Jepara, Bali on Jawa 

About

The park is located 90 miles northeast of Jepara in Central Java. Only seven of the islands are inhabited and the park is named after the largest island of Karimun Java. You can find all sorts of diverse reefs in certain places where depths of 15 to 20 metres are achieved.

In the reefs are 35 different types of hard coral to be found, sponges, soft corals and red and over 240 different types of fish. On the reefs are twelve spectacular dive sites where you can discover not only the diverse marine life in all its facets, but also a number ship wrecks. These wrecks can be found on the islands Batu Kunci, Karang Kapal, Karang Boiler and Batulawang.

If you are looking for peace and tranquillity, these islands provide the perfect opportunity because they hardly have been developed for tourism. Apart from diving, swimming and snorkeling in the area you can also hiking, camping and climb the mountains. With a ferry you can travel from Jepara to Karimunjawa or Cossa.
