If you want escape Canggu to see beautiful beach, this one is 10/10. It’s not very suitable for swimming - it’s more for surfers, but it was amazing. Definitely worth travel for it.

Great waves for surfing & very peaceful. Yet the rubbish let it down, so surfing here was less desirable out amongst the rubbish. Had to wear shoes on the beach due to amount of rubbish. Lots of dogs, but they kept to themselves.

Nice relaxed place.Good surf.From the road coming in to Balian you can go left to the Pitaya Hotel and many smalls warungs. If you take le right turn you go down to Gajah Mina Resort and Secret bay Restaurant.Good sea food. reasonnable priced. A beautiful nature walk on top of the cliff. For nature lovers..

The black sand feels nice on your feet. If you don’t surf, there is nothing for you to do here, the sea water is grey and very rough. Not very good spot for swimming. But the black sandy beach looks truly amazing and it feels so soft. As on every beach on bali, plastic beaches are a hype, unfortunately this one as well.

Beautiful and calm place. We took surf lesson & that was amazing! Enjoyed our honeymoon's first days here and would highly recommend to stay at! Waves are too high for swimming but good for surfing & you can also enjoy the beautiful and very calm beaches by walking

This beach was quiet with small crowds. The water was clear and great for walking. Some parts have soft charcoal colored/black sand, while other parts have rocks. Collected a lot of small seashells. Every morning, surfers were out surfing. A few stray dogs waiting for anyone to feed them. Some trash but not as bad as other beaches in Bali. Enjoyed this beach more than the populated beaches in Bali too.

Amazing surfing beach. I drove my scooter from Canggu to Balian and it was amazing once I got closer to the beach. But it was super sketchy and overall do not recommend driving a scooter on the main roads that far. I got to these rice terraces very close to the beach which was a beautiful surprise. Once I got to the beach you can have some coffee and watch the surf. After my surf there’s a great pool you can chill at for the day, just pay I think 100k. Highly recommend this spot if you wanna surf and chill

This location is an absolute gem tucked into the hills of Bali. The grounds are stunning, meticulously kept, and radiate a sense of serenity that hits you the moment you arrive. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the calm, inviting atmosphere. What stood out most was how peaceful it felt. There were very few tourists, and those who were there moved quietly and respectfully, making the experience feel authentic rather than crowded. The temple provided not only incredible photo opportunities but also the rare chance to slow down and truly absorb the local culture. A must-visit for anyone seeking beauty, stillness, and a genuine cultural connection.

Great place to visit. Little gem in the hills. A great place to visit — a little gem tucked away in the hills. The temple and surrounding grounds are beautiful and well worth the trip. Entry was 35k per person, which felt fair for the experience. If you're feeling adventurous and confident on a motorbike or scooter, consider taking the countryside road from here to the Twin Lakes. Just be cautious: the road is quite narrow, and at one point the asphalt gives way to concrete tracks designed for single wheels. It’s manageable, but definitely not for beginners.

Visiting this magical Buddhist monastery again 5 years after doing a 7 day silent retreat here! The setting and views are simply spectacular. This is a very special and spiritual place, not commercial at all and they have kept the entrance very reasonable at 35k including a sarong they lend you. You can meditate in the quiet and cool dharma halls or stroll the grounds and admire the beauty of the place. Highly recommend a visit and its a short 20 minute ride from Lovina. Enjoy and may you be happy 😊

Wonderful beautiful place. Very peaceful and large territory. Later some turist group came, so we had to wait in some places to take pictures. Everything is so clean, safe and sound. Very magnetic place, great energy.

Came here around 17:00 on a week day and we were the only 2 guests alongside with another couple. The temple is large — expect at least 1 hour to explore it all in tranquillity. The gardens are kept beautifully. The place is quiet and invites visitors to really enjoy the tranquillity. Inspiring how the architecture combines Balinese and Buddhist style, reflecting local culture and traditional Buddhist symbols. Entrance is 35k for international visitors.

Brahmavihara is a gem & wonderfull place, very well maintained, serene, and peaceful. It's not too crowded, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Definitely worth a visit!

Must visit when in North of Bali. Beautifull and large site. Very peacefull and not so crowded. You can spend about 1 hour over here. Good to know: you can take a grab to the site, but if you want to return...grab isnt available at that adres. Best to make an appointment with your driver for an pickup time....otherwise you have to walk quite a long time.

