This is a heaven for back-packer, it is a smaller island compare to Tidung and Pramuka with different attraction.....TIdung has more variety of coral reef, Pramuka is a turtle site, but Pari is a place for beach paradise, some even compare it with Gili Islands at Lombok. Clear white sandy beach....amazing... But do not look for a pampering resort or... More

Beach is dirty, insects in room, no hot water, no fishing, food is lousy, island is half deserted, facilities are bad, room service is not answering phonecalls, too expensive, not coming back for sure,

I went here twice already. Sepa island's beach is the best in the thousand island area. It is pristine, the sand's very soft, not much coral on the beach, clear blue water. There are thousand of beautiful fish swimming near the beach and the pier. I can actually took my 2 years old to hand-fed the fishes in the water... More

I did my open water scuba diving test in this area....no trash....but lots of dead coral and not that many fish.... Choose island wisely and it... More

We have a one day trip to Pari island, as one of the closest island from jakarta after Ayer island. Everything will be good if someone taking care of the waste management. Almost every corner of the beach have waste over exposure. And it seems that no one care and still enjoy that kind of condition. What do you expect... More

Once your boat gets past the rubbish floating around the sea like unwanted eyes, truly paradise and great value for money. watch the tour guides, reps though, they will stalk whoever they thinks paying the bill [well some of them, creeps] overall, you have to visit, pure ambience.

Thousand Islands are pretty different from any other islands that I've visited in Indonesia. The surroundings are still calm and quite clean (compared to other local beaches here!). To put it simply, it is a good getaway from the bustling Jakarta. Try to visit Pulau Macan if you're going here.
