Discover Your Escape: Explore Tidung Island 2D1N via Marina Ancol
Tired of the endless work routine? A short trip to Tidung Island is the perfect way to recharge. This stunning destination, part of the Thousand Islands archipelago, is a twin-island paradise that offers a unique blend of relaxation, adventure, and eco-friendly activities. With its friendly locals, breathtaking scenery, and rich marine life, a getaway to Tidung Island promises to leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
A Twin Island Paradise
Tidung Island is made up of two distinct parts: Small Tidung Island and Big Tidung Island. The smaller island is a conservation area with a lush mangrove forest and plantations managed by the government to preserve its natural beauty. It’s a serene, uninhabited space perfect for nature walks and photo ops.
In contrast, Big Tidung Island is a bustling, inhabited community of over 6,000 people. Most of the residents’ livelihoods are tied to tourism, which is why they are so welcoming and friendly. They open their homes as homestays and provide everything a visitor could need, from snorkeling and diving gear to bicycles and local guides. This community-based tourism model offers a warm, personal experience that you won’t find at a traditional resort.
Unforgettable Activities on Tidung Island
Tidung Island is famous for its well-preserved environment and a wide range of activities for every type of traveler.
- Snorkeling and Diving: The island’s clear waters and protected marine life make it an ideal spot for underwater exploration. You can snorkel and dive around the marine conservation areas, witnessing vibrant coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. Our tour includes a boat trip to popular snorkeling spots like Penyu Island and Air Island.
- Cycling: One of the most popular ways to explore Tidung is by bicycle. The island is relatively flat and has well-maintained paths, making it a perfect place to cycle around at your own pace. You can ride to scenic spots, local eateries, or to the island’s most famous landmark, the Bridge of Love.
- Relaxation and Views: On the west side of the island, you’ll find tranquil “saungs” (small huts) along the beach, perfect for unwinding. You can relax here with a refreshing young coconut and local snacks while enjoying the serene atmosphere and beautiful ocean backdrop.
- Eco-Friendly Fun: For an eco-conscious activity, you can participate in a mangrove tree-planting session. It’s a fun and meaningful way to contribute to the island’s conservation efforts.
- BBQ and Sunsets: As the sun sets, the island transforms. The evening is perfect for a delicious beachside barbecue, enjoying fresh seafood and the company of friends while watching the sky turn brilliant colors.
- The Bridge of Love (Jembatan Cinta): An iconic symbol of Tidung Island, this bridge connects Big Tidung and Small Tidung islands. It’s a favorite spot for photos and offers a fantastic view, especially during sunrise.