So peaceful! Tho it actually smells like Sulphur Sulphur but it is worth it. It has crowd though, but one thing I did not like though we had to purchase tickets for like 45000/p there was another parking fees which was supposed to be a donation! The man who was incharge asked us for 5000 and when we said no it’s based on donations you! He started saying! “Yeah yeah go away don’t pay anything” as if I have made a blunder by not paying him money! Tho i had given him a 1000 rupiah

The hot springs were nice, but the water wasn’t really hot. You have to pay extra fees for the spa or jacuzzi, and even for lockers (10,000 IDR). Still, the place had changing rooms and showers, we enjoyed it overall, and next time we’ll just bring shampoo!

Three pools with mineral infused water. One is the hottest and most crowded, the biggest one not too hot. Medium to medium high sulphur. More of a warm spring than a hot spring. Changing room was dirty and smelling bad. We decided to go back and change in the car and — I think it was the right call. Crowded with lots of tourist but no one disrespectful or anything on our visit. Some good bargains on knick knacks from the vendors as you walk up. My wife enjoys bargaining as it’s part of her culture and she got stuff for cheaper than back home. Small fee to park and use locker. They should close once a week for a deep cleaning, even half a day, would make it a five star experience

Nice water, it smells somewhat like swimming in an egg salad but you quickly get used to it. Three pools, I couldn't tell the difference between them in temperature, but one of them has water spouts which can do you a satisfactory massage if you get the angles right as they fall from a large height. I didn't use the restaurant or massage services so can't comment. Lockers cost 10k and toilets 3k, cash only. Cheap entrance ticket (45k for bule) so worth it on that basis. I spent about two hours there. Watch out for the entrance - there are about 20 gifts shops so it you want to shop go for it, but otherwise expect to be hassled. You might be able to get a grab moped but I couldn't get a grab car from this location, so book a driver in advance unless you want to be ripped off by the taxis outside.

A paradise on earth. This hot spring in the middle of the jungle is a paradise on earth. We had a great rest and my children loved it.

After paying for entry I was told to ride up to motorcycle parking, where I was told I needed to make a donation for parking (that’s fine and expected in Bali) I didn’t like the harassment from the market holders to purchase things before entry to tie hot springs, I don’t mind if walking around Bali, but after paying to enter an attraction it was very unwelcoming. (They have everything you need for sale in the pools btw, I got stung 50,000 for a towel because i read they weren’t supplied) The hot springs themselves were a mixture of warmish/hot water in the top pool and lukewarm water in the larger pool. The pool itself felt quite dirty and underwhelming, I didn’t spend long here as I was turned off by how slimy the pool was. I went early and avoided the crowds, but after an hour it was quite busy so I had a drink and left.

Relaxing and nice hot spring, you can smell the sulphur on the water. There are changing rooms at the facility. I will advice you to bring your own towels if your don’t want to buy one at the way in. There are 3 pools to enjoy and if you go early in the day you can avoid big crowds. Overall is worth visiting. Enjoy !!

I have done the walk with Putu many times now as have many happy guests of @villatunjung in Rangdu. It is not just a walk through the sawa's and some rainforest or fruit plantation. It's an experience as Putu seems to know everything about flora and fauna and the role of nature in every day's life of local people and religion. By great storytelling also! Not only is the walk with Putu an absolute joy, don't skip the superb lunch cooked by Ria! Best lunch in North Bali! You'll get 2 great experiences in one day for the price of one! Easy 5 stars and I won't hesitate to recommend this experience. Book and Go!

The cultural walk with Putu was a very unique and informative experience. He explained a lot about agriculture, plants and culture. The food cooked by Ria was delicious! Thank you very much, Ria and Putu! Warm regards Sophia and Johanna

Great experience with Putu Artana. You learn a lot about Bali. Do not forget to have lunch with Putu after the trekking.

