wow, this sounds so amazing. When I first visited Indonesia two years ago with my wife we absolutely fell in love with the place. We went to Bali first for our vacation and we stayed in this villa [link redacted] and we had an amazing time especialy learning the indonesian tradition and the history. The next place for visit is Sumatra in April :) Can't wait for it. Thanks for this amazing article, I will be sharing it to my facebook.

Hello what a beautifull island, with what agency did you book?

Hi Angela, it is definitely worth a visit. You should be able to find any travel agency in Yogyakarta that can organize the trip for you. You will find it quite hard to search for travel agencies online as the island isn't as well trodden, so it's best you go to Yogyakarta and organize from there.

I am.currently sweltering on a bus to jepara and my hotel for the night there is 5 miles out of the center. You mentioned using an agent for the boat and they arrange transfers etc... what agent can I use? I can't find anything online... Will I be able to find something in jepara? (I don't fancy trying to find one whilst lugging my massive luggage around) plus I can't ride a scooter... what transport is available to get about on the island... do you think I will need a pool to keep cool if no aircon... didnt want to spend that much but equally am not great with heat. Thank you

Hi Lisa,
If you are already in Jepara, you might not need a travel agency to organize the trip. You can just take the ferry and get to the island by yourself. I was traveling from Yogyakarta, which is quite far, so letting the agency organize the logistics helped.
For your case, I think it's best you talk to your accommodation and see how they can help you get to the ferry port and maybe book some accommodation on the island, or you can find accommodation online and organize hotel pick-up from the pier and just take a taxi (your accommodation in Jepara can arrange this for you) to the ferry port and off you go.
