Pramuka Island Island

Address: Pramuka Island, Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Islands), Jakarta, Indonesia

Pramuka Island is an inhabited island in the Thousand Islands (Kepulauan Seribu) north of Jakarta, Indonesia, within the Jakarta Special Capital Region. It is one of the inhabited islands in the archipelago and hosts local residences and visitor facilities.

The island contains a village with guesthouses and basic tourist amenities, a pier for passing ferries and small boats, and nearby coral reefs used for snorkeling and diving. Visitors commonly use the island as a base for short reef excursions and to experience island village life.

Pramuka functions as part of the administrative structure for the Thousand Islands and provides services to residents and visiting tourists rather than large-scale resort infrastructure.

Geographically it lies in the Java Sea to the north of Jakarta and is reached by scheduled boats and chartered speedboats from Jakarta’s northern ports.

• Status: Serves as one of the inhabited islands of the Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Islands) chain and functions as a local administrative and residential centre within the Jakarta Special Capital Region.
• Access: Regular boat services operate from Jakarta’s mainland departure points such as Muara Angke and Marina Ancol, making the island reachable by day trips and short stays.

Pramuka Island is reached by public ferries and speedboat services from Marina Ancol and Muara Angke in Jakarta. The ferry ride takes around 2-3 hours depending on vessel; speedboats are faster but more expensive.

• Public boat services can be limited; check schedules and secure return passage in advance.
• Respect local marine regulations; the Thousand Islands chain includes protected mangrove and turtle nesting areas.
• Night markets and seafood restaurants on the inhabited islands make good evening options after a day trip.