It was an excellent experience with a very professional guide. After our walk through the sawa’s we had a perfect lunch thanks to Ria (wife of Putu and cook of our lunch). Great day! Thanks Frank

Simply the best experience you will ever have in Bali! Putu and Ria are exceptional hosts who offer you a unique experience. Putu's Tour is absolutely incredible! Not only is the scenery and landscape exceptionally beautiful but Putu also provides you with insight into Balinese culture. I learned more about Bali on this tour than anything else I have done in Bali. It is truly the most authentic experience you will have and you will come to truly appreciate how special Bali, its people and culture are! It gives you a true appreciation of the connection between nature and culture. Ria's cooking is amazing! To be able to spend time with this wonderful family is a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed! I highly recommend this experience to all. Don't leave Bali without experiencing all that Mayong Authentique Experience has to offer!

Putu is a very interesting guide. We had a wonderful time!

Great morning trek with Putu, lovely sights and great information from Putu. Lunch was delicious too 😋 would definitely recommend 👌

Surfing with Sup helped me get the most out of a brief trip to Medewi. Sup's advice on what time to surf based on the tides, where to paddle out, where to sit in the lineup, and where to take off on each wave helped me catch much better waves than I otherwise would have! We were also able to hire boards for surfing on our own afterwards. There was a decent selection of boards available to choose from, and you can get a great breakfast afterwards at the Holy Tree!

First surf lesson ever here with Bagus! What a nice moment, everything here is made to make you feel safe and confortable inside and outside the water. Don’t think twice and go for it ! Thank you again my friend !

I had some lessons with Sup, he is the best. Sup has a lot of knowledge, knows Medewi and we are always in the right spot with him. It was the first time I was able to enjoy surf and get some improvement. He also explains where to position for the wave and tells you how and why that I found really important. The best in town, I totally recommend it. Also offer driver service 5 stars. If I come back for sure I will go with Sup again.

Sup is a great surf guide in Medewi! I’ve had great surf sessions with him. I was very amazed by how many waves I surfed!! I’m an intermediate beginner and Sup made me feel very safe and was supportive. He is very kind and easy going. I wish I could do more sessions with him as I felt like I was improving my skills. I would definitely recommend surfing with him. Thanks Sup!!

I had a really great experience with Sup in Medewi. Easy going and reliable, Sup is a great teacher that helps you feel confident in the waves. He always ensures your safety and is respectful of how you feel and adapts to your level. I highly recommend him if you want to enjoy your time in Medewi and improve your technique. Thanks Sup and hope to see you soon in the waves 🌊

I had a great time surfing with Sup! He knows the surf spots really well! Great teacher and Coach, if you are in Medewi and are looking for surf lessons you found the right guy.

I booked surf lessons with Soep for three of us during our stay at West Bali. I told Soep we are completely new to surfing; also, my husband and I are in our fifties and were not sure if we could do the sport. Soep gave me a lot of assurance, he even looped in his friend Ricky to coach with him together. We had a good time and were very happy to have started a new sport. Time seemed to have passed so fast! I can truely say Soep and Ricky were cool, professional, and were very attentive to newbies like us. For those who want to learn surfing in a tranquil atmosphere, go look for Soep and Ricky in West Bali !

I go every day when I'm in pemuteran. Fabulous place. Well done to the creators and management. It's a fun safe place for the snorkelling community and for scuba training. Many small fish species sometimes a turtle nearby and great coral growing. I feed the fish and they swarm to me. Great to swim with nature. I have many videos I can't post... German and Austrian ladies I said hi too diving from the house pontoon. I couldn't get photos or videos to them

Pretty good! I don't like messing about with the natural environment, but they've got fish and coral using the structures, and it provides an interesting place to view sea life. Very easy swim from shore. The platform had a broken ladder, making it inaccessible to all but the more agile and strong… there didn't seem to be any urgency to fix it, and more than one person was seen injuring themselves trying to get on.

Nice spot, small coral, some small fish, nice view of growing coral, easy access from the beach. a few people in the water, not too busy.

Always a pleasure to stay at this homestay. Large, clean rooms with a/c, spotless bathrooms, most with queen beds but some that can separate into 2 twins. Good breakfast variety included, and there's a small swimming pool. Very nice staff who're adept in English. And integrated with it is a dive shop... And you can snorkel or scuba out to see the coral plantings of the Biorock experiment.

