Actually the Krakatoa / Krakatau belongs to Bandar Lampung, a province of Sumatra.

But the
Krakatoa is most easy to reach from Java and is part of Ujung Kulon national park in the south
west of Java so Krakatoa is implemented in Java section. Krakatoa is one of Indonesia's most
active volcanoes that located in the strait between Sumatra and Java. With devastating effects
this volcano erupted just over a century ago in 1883, bringing its fine ashes with the wind streams
as far away as over New York City, whereas the eruption's tidal waves reached the American
West Coast. At that very instant, Krakatoa vanished as if devoured by the sea, causing
formidable tidal waves which in turn swept off just about everything alive from the surrounding
coastal areas. However, the disappearance of the gigantic Krakatoa also meant the birth of small
islands in its place, one of which is called "Anak Krakatau" or Krakatoa's Child, which is at
present an extremely active young volcano. From both West Java's, West Coast, and from
Sumatra's Lampung Province, this young and very active volcano is clearly visible. A boat trip to
this place may be worth making. info@krakatoatour. www.krakatoatour.com
