Contoh Recount Text (tentang Perjalanan Wisata)

My First Trip to Pari Island

Last September, I went to Pari Island for a holiday. I went there with Sarah, Andi, Eveline, and
Yoko. That was my first time to travel there.

Our boat departed from Muara Angke port to the island at 8.00 AM. We arrived at Pari Island
around 10.00 Am. After that, we went to our guest house that we had booked before.
Fortunately, our guest house was located near to the port, so we did not have to walk so far. The
first thing that we did after that was rent bicycle. It only cost IDR 20.000 per day. Then we did
cycling for a while and had lunch before we decided to do snorkeling.

When we went snorkeling, the fisherman who became our guide brought us to the beach far
enough from our guest house. We did snorkeling there. The water was very clear. We could see
groups of tiny fishes and beautiful coral under the sea. After we did snorkeling for approximately
three hours, we returned to our guest house. We ended up the first day by getting dinner and took
some walks around.

On the second day, we woke up so early to watch sunrise. We did not need to go far to watch the
sunrise because our guest house was so near to the beach and we could watch the sunrise there.
Sunrise on the beach, what a beautiful view!

After we spent long enough time to watch the sunrise, we decided to get breakfast. There was a
festival at that time. We went to the festival and had breakfast there. We ate some delicious sea
foods. We felt time went so fast that day. We needed to return to our guest house because our
boat that would bring us home would depart at 10.00 AM.

In summary, my first trip to Pari Island was so enjoyable. I would like to visit this place again
together with my family in another chance.

Perjalanan Pertama Saya ke Pulau Pari

September lalu, aku pergi ke Pulau Pari untuk liburan. aku pergi bersama Sarah, Andi, Eveline,
dan Yoko. Itu adalah pertama kalinya aku bepergian ke sana.

Perahu kami berangkat dari pelabuhan Muara Angke ke pulau pada pukul 8.00 pagi. Kami tiba di
Pulau Pari sekitar jam 10.00 pagi. Setelah itu, kami pergi ke penginapan yang telah kami pesan
sebelumnya. Untungnya, penginapan kami terletak di dekat pelabuhan, jadi kami tidak perlu
berjalan sejauh ini. Hal pertama yang kami lakukan setelah itu adalah menyewa sepeda.
Harganya hanya Rp20.000 per hari. Kemudian kami bersepeda sebentar dan makan siang
sebelum kami snorkeling.

Ketika kami snorkeling, nelayan yang menjadi pemandu kami membawa kami ke pantai yang
cukup jauh dari penginapan kami. Kami melakukan snorkeling di sana. Airnya sangat jernih.
Kami bisa melihat ikan-ikan kecil dan karang yang indah di bawah laut. Setelah kami snorkeling
selama kurang lebih tiga jam, kami kembali ke rumah penginapan. Kami mengakhiri hari
pertama dengan makan malam dan berjalan-jalan.

Pada hari kedua, kami bangun pagi-pagi untuk menyaksikan matahari terbit. Kami tidak perlu
pergi jauh untuk menyaksikannya karena penginapan kami sangat dekat dengan pantai dan kami
bisa menyaksikan matahari terbit di sana. Matahari terbit di pantai, pemandangan yang indah!

Setelah menghabiskan waktu cukup lama untuk menyaksikan matahari terbit, kami memutuskan
untuk sarapan. Ada sebuah festival pada waktu itu. Kami pergi ke festival dan sarapan di sana.
Kami makan beberapa makanan laut yang lezat. Kami merasa waktu berjalan sangat cepat hari
itu. Kami harus kembali ke rumah penginapan karena kapal kami yang akan membawa kami
pulang akan berangkat pukul 10.00.
Singkatnya, perjalanan pertamaku ke Pulau Pari begitu menyenangkan. Aku ingin mengunjungi
tempat ini lagi bersama keluargaku di kesempatan lain.