This project is great for coral recreation and interesting for snorkeling. You can find the statue of Garuda 12 meters deep, to the right of the floating house

This organisation is doing brilliant work helping to rejuvenate the coral through clever design, we saw turtles, thousands of beautiful fish and bright healthy coral just a stones throw from the beach. It's really worth donating to help these guys continue the great work they've been doing.

Very nice for snorkeling and not far from the shore. Enter at the flag for a safe entry for you and the corals. (There is also a sign written) I'm not a diver but for me it was really nice and many different fish including a pufferfish one day.

Very beautiful place. For diving this is one of the places to be, the nature of Indonesia is perhaps the most beautiful in the world.

I've been here quite a few times, and always love to come back here.

(Translated by Google) From here we started a very good snorkeling tour to Menjangan Island. We had a good companion and were in the water with him for an hour twice. We saw wonderful corals and lots of colorful fish. The crossing to the island doesn't take long and the water is very clear. The food for a break was very good. Highly recommended. (Original) Von hier aus starteten wir eine sehr gute Schnorcheltour zur Menjanganinsel. Wir hatte einen guten Begleiter und waren mit diesem zwei mal eine Stunde im Wasser. Wir haben wundervolle Korallen und sehr viele bunte Fische gesehen. Die Überfahrt zur Insel dauert nicht lange und das Wasser ist sehr klar. Die Verpflegung für eine Pause war sehr gut. Sehr zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Excellent attention, very cordial (Original) Excelente atención muy coridiales

(Translated by Google) The best snorkeling spot I ever visited in 2011. The coral and fish are still healthy... (Original) Spot snorkeling terbaik yang pernah aku kunjungi tahun 2011. Karangnya dan ikannya masih sehat...

👍👍👍👍👍

Loving every corner of this Island! You could see the view of Mount Raung and Mount Ijen from here. There are also deers living in this Island as Menjangan means Deer. I think the fish here also friendly 😆 there is a group of small fish (10-12 fish) circling me around like more than 10 times when I was snorkeling. They literally followed me until I get back into my boat. The minus is around the Sri Ganesha Temple there are a few of trash. Please do take an action.

One of best dive side I ever been. There was not or small currents and the visibility was super clear. lees of divers here.

Part of West Bali National Park. On the land, you can find many Menjangans (kind of deers), that is endemic animal of Menjangan Island & West Bali area. We are phohibited to touch and feed them since they are still wild animals and those actions can change their habit and behaviours. Under the water, we can explore beautiful yet healthy corals & see many of sea creatures from sea fans, eels, and macro creatures like nudibranchs, etc.

Paradise found! 🌴🐠 Menjangan Island, a hidden gem in Bali, offers crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and unforgettable snorkeling, diving or freediving experiences 🌟

Such an amazing place in North Bali. It is hot but worth the effort. Takes 15 minutes boat ride from the harbor to this island.

Amazing place by land or water activities The island is like a park or mini zoo, The snorkeling and diving are fantastic You can see turtles, etc As beautiful as it gets

This island is stunning, heavenly vibes! 💙🩵⛅🌅🐟

It looked like an abandoned place.

(Translated by Google) Super hot 🔥 (Original) Super panas 🔥

The highlight of the park is the wide Bekol Savannah, where visitors can spot deer, peacocks, water buffaloes, and if lucky, even the endangered Javan leopard or banteng (wild cattle). The scenery, especially during sunrise and sunset, feels almost like being on a safari in Africa. Another must-visit spot is Bama Beach, a quiet coastal area inside the park with clear waters and mangrove forests. It’s perfect for relaxing after exploring the savannah, and snorkeling here reveals vibrant coral reefs and marine life.

My wish list has been fulfilled. Finally, I can visit Baluran National Park. A National Park like in Africa. To enter the national park, you have to report and pay for a ticket. Payment is cashless, so prepare your gadgets. There are several tourist stopping spots for taking pictures. 1. At the acacia tree, 2. in the NP animal skull area, 3. Bekol Savanna with Mount Baluran in the background, 4. Bama Beach. It is best to come to Baluran National Park in the morning or afternoon. The animals usually come out to look for food. In the afternoon, you can also see the sunset. If you visit the NP, please always comply with the applicable rules. Prepare sunscreen and personal protective equipment from the heat of the sun. It was a pleasure to come here. Hopefully, I can come here again

