Indonesia is an archipelago of islands and less than 50 km away from Jakarta, the Thousand Islands Regency, a chain of islands to the north of the city’s coast can be reached for a day trip. With 36 of the islands out of more than 100 open to visitors there are beautiful beaches and mangroves to explore, with coral reefs and stunning scenery. Angel island, with its glorious white sands, is a popular getaway from the city, and the easiest to reach too being just a 30-minute speedboat ride away; a must for any visitor to Jakarta.
