Taking a Luxury Speedboat from Pulau Seribu

May 27, 2012

Me standing outside Marina Ancol in Jakarta.

Sometimes it’s a roll of the dice on what boat you get to Pulau Seribu. You can get an air conditioned boat with leather seats, or you get what I call a refugee boat. No chairs, no air conditioning, only room for sitting is on the floor on top of life vests and prayer blue tarp. No bueno! 

Normally getting to Pulau Seribu takes anywhere from two to three hours depending on the island that you’re visiting. For 200,000 Rpi (US $20.00) each way taking a speedboat is now my only option. I’m done with sweating in refugee boats. Done with people stepping over me. Done with people smoking in a boat with only two windows.

Bonus: The speedboat takes 45 glorious minutes.
