Ride a traditional boat through the canals
of the old Sunda Kelapa harbor

The tour begins at Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta's historic harbor. Spend about 40 minutes on a locally owned traditional boat exploring the canals and viewing the wooden ships known as phinisi, and you may also stop at a fishing port to see fishermen at work.

In Jakarta's Chinatown, visit Dharma Bhakti Temple (Petak Sembilan), the oldest Chinese temple, built in 1650, then walk through the local market to take photos and taste local food.

Next, head to the old town of Batavia (Kota Tua), where the Dutch colonial past is still visible. Stroll around Fatahillah Square and see the historic buildings that have been turned into museums. If you are interested in art, you can visit a traditional puppet workshop and hear how the puppets are made.

Visit downtown sights
including Istiqlal Mosque and Monas

Downtown, explore Istiqlal Mosque, known as the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, with a local guide and learn about Islam in Indonesia. Visit Jakarta Cathedral across the street, then take photos at the National Monument (Monas) and Merdeka Square and see the Presidential Palace and government buildings.
