Jakarta is a capital of Indonesia
it is one of the busiest cities in the world
and I just found out there's another side of Jakarta that is paradise called
Thousand Islands
today I'll be starting from Ancol Marina
the north coast of the capital to the Thousand Islands
I am Marissa Nicole follow me on my mini get away to paradise
okay so right now I am going to the deck and I'm gonna board the boat over here
there's a lot of boats over here
it's a beautiful day
perfect to be exploring
hello
hi.... how are you?
I am Marissa
your the captain right
yes I am the captain
this is Pramuka Island
the first island we stopped at
and also the spot of my home stay for the night
wow !!!! the view is so much different than this city view of Jakarta
over here is where we're staying
and we're staying in a little home stay
there's a room here
and then there's a room over there
they have a lot of different rooms kind of spread out
hi... hello...
hi...Munstar
Marissa
nice to meet you
they have chairs over here
so you can lounge over here
oh this looks really nice
I think I am gonna lay down over here
maybe tan my skin
lay out and get some sun
I see a lot of different local people here
there's a local over here
I don't know what they're selling
oh they're selling ice cream
oh....
so they have a lot of different choices that you can pick
yeah
and then
so over here is a really big area
but it is really hot here
okay so we are about to eat
we have on the table here
there's fish
fish
egg
I believe this is cumi cumi
calamari
sayur asem
chilli sauce
yea!!!
krupuk
and I am just going to dig into everything
I am eyeing the fish
especially because I'm sure they freshly make it here right here on the island
so that's what I'm gonna try first
I apologize
I was so hungry
I just pretty much devoured my meal
but as far as the seafood the seafood was really good
it was something very different here on the island
because
you can really taste the freshness of the fish and then the calamari was excellent
I loved the breading of the calamari
and yeah
so we're gonna wait 30 more minutes
and then head on to the boat
and then we're gonna go to a different Island
because here
they have so many different islands that are spread out
so we're gonna go ahead and visit
and explore
just see what it is
and here
it's really hot so I am thinking about getting in the water
but I'm not sure because I'm sick right now
but as far as the water the water is
actually it's pretty clear and it's pretty blue
so we're going to go to the boat
but in order to go to the boat we have to take this local transportation to get there
whoa......
this is the second island and it's so breathtaking
right now I finally made it to the island
and it is called SEPA
so Sepa Island
that's right
and the water is really blue
look at the water
oh my god it's so beautiful
and you can see a lot of different kayakers right there
and I believe these people were snorkeling
but wow the water is so clear
woooaa.....I'm super excited
so this is the Island Sepa
and we're just gonna go explore
yeah so come follow me
ahhh...... the water is cold
it's cold
but if feels really good
refreshing
I am actually a beach girl by heart
so I actually really love the beach
so I am like in my element right now
the water is so beautiful
there's music
what is she building over here
but this just gives me....
it just reminds me of my childhood
and it's really nice
yea
there's more tourists over here
you see them over here over here
over here
and they also have like bungalows over there
so you can actually stay on this island
and I believe a couple people stay in chill
and just like have fun
and just enjoy the day
so I think it's cool
now I'm heading to the next Island which is called Putri Island
ya!!! I'm so excited
okay so I just got here
and we're at Putri Island
and somebody was telling me that Putri actually means a girl
so I think that's interesting
they named this island after a girl
there is a tons of mermaids over there
and I heard they have an aquarium here
so what is really interesting they have an aquarium underneath here
and to go in the aquarium you have to go through this stairway over here
and she's actually going inside there
you take that stairway over there
so let's go
Wow
this is nice
I can't believe that we were just right up there
next up is one of the most popular islands for foreigners
and also attracts honeymooners to the island known as Tiger Island
so pulau macan eco resort
it says Welcome
we're gonna go right through there and check it out
so let's go
and actually I see a a lot of different canoes here
so you canoe or kayak
and I believe there's a lot of different other water sports you can do
the last Island I saw they had the banana boat
which I've never done but I would like to like check it
and experience it
I love to play in the water
but I think we might do some snorkeling
yeah
so basically Tiger Island was just a bunch of little cottages here
and there all throughout the island
and then they have a hammock here
these kids are playing on the hammock
nice
hi
hi... hi....
where are you from
Ireland
Wow!!! nice!!!
enjoy your vacation
thanks
here's a restaurant over here
so they don't really have to too much on the island
just a restaurant and the cottages
they have a little game area here
so you can play games
they have ping-pong
I think there's a little bar you can buy snacks and chili
but I mean this is basically it
I mean it's a small island
this is what get
but you get a beautiful view and the cottages a lot of them don't have doors on them
so it's just kind of like when you wake up you can see the view which is really nice
okay we are boarding and we're going to the next Island
this is the last island right? yeah....
