As an active volcano, Mount Anak Krakatau has a charm that attracts tourists. The beautiful mountain scenery with red and golden-yellow clouds of lava that bursting from the crater, the amazing underwater view for diving into it, the beauty of a tropical island with trees and birds chirping, the beauty of jet black sandy beaches and the awesome view from the top of Anak Krakatau has strong appeal that invite people to visit this mountain.

Some nearby islands can also be visited just to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of these islands. There is Sebuku Kecil Island, a very beautiful small island, its white sandy beaches with the surrounding expanse of blue sea. The island is uninhabited. The whole island is still natural forest, and is really beautiful.

There is Sebesi, a closest inhabited island to Mount Anak Krakatau, and has a natural beauty under the sea.

Not far from Sebesi, there is island of Umang-Umang that measures just 50 × 50 square meters, but has a cluster of beautiful coral and white sand beaches that are unspoiled. You can enjoy snorkeling here and enjoy lunch while enjoying the scenery of Sebesi Island and the island of Mount Anak Krakatau which is already in sight.

There is also the island of Rakata that already so close to Mount Anak Krakatau. Here you can also do snorkeling in the Lagoon Chili, where the unspoiled coral reefs and colorful fish looks so beautiful when viewed directly in their habitat. And if you're lucky, you'll be able to see the habitat Dolphine, Green Turtle, Blue Merlin (a rare fish in the world), and other rare fishes such as sea horses, Napoleon fish and Hawksbill.

Enjoying the Krakatoa while active is very beautiful at night, far more beautiful than during the day. You can enjoy dinner while looking at the red and golden yellow lava burst from the crater. There's more value offered here, since the Krakatoa does not offer only to dive into the beauty of marine parks, but more than that, the Krakatoa _in particular_ explores the historical value of the evolutionary process of the underwater volcano.

Of course there are certain times you need to consider if you want to visit Mount Anak Krakatau by using fishing vessels. When the west wind came about November to January, fishermen did not dare to bring tourists.
