This journey was started from my sister's story.

She has visited Pulau Peucang, Pulau Handeleum and Ujung Kulon before.

I was a little bit curious with this place.

So, I planned trip to there by searching it on website Indonesian backpacker.

All agreed, and we went there then.

Our meeting point is about 21.00 PM at Plaza Semanggi.

Then, we took a bus to the harbor near Anyer.

It took about 6 hours to go there.

 

It takes about 3-4 hours of sailing.

But it is worthed, if you see the view.

My first stop was Pulau Peucang.

Peucang island is located in the area Pandeglang district, Banten province, Indonesia, and is part of the Ujung Kulon National Park which has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. With an area of 450 hectares, soft white shores and turquoise-colored water can be a place to relieve your fatigue, a true Untouched Natural Heaven.

 

It is possible to explore the entire island's 3 hectares by trekking through wild nature. Trekking takes explorers to the island along the shore where they can enjoy and appreciate the beautiful beaches of white sand and crystal clear waters set against the Indian Ocean as backdrop. The abundant white sand here also happens to be a natural habitat for spawning turtles.

The tropical rain forest is slightly cooler and offers a wonderful respite from the sun and beach. Inside the forest are various plants and large-diameter trees requiring 3 to 4 adults to encircle their trunks. Hike towards the Citerjun waterfall offers visitors a swimming opportunity in crystal clear waters near the waterfall. Along the way, visitors are treated to fascinating glimpses of wild animals like deer, mouse deer, Javanese bulls, Javanese civets, green peacocks, hornbills, black monkeys, squirrels, wild boars and large lizards. Javanese Rhinoceros, fortunately, do not live here though.

Next stop, we explore Karang Copong.

Karang Copong, north of Pulau Peucang is a big dead coral reef with a hole. The location offers travelers another opportunity to swim, dive or snorkel to the spectacular site of various underwater species including colorful small fishes like angelfish, surgeonfish, clownfish, batfish, butterfly fish and lionfish. With some luck divers here may be approached by groups of turtles.

Afternoon comes, we go to the next island, called Pulau Handeleum.

We stayed one night there.

Wow, and the sun goes down!

It's a beautiful sky that I've ever seen.

Next morning, our activity is explore the river by canoe-ing

It feels like you entered the amazone river...Hahahah!

However you get here, don't forget to bring along sneakers for trekking, and swimwear, sunglasses, sunblock, mosquito repellant and a hat or cap. 

Challenging yet fun adventure waits you in Pulau Peucang. 

See your story there!
