One of the must-visit tourist attractions in Situbondo, the scenery is really fresh to the eye, and at first glance it looks like Raja Ampat.

Those who are in the Situbondo area and its surroundings are obliged and recommended to come here. Very good experience. #hiddengems

It is located directly on the edge of the national road on the north coast of Situbondo. I don't think the ticket price is too expensive, which is 16 thousand / person plus 10 thousand for the car. The trip through the forest is also quite satisfying, the route is not too short, about 16 Km. The photo spots are many, and quite stunning. The route through the park ends at the beach with quite beautiful views. #hiddengems

An exotic tourist spot in Situbondo is Balanan Beach. Situbondo is a paradise for exotic beach tourism, in addition to the Situbondo White Sand Beach Marine Tourism and also the Mangrove Forest Tour in Blekok Situbondo Village. Situbondo still has marine tourism that is no less exotic, namely Balanan Beach. The clear sea water and the beauty of the mangrove forest tour, I think this Balanan Beach tour is worthy of being your family's holiday destination on the weekend. On Balanan Beach there is also a mini savanna location that is very exotic, such as in the NTT area. With the scorching sun that wants to feel like throwing the body into this bluish clean sea. Around this beach, there are also resorts that are no less interesting than other tourist attractions. The beautiful scenery of the natural area of ​​Wonorejo Village and the friendliness of the local population will add to the comfort of the visitors wanting to linger in this tourist spot. This beach tourism location is located in the Forest / Garden Area of ​​Wonorejo Village, Sumberwaru, Banyuputih, Situbondo Regency, East Java 68374. The facilities in the marine tourism of Balanan Beach, Situbondo, are relatively standard, because there are already four-wheeled and two-wheeled vehicle parking areas, prayer rooms, bathrooms, rinse rooms, toilets and a typical Situbondo culinary area. The marine tourism attraction of Balanan Situbondo beach is located in the beauty of a very exotic beach. With the color gradation of the coast from white to blue towards the beach, it makes you feel comfortable and at ease when traveling here. In addition to this, the photo spot of the view from above on the mini savanna of Balanan beach is also an instagramable area for you to capture, with the feel of the hot sun combined with the beauty of the savanna with a clean beach background which is also a beautiful moment for your visit here. #naturalwonders#beaches

The second day in Baluran National park we spent only on Bama beach. We got up before five o’clock in the morning . It was low tide and the water was deep into the sea. Sunrise on Bama beach was really beautiful, actually, one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. In Bama there is only one small warung which was opened only two hours a day. But friendly rangers will easily boil water for coffee, tea or pasta for you. The whole day we just relaxed on the beach and went to see mangrove forest from the path. If you decide to go into the mangroves I strongly suggest you to wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt and use a strong repellent. There is really a lot of aggressive mosquitoes. Just five minutes and you’ll be completely bitten. Baluran National Park is not a very popular tourist place. I always wanted to go this Baluran national park, because it has attracted me by its unconventional nature. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer

Baluran has been on my wish list for long time ago. I've been dreaming to witness wild animals live in their nature place. It’s located in Banyuwangi, East Java, and has been a famous place to visit in the past few years. A dense rain was stopped as I came in this area. Then I spotted pack of wild buffaloes and bulls at a distance, scattered all over the savanna. Unfortunately, my camera lens couldn't afford to capture this captivating moment. We found an unusual moment as we move to another spot, a peacock and flock of deer behind the green vast bushes. And it became something that is to good to be captured. It’s nice to come in dry season, as the savanna will look more brownish, but to be honest it’s beautiful all year round! ⛰🌤🌳🍃🌿 #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #mountainview

Bama beach is located in east area, in Baluran National Park area. Here, you can see the original and virgin beach with its amazing scenery. Beside that you also can see mangrove forest, Bama spring and Mantingan spring. One of special moment here is that you can see monkey with the long tail (Macaca fascicularis) that fishing crabs with their long tail. If you pleasure to walk, you can pass the truck and you can see the beautiful panorama of Bama Beach on the height. This beach also equipped with tourism facilities, such as hotels, restaurants, and some of food merchants. Just with 15,000 Rupiahs per person you can spend the night in Bama Beach to enjoy the beautiful panorama at night here. #beachvacation #urbanexplorer #scenicspotphotoguide

