makes the lack of this island, until recently Karimun Java using diesel and electric power in its use even this limit, only to houses only, if there are hotels that use local power, they are in limiting its use only until 10 pm only, which is why many high-priced hotels in karimunjawa because they use their own power, like nirvana resort and homestead water, they use diesel-powered electricity.
Ferry is only available once a week, the staples in favor of the island of Java, which is why the price of food in Karimun Java is slightly more expensive than in Java, because many of the materials supplied from the island of Java.
Fuel. If you bring a car or motorcycle to this island, I recommend to fill up the fuel before entering the Karimun Java, because no gas station, this is my experience when taking the car to Karimun Java. There diluent or seller of gasoline but the price is different than in Java.
