A spellbinding collective of over a hundred islands, the Thousand Islands is a tourist's wonderland and a nature lover's dream. These tropical islands are strewn across Jakarta Bay, and, rather misleadingly, are called the Thousand Islands. With a human population only running in thousands, the bay contains a sprinkling of delightful atolls and islands, out of which most are uninhabited and some, privately owned. Shrouded in layers of long-standing history comprising defenses and Dutch colonists, the Thousand Islands now sit sheathed in increasingly-dramatic landscapes which roll into one another. Boasting a spectacular coral reef system, the archipelago is a rich repository of enchanting marine life, including clams, varicolored sea worms, green sea turtles and hawksbill sea turtles, among many others. Bathed in a nonpareil tropical aura and home to the Thousand Islands Marine National Park, this spellbinding archipelago is where nature unveils its most magnificent layers, one island at a time.
