Private house reef resort in the Thousand Islands.
Best for easy snorkeling and beginner scuba, with private-island access, a shallow house reef, and a calm resort pace.
About Pulau Macan
Pulau Macan is a private eco-resort reef in the Thousand Islands north of Jakarta, centered on a shallow house reef and a relaxed island pace. The reef is the main draw: clear water, colorful coral, and easy snorkeling or beginner scuba right off the jetty. Guests reach the island by speedboat, then spend the day on reef time, paddling, and low-key resort activities. It suits travelers who want a simple tropical reef break rather than a big destination dive run.
