Sunda Kelapa



The old port area of Sunda Kelapa remains today a busting hub for those involved in the vibrant inter-island trade, along with being a center of activity for fresh fish auctioneers. Graceful Bugis phinisi schooners, the world’s last wind-powered sailing fleet used for trade, still berth at the quay as they have for centuries, receiving and shipping out a wide range of the island bounty. Best visited the early morning.
