Kepulauan Seribu or the Thousand Islands is a group of small islands scattered in the Bay of Jakarta. Actually a total of about 110 islands, they are within easy reach from Jakarta by boat or chartered aircraft. Several islands have been developed as tourist resorts or for recreational purposes, where there are bird and marine sanctuaries.
The northern part of these islands have been zoned as a national marine park to preserve its underwater resources and beauty.

Google Earth doesn't have good images of most of these islands, but some are available here:

About 90 km from Jakarta are Pulau Putri, Pulau Pelangi, Pulau Melintang, and Petondan islands, which have upmarket accommodation, restaurants, a dive shop and boats for hire. Nearby, the islands of Melinjo, Papa Theo and Sepa have been developed for divers and budget tourists.

Transport is available by private speedboats, inter - island ferries or charter flights which land on a grassy strip on Pulau Panjang. The scenery among so many green islands as well as the coral is beautiful. There are also other agencies which offer sailing and diving tours.