she's uh paddling or something like that
I forgot what that's called
what is that called
I forgot
but she's playing in the water
how nice
the water is blue
okay so now we switched boats
and it is a small boat and actually I am really terrified of a small boat
but I just got to do it
we're going to take a small boat to the next Island
and basically all today has just been island hopping
next is an island where I get to go snorkeling at Gosong Petrik Island
and I'm so excited
how can I say no to this water when it's calling to come play and swim
yay
I'm so excited
it looks really deep
so I don't know
I'm not sure if I want to go in there
I'm actually terrified
one of my fears is going into the water and not seeing what's inside
or if something comes after me
I'm not sure
but you can see there's a lot of different boats over there
and then they just say there
and then they also have the snorkelers over there
so he has the bread right here
so what he's gonna do is feed the fish
be careful
okay
so he has bread inside that bottle
and he's gonna let it out
and feed all of them
I got a surprise from your crew to go to another breathtaking island called Air Island
that is known for a picture spot for taking photos
wooa!!!
right now I'm here at a different little island
there is white sands here
and it's a little strip over here
and actually it is really beautiful
we have the water
we have have a beautiful view
the sunset is going to be happening soon
ah... it's just really nice
look at it
it's so nice
really nice
actually here I was a bit scared because the water was so deep and I couldn't see anything that was below me
so I just got done today and I was island hopping and everything was nice
and we just got here at our place where we're staying at
it's called Telor Gulung
and I'm gonna try it
I've never tried this before
so it looks like its crispy
and I'm sure there's egg inside
tastes like an omelette nothing special
it's good
I am going to check out a new area and it is Taman Nasional Kepulauan Seribu
so I am just gonna go check it out and see what it's about and just explore
I like exploring
okay so right here there's a lot of different turtles
right here look
oh my gosh
you can see them
wow
that is cool
usually the turtles here they have a house
where they take care of them and farm them but actually they are doing a renovation over there
so they put them in the sea
and actually way in the corner
there's actually baby turtles but I can't see them
probably because they're too small
but I do see the bigger turtles right there
the little turtles are actually in here
I'm sorry
okay
so there's a whole bunch of mini turtles
look at them
so cute
awww.... he's so little
hi little one
over here you get a closer look of the sea
and the tide is coming
and you can see the waves
it's a low tide right now
but it feels really good
it's really windy
and actually perfect weather
it is just nice to be outside
and you can see all the coral on the bottom
you can see it perfectly clear
the water is really clear
and it is just beautiful
I mean look you have all that landscape of the sea
it is just gorgeous
Indonesia has a lot of different islands
and this is just one of them that we're at
and I hope to explore more islands in Indonesia
because there is 17,000 different here in Indonesia
and I have only been to a couple
and every time I go visit a different Island all of them are so different
the water color is different
the scenery is different
the things to do on the island are different
so I have a lot of exploring to do but I do recommend if you haven't explored any of the islands that I visited
I definitely recommend for you to go try it out at least once and go
just get a different scenery and try it out enjoy some nice scenery
and then enjoy the water
the water was clear and blue
wow this is beautiful
this is Indonesia
hi guys
are you playing
okay Good Luck
cool
so right now I just landed to a different....
ugh......
I guess it's up it's a boarding dock
and they have a restaurant
and what was the island called
Nusa K.......
this is a restaurant
okay there's a boardwalk over here
and what I'm going to do is
they say that there's a shark over here
and the guy he's going to feed the shark
so I'm just gonna take a look
I've never seen somebody feed a shark
so this is going to be exciting
let's go
WOW!!!!
how cool!!! look at this!!!
wow....
look at this guys
wow......
I just finished a awesome Indonesian culinary feast
and we had really good seafood straight from this island
aww... man.... we had so many good dishes here
and I've enjoyed my time island hopping at Thousand Islands
we got to go to so many different Islands
and the water here is really nice
most of the water I been to it's very clear and blue
and all there's just so many things to do
and definitely you need to come and explore
remember Indonesia has different islands
and a lot of them
17,000 Islands to be exact
or even more actually
so I definitely recommend for anybody to try exploring here in Indonesia
definitely explore
this wraps up today's video
so I will see you on the next video
until then keep living, keep exploring, keep eating
bye... bye....
next time I will be back for sure to explore another Island in Thousand Islands