One of hidden gem in Java. Located at the Situbondo - Banyuwangi border (but the entire are in Situbondo). This place is also known as "Africa van Java". You could found some wild animal like bulls and monkeys (be careful with your belonging because sometimes the monkeys could steal it). It's better to come here in the summer or dry season (in the rainy season the savanna would be greener, but still looks good😁). I came here with a motorbike so we could see the very beautiful view😍

Great place to healing. Get lost for a while ( karena vibes ga kyk di indonesia , pun ga ada signal provider apapun once nyampe di savana ) Coming here on monday at 10.00 AM , not too crowded but it’s surprisingly hot 🥵 Great experience!

Second time visiting this national park. It wasnt so busy on my first visit in 2018, but now, there are a lot of jeep tours, also due to many rain this year, the savanna is not used to be, it’s greeny and a bit wet now. But when sun is setting down, we saw groups of deer gathering in the middle of savanna, also monkeys and even Javanese Bull! It was truly an Indonesian safari experience! We stopped by on the beach side and had a local food; soto rujak, it was delicious! So if you want to visit, i recommend to visit just before the sunset to see all animals moving around the park.

Baluran is a great park for wildlife watching or birding with many beautiful landscapes. I do a lot of wildlife watching and photography around the world, and I thought overall this park is top notch, it might just require a little more effort and careful timing if wildlife is your goal. I visited for 4 days in early Oct 2025. I stayed near the park and drove a rented scooter in every day. Here are some things the park is great for, and some drawbacks: Landscapes: There is a good diversity of landscapes within the park, on the drive in, you see a lot of tropical dry forest with some wetter/greener forests deeper within the park. There is also the very dry and open savannah region and a lot of mangroves and forest near the beach. There is really just one road through the park to the beach, and not much opportunity for hiking, so if your primary focus is seeing the landscape, you could see everything in one day. Wildlife: You can see lots of green peacocks, wild buffalo, deer, langur monkeys, wild pigs and hornbills (near Bama beach), but timing matters a lot. If you are interested in seeing wildlife, you should either go by yourself, like I did, or do a tour that visits the park in the evening. I spent all day in the park, and I can tell you that if you are on a tour that goes through the park any time from 9AM-3PM, you aren't going to see much in terms of wildlife because it's too hot, and the animals are in the forests where it's cooler. As soon as it starts to cool down, you will see loads of deer, peacocks and other animals emerge onto the savannah and start crossing the roads in other areas. My biggest complaint about this park is that it opens too late in the morning. Unfortunately the park doesn't open until 7:30AM, which means by the time you get your entry ticket and drive into the park, it's already getting hot, and you've really missed the best wildlife watching period of the day. You will still be able to catch the tail end of the morning period, and you can see a lot in the evening, but for a wildlife-focused park, it's frustrating that they don't let people into the park earlier. Most of the wildlife-focused parks I've visited in North America or Africa open much earlier, because they understand that this is prime-time for wildlife. Again, you can see a lot of great wildlife in the park, but if you want to see wildlife, and you are taking a tour from Banyuwangi, make sure the tour doesn't leave the park too early in the day, otherwise you will likely be disappointed. I expected to see a lot of Banteng in the park based on the photos and reviews I saw online but I did not see any despite being in the park all day for 4 days. This may be a seasonal thing, but just be aware they aren't easy to see, unlike the wild buffalo which always seem to be around. I never really expect to see big cats like leopards in any park, but I talked to some of the workers in the park and they said they do see them quite frequently. Unfortunately they only see them at night crossing the road, and as a tourist you can't be in the park at night. Nice to know the leopards are there though even if your chances of actually seeing them is very small. I also feel the park could use some investment. The mangrove trail is closed, the observation tower at the savannah is closed, and overall, there aren't a lot of hiking opportunities. There used to be lodging inside the park, but this is also closed. Bama beach is the center of activity. It's much cooler during the day, and very pretty. The facilities are also much better there, with some small restaurants and decent bathrooms. Overall, Baluran was one of my favorite spots in Indonesia. There is amazing wildlife if you visit at the right time, and the open savannah with Baluran mountain in the background is beautiful.

