Among the rows of islands in the Thousand Islands, Bidadari Island [Angle Island] is one of the few private islands. It is managed by a private company. The accommodation on this island is known as Bidadari Eco Resort. From its name, you can imagine the concept it carries, which is a natural and environmentally friendly resort.
That is not a problem. Bidadari Island is an ideal destination because of its close proximity to the capital city of Jakarta. This eco-tourism themed resort can be reached in just a 20-minute boat ride from the Marina Ancol pier. It is certainly not too tiring, isn't it?
In fact, because of its proximity to the capital city, many tourists intentionally take the Bidadari Island One-Day Tour package, which is a tour package without overnight stay. You and your group can depart in the morning and return in the afternoon. Yes... vacationing to destinations like this does not require special planning or a special budget...
The island management also provides a number of facilities for the comfort of tourists, such as:
- A restaurant called Gambir Restaurant. You can enjoy seafood dishes made from quality ingredients while enjoying the stunning views during the day or in the afternoon.
- Bathrooms or MCK (Mandi Cuci Kakus)
- Resort with a choice of floating cottages or land cottages
- Boat rental facilities
- Watersports facilities
- Play area
- Bicycle rental
- Gazebo on the beach, and many more.
Staying overnight at Pulau Bidadari offers several advantages that you can enjoy. Firstly, the holiday atmosphere is more relaxed, as you are not rushed for time. Make sure your tour agenda includes enjoying the sunset and then hunting for the sunrise the next morning.
Secondly, you can experience the sensation of staying in a floating cottage. The ambiance is like being in a fishing village. The difference is that the facilities you enjoy are already hotel standard. In fact, the island management also provides cottage facilities on land consisting of two models, namely raised cottages and non-raised cottages. Of course, it would be a shame if you couldn't experience this floating cottage.
Visit Martello Fort
Bidadari Island has its own historical value. This island was used during the Dutch colonial era. So, historical remains are clearly visible if you visit Fort Martello. So, if you have a holiday agenda with your students or children who are still at school, try visiting this fort. Apart from having fun, your little ones will gain new knowledge about the history of this nation.
This fort building is just rubble that is no longer intact. Understandably, this fort was built around the 19th century. While on the island, you will definitely be curious if you haven't set foot around Fort Martello. So, instead of being curious, wouldn't it be better to see it up close?
Photography
Those of you who love photography and selfies will find many beautiful spots to immortalize. Taking photos with the fort in the background? Why not. In fact, it is not uncommon for couples to take pre-wedding tour packages on Bidadari Island. Morning, afternoon or evening, there is always an exotic place to be the backdrop for beautiful photos.
Rather than a photo with a backdrop of skyscrapers in the capital, isn't a green and beautiful natural view more comfortable and calming?
Watersports
The waters around Bidadari Island are not safe for diving or snorkeling activities. However, of course there are many activities that are no less exciting for you to try. These include canoeing, jet skiing, banana boating or sofa boating. Watersports activities are most fun when done in groups.
You and your group can foster togetherness and cohesiveness when doing this adrenaline-challenging activity. Don't forget to immortalize every moment of your togetherness through beautiful photos or videos.
Swimming With Dolphins
Another unique thing about Bidadari Island is the existence of dolphin breeding facilities. You can see how dolphins live up close and how their breeding process goes. Of course, dolphins are not easy to find in other waters. Here, you can see and even swim with these aquatic mammals.
In fact, the management of this breeding facility provides a special facility for therapy for autism sufferers using dolphins as a medium. Basically, dolphins are very friendly towards humans. However, make sure you follow all instructions and recommendations from the breeding guards to ensure your safety and security.
Even though they are tame, dolphins are still animals that can sometimes become wild, especially when they smell the fishy scent of blood. Usually, officers will ensure that there are no open wounds on your body before you are allowed to approach the dolphins.
Relax on the Beach
This seems like a normal activity that you can do on any beach, right? In fact, there are unique things about the beaches around the island. On Bidadari Island, visitors can relax under shady trees or in the gazebo provided by the island manager.
Did you know that there are many rare trees thousands of years old on Bidadari Island? In fact, there are unique names attached to it, such as the peace tree (Baringtonia exelsa), black wood tree (Diospyros maritama), sentigi tree, kepuh tree, and several well-maintained fruit plants.
Island Hopping
You can rent a boat to explore the 3 nearby islands at a fairly affordable price. Island hopping offers a different tourist experience. Each island certainly has its own charm.
So, the more islands you explore, the more interesting experiences you will get. Try to arrange your tour agenda so that the island hopping activity ends with enjoying the sunset view from the middle of the sea. This must be a very exciting experience, right?
