   This Thousand Islands or locally named Kepulauan Seribu have nothing to do with the ones with similar name situated in northern New York and southeast Ontario. Thousand Islands/Kepulauan Seribu is a group of islands under the administration of Jakarta Indonesia local government. Some of those islands have been developed and provide resorts for tourism accommodation although some are still uninhabited. Kepulauan Seribu are generally divided into two groups :
   
   Paradiso Islands (or Onrust Archeology Park)
   
   Other Islands.
   
   Paradiso Islands :
   
   This group consists of four mains islands (pulau) : Pulau Onrust (unrest) ,Pulau Kayangan (Heaven), Pulau Bidadari (Angels'), and Pulau Kelor .
   
   Pulau Onrust is also known as Pulau Kapal (Ship) or Pulau Damar Besar . To protect historical artifacts and ruins which date back to the Dutch East Indie Company, In 2002 the Administration of Jakarta declared Pulau Onrust and its three neighboring islands kayangan, Kelor and Bidadari became an Archeology Park.
   
   The other islands include Pulau Anyer, Pulau Laki and Pulau Putri.
   
   Those islands offer heavenly soothing beaches with serenity that are able to captivate visitors forgetting the hustle and bustle of crowded, harsh life.
   
   People who want to visit those islands can depart from Ancol Marina (at Ancol area) where further information about accommodation and transportation schedules can be got. It takes around 20 minutes to reach Pulau Bidadari and Pulau Ayer (they are the closest to Ancol Marina pier), but for farther islands like Pulau Pantara, Pulau Putri, and Pulau Sepa may take up to 2 hours.