Baluran National Park is often praised as the "Africa of Java" for its unique savannah landscape and wildlife, but reviews are mixed regarding the experience and value, with some citing high fees for foreigners and limited activities beyond sightseeing. Visitors can see savanna, beaches (like Bama Beach), mangroves, and diverse wildlife like deer, buffalo, and peacocks, but sightings depend on timing and luck. Unique landscape: The park's "savannah of Java" offers a stark contrast to typical Indonesian scenery and is great for photography. Wildlife spotting: Visitors can see various animals, especially at dawn or dusk, including deer, buffalo, monkeys, and peacocks. Diverse ecosystems: Within the park, you can experience different environments, including savannas, forests, mangrove trails, and beaches like Bama Beach, which is good for snorkeling. Educational value: It's a great place for learning about nature and the environment. Sunrise and sunset: The park is known for beautiful sunrises and sunsets, particularly from Bama Beach.

Not easy to go here, wake up early at 2m to move to the base of the mountain, 3-4 hours trekking to the top of Ijen. As long as you don't give up, you can reach there. If you can't trek for longer, don't worry, they have special taxi service to carry you there 😆

Spectacular! We chose to start our walk to the top of Ijen at about 6am, this is due to the desire of avoiding the masses of people that try to get there for sunrise (which can be unpredictable), the lake itself becomes more colourful as the sun gets higher in the sky. We got to plod along at our pace, enjoyed panoramic views with very few clouds, practically no-one else around, it was a perfect experience.

What an amazing experience and such a beautiful place to visit. Overall we spent a total of 4hr 30mins to climb the mountain, visit the crater and then come back. The climb up the mountain is steep and is uphill the majority of the way. Then to go down to the crater, it’s mainly rocks and dirt and is quite slippy. It was very very busy when we went, we got held up for a long time trying to get down to the crater, so be prepared. The blue fire was amazing to see, but surrounded by tourists as you would expect. Also avoid the sulfur smoke because it causes your eyes to water and can make you cough, even through the mask. They also ask at the bottom if you want to hire a coat- do NOT do this if you have a jumper or jacket already. We hired a coat and we took it off within 5mins of walking, amongst everything else we were wearing. The walk gets so hot as it’s all uphill. People were shirtless and in shorts by the time we got to the top. Additionally, you will be surrounded by tourists which block out the cold. Overall, this was quite a difficult trek, but 100% worth it. Make sure you wear good shoes.

One of the most thrilling experiences while visiting Indonesia. We stayed at Gilimanuck. The hike starts around 2 AM. Gas masks, sweaters, hiking sticks, etc. are available for rent from the starting point. For those who are unable to trek the 4 km hike, trolleys are provided by the locals. The 1 km descent to the lake shore is only possible on foot. The stunning green acid lake and blue fire offer a magnificent view. The active volcano with erupting sulphur produces a strong odour. Artworks made of sulphur are available as souvenirs from the site. The sunrise from the rim of the crater is a great view.

My visit to Mount Ijen was an unforgettable experience. The trail was quite crowded, especially during the time I went — it was clearly a very touristy period, and honestly, there were a bit too many people. That took away from the peaceful vibe I was hoping for. Because of the crowd, I chose not to go down to see the famous blue flames. It felt unsafe — people were pushing to get down, and it didn’t seem worth the risk. Still, the view from the top was absolutely stunning. The bright blue crater lake was breathtaking, even from above. The sunrise was partially hidden by fog, but it actually gave the whole scene a mysterious, magical feel. We were lucky with the wind direction too — we barely needed our gas masks, as the sulfur fumes weren’t too strong that morning. If you’re planning to go, definitely bring a flashlight, sunglasses, and good hiking shoes. Despite the crowd, it’s one of those rare places that truly lives up to the hype — a must-see at least once in your life.

Beautiful and definitely worth doing — but you have to accept that you’ll be doing it alongside more than a thousand other tourists. Most people start the hike around 2 AM, so it gets crowded, and there’s often a traffic jam on the way down to the blue fire. Still, it’s quite an experience — a bit dangerous, but the sunrise and the mysterious blue flames make it all worthwhile.

