Bidadari Island is in Thousand Islands, only 20 minutes by medium speedboat from Jakarta. An island with resort and other facilities like cottage, cloating cottage, swimming pool, banana boat, bycicle, live music during dinner, etc. This is perfect place to take 1 or 2 days of vacation, to run away from Busy Days of Jakarta. Perfect place to take a pre-wedding photography, and also quite good place for others photography. I was lucky enough to spend my first day on this island with interesting clouds all around the island.

Spots for Photography :
- Sunrise and Sunset (if you're lucky enough)
- Beach
- Speedboat and Boat Pier
- Martello Fort
- Islands around such as Kelor Island, Onrust Island, CIpir Kayangan Island, etc
- just be creative ;)

How do i get here?
Take a speedoat from Marina Port, Ancol, Jakarta. See the link below. Or you can go by local boat from Muara Kamal and Muara Angke. (i prefer to go from Marina , though)

Place to stay?
A lot of Cottage here! It's better for you to do some reservation first, just go to the website i link below.

Place to eat?
don't worry!

Transportation in Bidadari Island?
You can do it by foot! it's a small island afterall. And you can rent a boat to go to near islands.

How do i get back to Jakarta?
By speedboat.

Hello Ali,

Very nice colors. Perhaps I would have preferred it with more luminosity on the right. Moreover, it's a photo very attractive. A very nice sunset.
Thanks for sharing it.

Hi Ali,
I think this picture deserves more points. It is well-crafted and the mood is great. Perhaps I would have added some luminosity to the whole and got rid of that distracting green bit in the bottom right-hand corner.

Best,

Philippe

Hi Ali,
Very romantic scene. Presence of persons
makes it even more lively. The colours kind
of competes with each other. Perfect.
Regards.
