Island of Sempu is a little island with no inhabitants, located at the southern section of Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Not several people know about this island, considering that it is difficult to reach. I went there about six months ago with my buddy. It took about five hrs to get there from Malang, and we came there without having ample information and facts, nor preparing. The only point we realized was just the beach front, and the rest was adventure.
After a 50 percent-working day journey with community transportation, we arrived there at Sendangbiru seashore, the only way to go to Sempu, at about 11 am. We could see the island from this seaside. But the island is really a conservation spot, that created us a small bit perplexed with the bureaucracy. After a hard negotiation with the guard, we could lease a boat, collectively with two other men and women that turned our close friends then. It took 15 minutes to get to the island, and the boat costed Rp100,000 for roundtrip.
The island was so moist given that it rained tough times in advance of. The mud was so thick and really hard. We slipped about and over all over again. There was no path because it is conservation region, so along the way was just forest, to get to the beach front called Segara Anakan.The attraction of the beach is not just the white sand, but also the perforated cliff that confine the seaside with the Indian Ocean.
Using risk to arrive back again late, we went in advance to achieve the beach, and after we walked about three several hours, there we have been. Certainly, is was stunning! People today say, it is like Phi Phi Island in Thailand. However, we just relished it for 20 minutes, usually we could not go again property, simply because the very last minibus from the Sendangbiru was at 4 pm. We arrived at 3 pm. Soon after taking some images, our new friends remaining there, and we two went back to Sendangbiru.
On the way back again, we satisfied a group of 5 with whom then we went jointly. Sad to say, just one of us, bought her leg hurt. Working day became darker, and we could not go more quickly. It was sunset already, and numerous other persons arrived with us as the previous group to occur back again. There was no torch, no electrical power in the center of the forest. There was only panic in silence but we went forward. We normally experienced to crawl for the slippery and barbed soil. We kept heading even though calling for assist to some buddies and boatmen. And right after 5 hrs, we felt revived, we observed the way out with the boatmen waiting at the very same spot where we arrived. We all were exceptionally muddy all above our system.
Luckily, some of our pals experienced car, so I and my good friend could go back again dwelling immediately after getting shower at Sendangbiru to get rid of all the mud from our body. I arrived at house at 1 am, with my mother and father ended up waiting around in panic.
Following all, I would recommend my pals to arrive with preparing when coming to Sempu Island, this sort of as good sneakers or boots. And because it is a forest, it is greater to hold out till the soil dried, so that we can get to the Segara Anakan Beach front considerably faster and safer. Some people that rest on the seashore at night should really provide his/her personal food stuff and consume beside the camping utility as tent and torch, mainly because no road seller we can come across there. Previous, we should really preserve in mind about the most recent hour for public transportation.
