Hunting Island in Sebesi

If you compare with the Krakatau Islands, the name Sebesi is less popular. Understandably, this presence Sebesi less promoted. If I ever mention, the island is populated only as a transit place for tourists to go before the Mount Krakatau.

Island Administration, 1,600 hectares of this is the nearest island with the most exotic mountain in the world. The distance between Mount Krakatau Sebesi with only around eight sea miles, which if adopted by the fishermen of motor boat takes about one hour. The uniqueness of the other, on this island you need not making themselves in terms of accommodation. There is lodging with three rooms, built Promotion Agency, Investment, Culture, Tourism and Lampung in 1992, generating electricity and diesel power.

I wonder, before Krakatau erupts on 27 August 1883, the mountain crater in the fact that this island is not inhabited so active. Even when it is the inhabited island of Krakatau. Of the residents come from Banten residents who do not want to be a worker order to build a road from Anyer to Murree by the Netherlands. As a result, the dominant population from Serang, Banten, so that the language of the population is also day-to-day language Sudanese Serang.

Pigs Forest
To re-stimulate tourism and Sebesi Krakatau, there are currently regular boats that sailed from the pier with Canti time around 1.5 hours, Kalianda Sebesi toward each morning with a tariff of Rp. 11000, - per person with a long two-hour cruise. From Sebesi, visitors can rent a fishing boat to Krakatau with the tariff of Rp. 300.000, - to 30-40 people.

Besides as a place of transit for you to Krakatau Island, Sebesi potential to be developed into tourist hunting location. On the island, which still form the majority of this forest there are many wild pigs. To hunt here, hunters do not need to go looking for pigs. Sportsman enough to make rookery in the tree and be a pig with coconut. No long Pig crowds will come and living will. (sinarharapan.co.id / rmb)
