Pulau Pramuka is a beautiful island in the middle of the Thousand Islands Marine National Park in the Bay of Jakarta located further off into the Java Sea. This cluster includes PulauTidung, PulauBidadari, Pulau Ayer and others. Pramuka also acts as the central administration for the whole Thousand Islands District. It has an area of approximately 9 acres and is part of KeluruhanPulauPanggang, North Thousand Islands District, Jakarta Province.
The sea around PulauPramuka is ideal for snorkeling or scuba diving because the water is extremely clear and calm. This area also sports a spectacular coral reef, surrounded by a large variety of colorful fish swimming freely among the coral. In addition to coral reefs, the beaches of this island have long stretches of pearly white sand and a turquoise sea that will have you planning your next visit at first sight!

Another sight you won’t want to miss is the Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate). This rare species is bred and cared for in a natural environment, designed specifically to meet their special needs. Save a day to visit these interesting animals.

Pulau Pramuka is very well inhabited, mostly by fishermen. Their lives are fairly well off, and most of the houses here are very reasonable. It is the most populated island in the Thousand Islands Marine National Park, composed of various ethnic communities, namely: the Betawi from Jakarta, the Bugis from South Sulawesi, Banten from West Java, and Madura from East Java.
One of the interesting spots is the APL, (Area PerlindunganLaut, literally translated, Sea Protection Area). Here you can see various kinds of exotic sea life such as rare fish, coral, and coral reefs. There is also a narrow spot with a large variety of particularly beautiful coral. You can also enjoy snorkeling on the island of PulauSemakDaun and Pulau Air which are located not far from Pulau Pramuka.

Looking for an adrenaline rush? Try the banana boat ride, steered by experienced, fun-loving drivers, whose main purpose (usually) is to make the ride as thrilling as you request. You can even request to be thrown into the sea if you wish. With unexpected turns and catching the waves at just the right angle creating drops, you will be in for a fast and fun ride!
For a quieter, more relaxing experience take a canoe or bike ride around the island. Another option offered here is fishing which you can do on the dock of the island which is located directly at the front of the island. You could also hire a fishing boat to take you to a specific location known for having many fish.
