    Jakarta - Carita Beach (Marina Lippo) - Krakatau
    We'll pick you up at Jakarta Airport or in Jakarta City. We'll meet you there with our representative and then for the three - hour drive to West Banten Coast (Carita Beach) or you can drive by your own car. After the three-hour drive you'll take a rest for a while. And we then get onboard ready to cruise (it takes about 1.5 hours) Sunda Strait to "one of the world's greatest and the most catastrophic eruptions on earth, the effects were recorded far beyond Sunda strait and it achieved instant and lasting infamy". On the way to Krakatoa we sometimes could see group of dolphins (if you're lucky). When we arrive there the boat will surround Anak Krakatoa where you'll see one of live volcano in the world, it grows up around 50 cm/year. Landing on the East side of Anak Krakatoa (Child of Krakatoa ), we then hike up to the first level of Anak Krakatoa's peak where we'll see molten of rocks which thrown from caldera. Afterwards, it is a short cruise to Legon Cabe beach at Rakata island (part of the origin volcano remains). It is time to explore underwater of Krakatoa to see variety of fishes and corals reef. We'll have lunch on the beach. Around the beach we'll search the monitor lizard which can be seen sometimes. Late afternoon back to Carita Beach. (L)
