The rugged wilderness of Banyuwangi, East Java, offers two standout national park experiences. The comprehensive 12-hour adventure combines Tabuhan Island’s crystal-clear snorkeling spots with Baluran National Park’s remarkable wildlife watching – think Javan deer grazing openly and peacocks strutting through savanna landscapes. For those short on time, the 7-hour sunset tour delivers pure magic, positioning you perfectly to watch the sky’s changing colors reflect off the park’s tranquil lake waters.
We love these tours for their no-nonsense approach: expert local guides who know their stuff, well-planned itineraries, and an authentic look at Indonesia’s natural treasures. The timing works well too – you’ll hit the right spots at the right moments for optimal wildlife viewing and those postcard-perfect photos.
