Quick answer:
Karimunjawa Skydive and Hotel Package: Where to Stay and How to Plan the Trip
The tandem jump launches from Dewadaru Airport (KWB) on Pulau Kemujan, but almost every guesthouse and resort sits across the channel on Karimunjawa’s main island — so a workable skydive-and-hotel plan books a night before jump day plus one weather buffer night, with the Juara Holding Group desk arranging stays through licensed local partners at no quoted rate.
Why Doesn’t the Airfield Sit Next to the Hotels?
Karimunjawa is a small archipelago in the Java Sea, about 80 km north of Jepara on the Central Java coast. The only working airstrip, Dewadaru Airport (KWB), sits on Pulau Kemujan — a separate island from Karimunjawa’s main island, where almost every guesthouse and resort is built. Most surrounding waters and islands sit inside Karimunjawa National Park, upgraded from a 1988 conservation area to full national park status on 22 February 1999 under Decree No. 78/Kpts-II/1999, covering 110,117 hectares as an IUCN Category II reserve, with 22 islands added as a marine reserve in 2001. That split — jump site on one island, beds on another — is why a skydive trip here runs on a stay plan, not a single plane ticket.
Where Should You Stay: Kemujan or Karimunjawa Town?
Most travelers base themselves in Karimunjawa town, where the guesthouse scene is concentrated, then take a short local transfer to Kemujan on jump-day morning. A smaller number of stays sit closer to Kemujan itself, cutting the same-day commute to a minimum.
| Base | Island | Jump-Day Transfer | Typical Fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Karimunjawa town | Karimunjawa main island | Local transfer to Kemujan, arranged by the desk | Most guesthouses, dive shops, restaurants |
| Kemujan-side stays | Pulau Kemujan | Minimal — same island as Dewadaru Airport | Guests wanting the shortest jump-day commute |
The desk does not publish nightly rates for either option. Accommodation is arranged case by case through licensed local partners once a reservation is confirmed.
What Does a 3-Night Skydive-and-Hotel Skeleton Look Like?
Because the jump depends on sea and wind conditions, a workable skeleton builds in one buffer night before the jump window and one after it, rather than flying in and out the same day.
| Day | Night | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Night 1 | Arrive via Susi Air (Semarang–Dewadaru, about 40 minutes; example schedule SRG 07:30 → KWB 08:10, per a Traveloka listing, September 2026) or Express Bahari fast ferry from Jepara (about 2–2.25 hours, per Travelfish, November 2025, and Direct Ferries, January 2026); transfer to Karimunjawa town |
| Day 2 | Night 2 | Buffer day; desk confirms the jump-day weather window with the local organiser |
| Day 3 | Night 3 | Jump day; early transfer to Dewadaru airfield on Kemujan for check-in, briefing and the tandem jump; return to town in the evening |
| Day 4 | — | Depart via return flight (example KWB 11:10 → SRG 11:50) or ferry back to Jepara |
The dry season, roughly April through October, is generally treated as the more reliable window for sea conditions and ferry schedules — a climate pattern, not an official park declaration. May 2025, when the only Karimunjawa skydiving edition to date took place, fell inside that window.
How Much Does the Jump Cost, and What Does a Stay Add?
Karimunjawa has hosted one public skydiving edition so far: the KISA Boogie Woogie Jump, run 7–11 May 2025 at Dewadaru Airport, reported by ANTARA on 10 May 2025 and by Central Java’s provincial information office (Humas Jateng). ANTARA counted around 50 skydivers from Indonesia and abroad. A 2025 price sheet for that edition, in USD, is the only published pricing on record — there is no confirmed 2026 or 2027 date or updated list yet, so treat every figure below as last published in 2025 and subject to change.