• Mount Ijen & the Blue Fire: Banyuwangi is home to Kawah Ijen, a striking volcanic crater famous for its electric-blue flames caused by burning sulfur—one of only a few places in the world where this phenomenon occurs. At sunrise, the view over the turquoise acidic crater lake is absolutely surreal. • Baluran National Park: Known as the “Little Africa of Java”, Baluran is a savanna-like expanse where you can spot wild deer, buffalo, monkeys, and exotic birds with a backdrop of dormant volcanoes. • Meru Betiri National Park: Remote and lush, this is where the endangered Javan tiger was last seen, and where sea turtles still come to lay their eggs on the black-sand Sukamade Beach.

Continuing from my previous post. Visually pleased by the view. We went there on a cloudy day, so the weather was really nice, not hot. There are also a lot of monkeys there, so be careful, look after your belongings, and remember, don't feed the monkeys! 🐒 #pantaibama #bamabeach #pantai

#nationalparks One of the favorite tourist attractions when visiting Banyuwangi. The location is quite far from the center of Banyuwangi, about 2 hours, but the road access is good. It is most recommended to come here in the afternoon, but you have to pay attention because the ticket counter closes at 4 pm, so it's better to be at the location around 3 pm. Inside there are various photo spots and spots to enjoy the scenery. You can go into the location using 2-wheeled vehicles, 4-wheeled vehicles or Hiace. But I don't recommend using a motorbike because the location is quite far and there is forest on the right and left. Before reaching the savanna, we will pass through the forest and can see monkeys roaming around. In the savanna we can see mountains and expanses of grassland. If it's the rainy season the grassland can be green, but if it's a long dry season, the grass dries up. But both are equally beautiful. At the end of the national park location there is also Bama Beach. Yes, it's quite okay if you want to relax and take pictures for a moment, because when I went there in the afternoon, the sea water had receded. Hopefully the cleanliness is always maintained

Would have totally missed out on this gem in East Java if not for the closure of Mount Ijen. It’s still a place often overlooked by tourists thus it’s not very crowded. So do check it out! Commonly referred to as “Little Africa” this place is true to its name! Here you can see animals in their most natural state, travelling in packs and living their life as if tourists does not exist. If you want to see animals up close, do come early as they tend to move into the shades further away from the main road as it gets hot. As you drive further down, there’s a beach with many monkey families living in the nearby trees. Most of them does not attack as long as you don’t have food or go near them. It’s perfectly safe to stand from a distance and take pictures! #naturalbeauty #indonesia #balurannationalpark #eastjava #100WaysOfTravel

In Baluran you will be never bored because the whole neighborhood is full of monkeys. But these monkeys are rude and aggressive. Monkey guarded our house and wanted food. When we didn’t give them a food they wanted to attack us. So each of us had stick for protection. Rangers taught us that when the monkeys are too aggressive we must lift the stick and monkeys will run away. It worked perfectly. Late afternoon we went for a walk to explore the area and observe animals in Bekol. On the way we saw many species of the trees in Baluran that you will not find anywhere else in Indonesia. In Bekol you can climb the tower from where you can watch the whole region. The animals weren’t visible at that time. The best time to observe them is during the rainy season when they drink water from the lakes that are mainly situated around Bekol. #nationalpark

Baluran is the only place in Indonesia which looks like an African savanna. Therefore it is called Africa in Indonesia. You can watch wildlife there and see deers, large Javanese water buffalo, small Java mice, peacocks, eagles and macaques and much more wild animals. Baluran National Park is named after an extinct volcano Baluran. Baluran has two main stations. Bekol is located in the middle of the national park where you can observe animals from the tower. Bama is a place on the beach where you will find simple accommodation. From Bama you can walk to Bekol and observe the animals there and then go back to Bama. We decided to stay the next two nights in Bama beach. #nationalpark#urbanexplorer
