Hehehehehe, it’s almost 2 weeks since me and my wife took a honeymoon in Karimunjawa, the beautiful archipelago in north of Java Island. I get in to share about our journey just now, because of my activity and soon. So, here we go guys 
It started from my wife’s resident, in Boja…

- 4.30, Mr. Munawar with his taxi took us to the Tanjung Mas Harbour. Arrived at Tanjung Mas Harbour at 05.30. We wait for Kartini Motor Boat that will be took us to the Karimunjawa Island
- 07.00, We departed from Tanjung Mas to the Jepara Harbour. It was not go directly to the Karimunjawa, because on that schedule, the boat will be transit in Jepara and after that it will be go to Karimunjawa Island.
@Tanjung Mas, ready to go - destination Jepara
When you want to take a trip to Karimunjawa, I suggest you to confirm about the boat schedule to the ASDP Jepara (hotline : (0291)591048 ) . There are 2 kinds of boat, Muria and Kartini. Muria is a ferry boat that depart from Jepara (usually at 9.00 am.). This boat need 6 hours to reach Karimunjawa Islands (long enough to make you feel seasick ). if you want to make a reservation ticket(for bussiness class), you can contact Mrs. Retno. She is the officer of ASDP Jepara. If you need her number, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email – helmi.fajar@gmail.com Kartini is a speed motor boat. It is usually depart from Tanjung Mas Harbour Semarang at 07.00 am. But it has an exception in Monday, you can use this boat from Jepara. It will depart from Jepara at 10.00 am. but again, I recommend you to contact ASDP Office for fix schedule of the ship. I bought the ticket in Semarang (Mr. Purwanto – please contact me via email to get his number). The ticket is more expensive than Muria. Kartini spend 3 hours to reach Karimunjawa (direct Semarang – Jepara)
Transit for a while @ Jepara
- 13.00 After transit in Jepara, at least, we arrived in Karimunjawa Island. ‘WOW’ that was the first word that I said to describe this beautiful island. You can imagine, we can see the bottom of the sea even if in the harbour (usually the sea surround the harbour is very turbid) .
- In Karimunjawa, we stay at Karimunjawa Inn — (0297) 312253 with Mr. Abdul. He’s the person that preparing our need while in Karimunjawa. You can ask anything about Karimunjawa with him. Karimunjawa Inn is a great pleace, very quite and cozy, great place to relax. We took suite room, the bathroom is very awesome, big and has garden inside it, cool indeed!!
