Weekend Trips

Tidung Island is the largest of the Thousand Islands just off the coast of Ancol, Jakarta. You can get a boat from Ancol to Tidung Island but the cost is around 300k IDR.

If you get the boat from the other port called Kale Adem, it only costs 80k IDR and only takes 1hr to get there. You cannot book the tickets from Kale Adem so it’s first come first serve so make sure you get there early.

From Kale Adem there’s around 3 boats per day going to the island and coming back. The times; I’m unsure of but it’s easy enough to check on google as it changes from time to time.

This is also the only one of the Thousand Islands that has a hospital and police station should anything happen on your trip.

Tidung island has a mixture of home stays, backpacker floating wooden budget hotels named Tidung Lagoon, and it also has very nice accommodation from the same people that run tidung lagoon. Just ask them when you contact them, I’ve included the link and number below and just ask for Lauren.

This one is the fancy, brand new air conditioned accommodation on the island:- http://tidung.id/

This one is the older budget/backpacker type style but still very beautiful and a great location: - https://tidunglagoon.com/

From Ancol or Kale Adem = 1hr boat ride.