| Ticket Type | Early Bird (10–18 Apr 2025) | On-the-Spot (7–10 May 2025) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tandem jump, single ticket | USD 525 | USD 575 | Includes cameraman |
| Tandem jump, bundled (min. 5 tickets) | USD 510 | USD 555 | Per person, includes cameraman |
| Licensed jumper, single | Confirmed by the desk at launch | Confirmed by the desk at launch | Per jump |
| Licensed jumper, bundled (min. 10 tickets) | Confirmed by the desk at launch | Confirmed by the desk at launch | Per jump |
| Stay + transfer add-on | Rate on request | Rate on request | Arranged via licensed local partners |
No official IDR conversion was published for the 2025 sheet, so any rupiah figure circulating elsewhere is an estimate, not an operator quote. Eligibility — age, health and the final weight limit — is set by the event organiser and confirmed at launch; the published guest weight range is 45–95 kg, adults only, with final rules issued by the organiser for the next edition.
How Does Booking a Karimunjawa Skydive and Hotel Package Work?
- Submit the reservation form at /reserve/ or the homepage booking block with your full name, email address and WhatsApp number — kept for internal reference only; the desk replies by email, not by WhatsApp message.
- The desk logs your interest against the next KISA Boogie Woogie edition, which does not yet have a confirmed 2026 or 2027 date.
- Once a date is confirmed, bd@juaraholding.com emails jump ticket options, current pricing and accommodation choices for Karimunjawa town or Kemujan.
- You confirm your ticket tier, number of nights and any Semarang or Jepara transfer; the desk arranges the stay and transfer through licensed local partners.
- A written confirmation follows by email before any payment is requested.
The same desk also coordinates Semarang and Jepara transfers and, for a wider Indonesia itinerary, onward stays and a Bali tandem skydive through sister brand Sky Dive Bali — none carry a published rate here.
Reserve Your Spot
There is no confirmed date for the next Karimunjawa skydiving edition, so this page is a waiting-list entry point, not a live checkout. Submitting the form adds your name, email and WhatsApp number to the Juara Holding Group desk’s list for the next confirmed jump window. The desk contacts you by email from bd@juaraholding.com only — no phone or WhatsApp line is attached to this desk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I stay the night before a Karimunjawa skydive jump?
Most guests stay in Karimunjawa town the night before jump day, since that’s where the guesthouse and restaurant scene is concentrated; a short local transfer takes you to Dewadaru Airport on Kemujan on the morning of the jump. A smaller number of Kemujan-side stays exist for travelers who want the shortest possible jump-day commute. The desk arranges either option through licensed local partners once a reservation is confirmed.
How many nights should I book for a Karimunjawa skydive and hotel package?
Plan on at least three nights: one to arrive and settle before the jump window opens, one as a weather buffer in case sea or wind conditions push the jump back a day, and a departure night if your outbound flight or ferry doesn’t align with jump-day timing. Karimunjawa’s jump schedule depends on conditions, so building in slack matters more than trimming the trip short.
Can I fly from Semarang to Karimunjawa and jump the same day?
It’s not advisable. Susi Air’s Semarang–Dewadaru route runs about 40 minutes (an example schedule shows SRG 07:30 to KWB 08:10, per a Traveloka listing from September 2026), which is tight against jump-day check-in and briefing, and leaves no room for a weather delay. Booking a night on Karimunjawa or Kemujan before jump day, and treating the flight day as arrival only, is the safer plan.
Does the hotel package include the skydive ticket price?
No. The 2025 price sheet covers jump tickets only — tandem tickets from USD 525 to USD 575 per person, with licensed-jumper pricing confirmed by the desk at launch — and accommodation is quoted separately once a reservation is confirmed, since the desk arranges stays through licensed local partners rather than publishing a fixed room rate. Both are requested through the same reservation form.
What happens if bad weather delays the jump during my stay?
Weather calls sit with the licensed local organiser, not with the desk — tandem and licensed jumps both depend on sea and wind conditions at Dewadaru airfield. That’s the reason the 3-night skeleton on this page builds in a buffer night rather than a same-day in-and-out. If a delay pushes past your booked stay, the desk works with your accommodation and transfer partners on the next available window.
