About this site
Pulau Matahari sits off the coast of Banten province, on Indonesia's Java Island, in the waters near the Sunda Strait. The area lies within a region shaped by volcanic activity, including the nearby Krakatoa complex, and its small islands are typically reached by boat from coastal towns along Banten's shoreline. The reef here tops out at around 13 metres and is rated a beginner dive, making it an accessible option for those wanting an easy site in this part of the strait.