Very beautiful blue mountain flames. Must prepare well with full coverage eye goggles and as well as the filter mask. It’s worth the trip and the climb. Must reach before 5am, the flame fades after that. Sulphur gas smells strong. The blue lake visible after 5am. The view when going down the mountain is fantastic too

Red Island Beach is a beautiful beach in Banyuwangi. the location is far from the city but it worth every second in here. the tickets is about 10K for motor and you can enjoy while eating your food with your family.

That’s an absolute paradise beach. 10 k entry is good price. Parking for free. Plenty of food and drinks available, umbrellas as well. Love it

Beautiful landscape, soft sand, and a peaceful atmosphere without the crowds of mass tourism. I could truly relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The beach is clean and feels authentic, not overly commercial like many others. Don’t forget to support the local ibu-ibu by trying their products: dragonfruit sweets, steamed bananas, and delicious rujak manis.

Red Island Beach (Pulau Merah) is stunning! 🏝️🌅 A wide stretch of soft sand, turquoise waves, and the iconic green island just offshore make it picture-perfect 📸✨. The waves are beginner-friendly, so it’s great for surfing 🏄‍♀️, swimming, or simply relaxing by the shore 🌊. Sunsets here are magical, painting the whole sky in warm colors 🌇💛. With local warungs serving fresh seafood and a laid-back vibe, it’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy Banyuwangi’s coastal beauty 🌴🍤.

Very nice beach for family vacation, highly recommended

One of the freat beach for sunset!!! Also they have like surfing class you would love tooo take the video of whole beach using drone because surely prettyyy

The most frequently visited beach xixixi😁 but unfortunately during weekends the ticket counter is often jammed because it is not organized, there still needs to be improvements in terms of facilities but all of that is paid off with a very beautiful sunset❤️🫶

It was great to see a real life sea turtle on the beach and let the little ones out to sea the next morning! Only downside is the long and bumpy road back and forth and why do we need to get up at 5am to set the turtles free? I'm sure they are fine waiting another few hours :)

A quite place with tropical beach type forest. Becarefull when you go in via Rajegwesi to the basecanp, use local jeep is best.

February'24 This is definately not the place if you're looking for comfort zone. The journey itself will broke you physical and mentality. But, behind the scene it was trully paradise! All natural things surround you! Jungle, beach, animals, flora, it was good! Definately superb for who look some adventure instead just take a selfie and dance for content....

This trip was amazing!! Really impressive to see the turtles and learn more about them. Professional rangers, they really care for the turtles and are doing such an important job to save this incredible animal! We will never forget this trip, terimah kasi!

Excellent ecotourism destination. Good place for kids to learn sea turtle life cycle and get close to nature! Enjoy the advemture!

Best place to see the turtle laying eggs and join the hatchlings release. It is better to stay in the National Park area which is closer to the beach

It’s quite off and take some time to reach, but our stay at Sukamade (with the luck of seeing a giant turtle laying eggs) was definitely the highlight of our Indonesian trip! There’s also beautiful rainforest in the vicinity with remains of houses from before the tsunami, however the forest is really dense so dont walk alone or you might get lost. The beach itself is rather amazing. 100% recommended!

The beach is quiet beautiful with black sand but unfortunately like you can find waste everywhere here. The local government should be responsible to maintain this tourism asset.

This beach is right in front of my house, has a characteristic with the existence of elongated rocks that look like petrified snake stealth 🐍🐍🐍. black sand. This beach is black sand. on the shoreline available resorts, musholla, grilled fish stalls and several other facilities.

Very good natural scenery, suitable for watching the sunset

Beautifull beach. You can bring hammock and your lunch here, and than enjoy your day. Don't forger invite your friends.

Pantai Watu Ulo in Jember. The weather is cool, the sand is black, and unfortunately the waves are big. so, it is very dangerous to swim on the beach.

Alternative when Papuma beach closed. But the place is little dirty, but overall is pretty good place

great place with great mythology, papuma beach is like hidden beach.

The entrance fee is quite expensive at 25,000 IDR. The tourist attraction itself is actually very nice and has great potential, but unfortunately it seems poorly maintained, especially in terms of cleanliness. It needs more attention and improvement to make it more comfortable for visitors.

