Tour to Krakatau from Jakarta

Has anyone done the tour where they pick you up in Jakarta, take you to Carita for the Krakatau boat tour, then take you back to Jakarta? If so, how was it? Which tour companies are reputable for this? What is a fair price?

Alternatively, what would be the fastest and easiest way to do this by public transportation?

Thanks.

maybe you can contact 'Backpacker Indonesia' they usually have schedule to go to krakatau (share cost)..website is in Bahasa Indonesia, but I am sure some of them can speak english.

seems the latest info they will have trip to krakatau 31 August - 2 Sept and 14-16 Sept (cost about 50$ from jakarta transport & meals)

Hi Jules,

I've went with Oystein and he makes great trips. A bit costly compared to the other local tours but I really enjoyed myself. Here's our notes http://indohoy.com/?p=2555

To contact Oystein, you can head to his site: http://www.oysteinlundandersen.com/Tour_to_Anak_Krakatau_Volcano_Indonesia.html

It's very worth the trip.

plenty of options to visit anak krakatau,depending on your time frame and comfort level wanted>
if you want an easy pick up from jakarta airport and travel to carita beach,it becomes expensive,if you have plenty of time and patience you can catch public bus system .......also works out much cheaper if you do the tour with other travellers.....i camped on krakatau overnite with great food supplied.....most people do a single day trip....it really is up to an individuals requirement?if you e.mail roman he will structure the tour for you or a group.

Unfortunately, short on time. Would be quite happy to join a group though. Will look into some of the suggestions.

Thanks for everyone's advice.
