Sempu Island

Located in : Malang City, East java

This island shows how life is, which means if you wanna have or get the beautiful life you need to make efforts and take pains.

It takes about 2 hrs to get to the beach named ‘Sendang biru’ from the center of Malang by motorcycle or car. After you arrive in this beach where the boat which able to take you to across the sea  about 10 mins  to this ‘Sempu Island’  you need to pay 100.000rupiahs(round trip) for the boat, it means more people less money to spend because you can split the boat charge. This boat is able to contain less than 13 persons, it means 100.000rupiahs divided by 13 equal less than a dollar, imagine how cheap it is.

You will definitely find no food court or any other shop who sells a food nor a water source in this sempu island, so before you start to go and cross the sea to get in this island you need to bring your own nachos, bacon sandwich or other foods that you like to eat and few bottles of water.

To make your night so much fun in this Island you can buy fish before you take the boat. There is a traditional market which provides and sells many kinds of sea fish nearby.

To get to the beach inside this sempu island you need to across the jungle about 2,5 hrs, depends on the mud condition.  So hard to across the jungle with a big backpack. But it doesn’t matter, you will see the paradise after :D

When rainy days come it's not possible for you to get to this beach inside sempu  less than 4 hours from the area where the boat drops you, because the mud in the jungle is usually about 30cm deep during that time.
you are not allow to start to cross the jungle at the night, so you need to be in 'sendang biru beach' in the morning and start your adventure in the jungle at 10am(best hour to start the trip)

there is a probability to see the monkeys, tiger, panther, snakes in the jungle since this island is a conservation area for plants and animals. But dont worry about this scary animal, because they are usually staying so far away from the main path to the beach inside sempu island (named 'segara anakan').

But you need to pay attention to your stuffs when you already arrive in segara anakan, monkeys so often come to stealth and take your stuffs or foods away when you are swimming and not paying attention.

such a proper adventure, isnt it? :D

this picture shows when we had just arrived in sempu island but the mud was really bad and i couldnt see which way to go at all, so we called the guide to show the way. at that time i didnt really know what to do because the girls who joined us look so desperate and scared to cross this jungle

indian ocean (need to climb the highest rock in this sempu island to get this view)

crossing the jungle

there is a big hole where the sea water from behind the cliff comes inside

it s a warning for you, DONT EVER STAND OR EVEN TRY TO SIT AT THAT HOLE !!
when i was standing at that hole there was big wave hit me and i got so many wounds, but i was so lucky person even i got a lot of wounds because there was a man died when he was standing there (the same with my case).

in the evening

sands, sea water, surrounds by the coral, and feel like private swimming pool ! :D
