we went there with Bus from Kampung rambutan bus station to Merak Port for 3 or 4 hours wich actually it should be 2 hours, but the traffic are worst and the bus cost something below  IDR 50.000/ person. i really not suggesting you guys to take bus..you have to be aware and not to fall asleep at bus and try to keep your personal belonging close to you
there will be a lot of people coming and go out from the bus...there will be a lot of theft.

I went there with my sister and my friend also with 3 big guys from the travel agent and got to Merak port at 12:00am and we were waiting for others to come for a couple of hours  and we got to the big ship..tips for you guys (you really should get some sleep, i rent a pillow and a blanket and also drink medicine  antimo a half..and most important you can pay 10.000 for charging your phone and camera at the bar) we arrive at Bakauheni port at Lampung at 5:00am











the cars is waiting for all of us and it took us for 3 hours to the place..somekind of border to go to pahawang island.we leave the car at the border and We went to the local people house ..felt really relieve to unpack our stuff

but...i think Pahawang island should have more attention from the governor or someone like businessman..because a lot of  tourist both international and local come to that place
but nothing..nothing...no services,no hotel,no gazebo for you to seat and relaxed

they should make it...it's really a beautiful scenery for us to see it
the big hills and mountains around the island..soo.sooo beautiful
but for snorkeling.. i guess the sea is not really friendly, it's just too deep and wild for us to snorkeling around, you can't see a lot of fish unless you bring some bread to feed the little fish in there



there are some small island in there;  pahawang besar, pahawang kecil, and other and one island that have a white sand and mangrove and apparently the icon bridge or condo that your seing at the internet is located on the private island and we just had a chance to take picture from far far away

i love the scenery..the big big very big mountain and hills in there made me thing that my problem is not that big...there are a lot of things tahat much bigger than my problem...so i shouldn't feel bad about my situation
travel indeed heals you.

1. From mall plaza semanggi -Merak Port by Elf Car-IDR 680.000
2. From kampung rambutan-Merak Port by Bus - IDR 450.000
