Last September, I went to Pari Island for a holiday. I went there with Sarah, Andi,
Eveline, and Yoko. That was my first time to travel there.
Our boat departed from Muara Angke port to the island at 8.00 AM. We arrived at Pari
Island around 10.00 Am. After that, we went to our guest house that we had booked before.
Fortunately, our guest house was located near to the port, so we did not have to walk so far. The
first thing that we did after that was rent bicycle. It only cost IDR 20.000 per day. Then we did
cycling for a while and had lunch before we decided to do snorkeling.
When we went snorkeling, the fisherman who became our guide brought us to the beach
far enough from our guest house. We did snorkeling there. The water was very clear. We could
see groups of tiny fishes and beautiful coral under the sea. After we did snorkeling for
approximately three hours, we returned to our guest house. We ended up the first day by getting
dinner and took some walks around.
On the second day, we woke up so early to watch sunrise. We did not need to go far to
watch the sunrise because our guest house was so near to the beach and we could watch the
sunrise there. Sunrise on the beach, what a beautiful view!
After we spent long enough time to watch the sunrise, we decided to get breakfast.
There was a festival at that time. We went to the festival and had breakfast there. We ate some
delicious sea foods. We felt time went so fast that day. We needed to return to our guest house
because our boat that would bring us home would depart at 10.00 AM.
In summary, my first trip to Pari Island was so enjoyable. I would like to visit this place
again together with my family in another chance.
