Panaitan Island

Not many people know about Panaitan in West Java in the Ujung Kulon National Park. It’s not easy to get there…from Soekarno Hatta airport in Jakarta takes around 3.5 hours to get to Charita. From Charita to Panaitan there is the choice of slow or fast boats. The fast boat takes about 2.5 hours and the slow boat takes about 5 hours if the weather is good.

This island, often called Empty Island, has many natural wonders. There are rare species of flora and fauna as well as many points with waves that can be compared with back door Hawaii such as One Palm, Napalm, Pussy Cat, Illusions, Indicator,
Croc n’ Rolls, Angel, Bombies and Apocalypse. The most well known points are One Palm, Napalm and Apocalypse. In 1994 this place was the location for the surfing movie Second Thought. This movie not only showcased surfers and waves but also the struggle of the whole film crew to survive there for 5 weeks when their food ran out and they had to live on rain water and the fish they caught. No wonder this film won awards!

Now surfers who would like to try the points at Panaitan don’t need to worry because Java Ecorino Tours can handle all travel arrangements including transport, food and accommodation. If you would like an adventure there are many challenging hiking tracks. Java Ecorino Tours offers two packages, 5-7 days or 10 days 9 nights with the second package including a tour around West Java.
