Lampung Province with the capital Bandar Lampung, which is a combination of twin towns and Telukbetung Tanjungkarang have a relatively large area, and holds the potential of marine. Its main harbor called Port of Long and Port Bakauheni and fishing port.

Want to tour anything in Lampung? All there, tour the island? On the outskirts of the sea over there, call it "Island Sembesi" that was almost close to the island of Krakatoa (child) and "Rakata Island" (his father Krakatoa island) and there are other scattered islands.


Krakatoa and the surrounding mountain tourism
Krakatoa
There's a little story about the island of Krakatoa was, at that time I was a vocational school, the province when it is persistently showing / selling tourism "Island of Krakatoa" with the title "Festival Krakatoa" (which I follow is the Festival Krakatoa II), now the show begins with "napaktilas "which at the start of the Pendopo of South Lampung Regent Office,to Mount in Kalianda, past the resorts Way Sulfur (in the Lampung language" way "means water), continue down to the village terujung which will take across the entire participant group II to the island of Krakatoa Festival Sembesi - Island closest to the island of Krakatoa. After staying in the last village it, and once again spend the night on the island of our Sembesi entire entourage at Departure by ships owned by the Indonesian Navy to rely on it Krakatoa Island ("Island of Rakata" can not disandar, because the beach is very steep). Remember, too, before any activity Krakatoa Festival this, virtually no or not many people who come to visit the island of Krakatoa At the start by hiking the island of Krakatoa or Mount Krakatoa exactly who was active, then fell back to Ship "War" was to get back to the last village (For Krakatoa Festival I, do not wear a big ship, the participants only driven by motor boat - motor boat with the number of lots that each boat was only fit 15-person only, and then many a drunken sea, and therefore for the Festival Krakatoa II This uses the Great Ships - Ships of War, and as I recall, after the Festival Krakatoa II Ships no longer leans to the island of Krakatoa, just circling the island is by Ferry).


Krakatoa Island is the island-shaped mountain, so there is no a sloping beach, except that directly steep coast towards the deep sea. But what happened? After we all piled into the ship hull, which is just leaned Warship "little" only his nose at the beach in order to "shed" and "swallowed" back in it (the festival participants Krakatoa), but almost for 5 hours the ship could not "escape "from the" pinch " the island of Krakatoa in the nose of this Battleship. Strange... very strange, until the stern of the ship sway to the right, to left, so again and again with full force in accusing me of all the machines ship, but still, the island of Krakatoa was "unwilling" let us all in one ship war.

After more than 5 hours stumbling ship almost ran out of fuel trying to escape the "pinch" of this island, then came a motor boat from the island sembesi which was boarded by "Kuncen" / guardians of this island. Fiuuuuuhhhhhhh .... finally "Mother homeeee i am coming... " (too bad I did not have his photo-photo when I and friends following the Krakatoa Festival II, there may be, but at another store by the Group of Friends).

Do not Forget Report

A visit to Mount Krakatoa must be accompanied by permission from the Conservation and Natural Resources (KSDA), Lampung. The condition of the mountains that are often unstable to make tours around Krakatoa can not be done without supervision authorities. KSDA officers will issue a permit if a report from the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG), allowing visitors to come there. Dodo, who often stayed at Krakatoa for research purposes, adding, after the exit permit and an officer assigned to accompany BKSDA permit applicant. This is necessary for the safety of tourists on the mountain was still active.

Arriving at Krakatoa, there are still some rules to be followed. One of them is imperative to bring back garbage carried. At the entrance of the island is available in the bin, but do not expect any trash officer who will transport their garbage. So, break select your luggage prior to visit Krakatoa. Do not let the keepsake left behind is a pile of garbage that makes a famous wildlife sanctuary in the world this would look bad.
