Karimunjawa

What will you feel when you sit there, watching the calm sunset in a calm island, which is not so known?









Or, sailing in wooden canoe along the river that goes towards the clear watered sea, with virgin mangrove forests all over the edge?










Witness the clear water, that you can see through virgin coral reefs, embordered by green beaches with slender coconut trees that dance as the wind blows...











A young fellow joyfully cherish the richness of the land, climbing up for fresh coconut juice in a sunny day...













And the sharks are being protected here,












As well as the green turtles that discover their freedom to breed










Rest. Feel free, relieve yourself from the crowded world around you. The beauty of mother nature will heal you, here, in Karimunjawa Islands, Central Java-Indonesia...
