Great Excursion to Breathtaking Active Volcano
May 2019 • Friends
We found Mr. Apud’s contact information on Trip Advisor and contacted him via What’s App. He was extremely responsive and gave us a run down on the options available. We chose to do the day trip with 4 people at 1.2 million Rp. per person. We chose to stay at a hotel further away (Aston Anyer Beach Hotel) because we didn’t like the options close to Carita Beach. Keep in mind that this was the area hardest hit by the tsunami of December 2018. The package included the boat, guide, entrance fees, water, lunch and snorkeling. The boat was the perfect size for four people along with the guide and crew. It took about 1:15 to get to Krakatau – weather was clear and perfect. Our guide Mr. Jasmine was kind and friendly, providing enough information to make it worthwhile. But the main reasons to have a guide here are – traversing Anak Krakatau would be treacherous without someone who knew the route AND he could take pics of us!!! But back to the main event – Anak Krakatau – it’s simply breathtaking and amazing. We were able to go ashore and climb up the crater rim. The walk up is quite strenuous and requires extreme caution because the ground is hot and soft with lots of ravines and deep crevices. Once at the top, the view is absolutely spectacular. We stood at the crater rim marveling at Mother Nature and her wrath and abilities. Snorkeling afterwards was decent. The water is super clear with great visibility and there are abundant fish but the coral is mostly dead. As a diver, this was disappointing but it wasn’t the tour company’s fault. We did see lots of anemone and Nemo fish, plus a meter long moray eel. Lunch on the beach was peaceful, under a tree, on a mat, and the food was delicious. Mr. Apud and Mr. Jasmine, plus crew took great care of us.

Apud helped organize a great tour of Krakatoa including car from Jakarta airport and boat to the volcanic island.
We did the trip over the weekend landing on Friday evening and catching a plane back on Sunday night and I’d say this is the bare minimum, would definitely be better with three days. The child of Krakatoa and it’s crater is definitely the highlight of the trip. For the rest, snorkeling and beaches/camp site are quite mediocre also due to the recent eruption and tsunami which heavily affected the area. Be ready to discuss the initial offers if you want to pay a fair price for the tour ;).
Note that we brought our own camping gear and food so can’t comment on what would have been provided as part of the tour. Ateng, our guide on the boat, spoke good English and was friendly and pleasant company for the trip.p;

Must visit Volcano if you are planing a trip to Jakarta
Apr 2019 • Solo
If you think there’s nothing much to watch in Jakarta, why don’t you plan visit to Anak Krakatau. A volcano in Java that is 3 hrs away from Jakarta. It was last erupted in December 2018 killing hundreds of people from the tsunami it generated.
I was a solo traveller travelling to Jakarta for a holiday. When I was searching for places of interest I saw that there are tour to Krakatau from TripAdvisor. Visiting a volcano is one my life goals hence I contacted Apud for the tour.
I finally managed to arrange a one day tour from Jakarta to the volcano.
For one person it may be but costly but if u can find 2-6 persons the price could be cheap. Luckily Apud (the tour organiser) managed to find another person to share the tour with me.
I was picked up at 5:00am by the driver from my hotel in Jakarta and drove 3 hours to the boat terminal where I were served with a nice breakfast.
From there we took another 1.5hr speed boat ride to the Anak Krakatau. The island was a wasteland after the eruption in Dec 2018. You could not see any trees or anything on the island. I was great seeing the beast who created the tsunami that took about 400 lives.
We also did the snorkelling near the volcano before we went to the Mother Krakatau island for lunch. FYI Anak Krakatau (child) is the active volcano, not the Mother.
After volcano visit, we came back from the island around 2pm and reached Jakarta around 7pm.
Tour includes,
1. Transport from Jakarta and return
2. Breakfast
3. Speedboat
4. Soft drinks/ water
5. Snorkelling and Snorkelling gear
6. Lunch
Basically you don’t have to pay any additional money at all.
It was a nice experience for me and a well organised tour by Apud and the team.
Thank you Apud and team for great hospitality I certainly can recommend them.
If you need more info you can WhatsApp Apud Saepudin via +62 877-1634-1780.
Payment will be done in Cash upon arrival to the boat terminal.
