Jakarta Travel Guide

 24 Reviews  Lots of things go on down at Ancol. We used to come here to check out the art and craft souvenir shops and to find something to eat. It was a pretty long bus trip when we could not con someone into driving us down. A few time we caught sight of a traditional Kuda Lumping troupe. This is a Javanese... 

 10 Reviews  Pulau Macan in the Thousand Island chain is a gem. The scene is totally mellow geared towards conscious fun. Snorkeling trips on living reefs, paddle out to their deserted island, get a traditional javanese massage, chill on the sundeck, or dive off the dock. There is plenty to do in this fabulous...

 8 Reviews  Another fine restaurant in a Five Star Hotel. I ate here several times and though I was told that it was, "Five Star" I didn't really know what that actually meant.
