Krakatoa is a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait, Indonesia, famous for its catastrophic eruption in 1883. Today, it is a fascinating destination for those interested in geology and adventure. Visitors can hike up Anak Krakatoa, the 'Child of Krakatoa,' which emerged in 1927 and continues to be active. The island offers dramatic landscapes, including sulphur-covered craters and volcanic ash fields. Boat tours provide a unique perspective of the island chain, with opportunities to explore the remnants of the original Krakatoa and the lush vegetation of Rakata Island.
