13 000 ISLANDS

Indonesia, over 13 000 islands and at least 6 000 inhabited, is a maritime nation. Most of the nation is based on the island of Jawa and around the capital Jakarta. Some islands have only small villages where fishing is the main occupation. There are also houses on stilts with fishing nets in the middle of a bay. If the multitude of those was added to the total of inhabited islands the numbers would go drastically up.

There is also one more inhabited island, Pulau Ranoh, next to Abang island which 8 years ago was uninhabited. A resort build on that island opened in November 2017 and now Pulau Ranoh is quite seriously populated for a small island. It is full of resort guest and stuff and also noisy with water sports, jet skies, banana boats and alike.

Indonesia is a cruising Paradise. 

It is joy to see islands lined with coconut palms rather than palm oil industry monotonous landscape so typical of other Asian countries.

Some of the best coral reefs are found here. And there are many, some hazard to cruising yachts, not very well charted but absolute pleasure to snorkel on.

Indonesia and its islands is amazingly scenic and pleasure to visit.