Good beach especially in the western side, but the ticket entrance fee is rather expensive

Very mediocre location. don't waste your time and money. 44k entrance fee per person is ridiculous 🙈

We arrived here at 04.30 am to catch sunrise. Though it was cloudy but the beautiful sunrise still came out beautifully. We parked our car near Vihara and had to walk a bit far to reach Siti Hinggil sea view. It was breath-taking-ly beautiful. And this is claimed to be the most beautiful beach in Jember.

Stay 1 night at the resort here. Beautiful sunrise and amazing scenery. Wonderful beach. Love the landscape here. Great for photography.

The view is nice, cleanliness should be improved, cannot swim there because of the waves. There are villas for rent, but I don’t know about the rate. The grilled fishes are delicious, and quite cheap. Love it.

Beautiful and fairly clean beach. Unfortunately rough and damaged road will deter any casual visitor to reach there. Bring your own food and beverage is also essential since there aren't many higienic food stalls available.

We had a great time visiting Madakaripura Waterfall! I came with my two kids and was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty kid-friendly. The track is beginner-friendly and manageable, though there are a few slightly tricky parts – nothing too difficult, especially with a guide or some help. The scenery is breathtaking, and the waterfall itself is stunning. The water is clean, clear, and refreshing. Just make sure to bring raincoat – you will get wet! 🌿 Even if you don’t, the locals also sell it. One tip: bring some cash and wear shoes that are suitable for trekking and okay to get wet – you’ll definitely need them. A wonderful nature adventure for families!

Fyi, you’ll be amazed seeing this view. I’ll suggest you to come between June-August because the guide said that it was the most beautiful moment to visit waterfall. I gave 5 stars for the services, the cleaness and ofc for the hospitality. My guide was Pak Uyik, he’ll help you to cross the stream and took a lots of photos. Thanks for the experience Madakaripura! I’ll visit again between that months so, I can get a better view 🫶🏼

You’ll read a lot of scam about the place. In fact we really had to pay 150 k rupees per person (around 8 euro) for a short motorbike ride to the rainfall and got helmets and a local guide who brought us to the place. The money was more than worth it! You’ll get really wet, prepare!

Very beautiful and unbelievable. At first we just walked but when we noticed it was far away we just get a guide, and dont let them force you to pay huge money on guides if you dont want to pay it. (it is probably not mandotory but after a hard negatitonship, we just take the guide anyways because it was far away to walk.) Definitely bring sliper or open shoes and some raincoat or smth. But after all, it was worth to see.

An absolutely breathtaking view, truly the most stunning waterfall I’ve ever witnessed. The journey to get there was fairly manageable. The hike was around 30 mins from the locket, with mostly flat tracks, a few shallow river crossings, and a couple of mild inclines. Nothing too demanding, especially with a guide and safety gear like helmets provided. Important tip: always check the weather forecast before your visit. When it rains, access to the waterfall is strictly prohibited due to the serious risk of landslides and flash floods. It’s better to postpone your trip than to put yourself in danger.

From the parking to the base took 5minutes ride by motorcycle. Then, 30mins hike to madakaripura waterfall We could only spent an hour because we arrived late.. We reached there around 3.45pm. entrance closing time 4pm.. But less crowd and easy to get spot for photo.. The water was really cold. Superb nice waterfall, will come early next time. Worth the visit.

Definitely one of the most amazing waterfalls I've ever seen in my life and I've seen lots. Truly a majestic sight for the eyes ❤️✨ The trekking is very very easy for a beginner and kaum rebahan jaman now. But the steps to the waterfall were quite slippery so tourists must be careful. In my experience, the entrance, guide, helmet and ojek fee was reasonable and the local people there were quite friendly and polite. We paid for IDR 410,000 total for 6 pax. Before we left, we had lunch in "warung makan mbak anis" and it was definitely the highlight of the day. The sambal was top notch, everything was as requested; they spicyness and everything. Then we had a whole coconut as a dessert which put the cherry on top to the whole experience of visiting Madakaripura. Recommended 😊😍

Would recommend doing it in the afternoon around 2-3 pm, we used the villagers’ path to avoid the park entrance fee. The hike down the path was slightly slopey, but once you reach the sea of sand it is all flat and sandy it’s a fairly easy walk.

Visiting Mount Bromo was one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. The journey started early before dawn the air was cold, the stars still shining, and the excitement building with every step. As the sky slowly turned from deep blue to shades of pink and gold, the view of Bromo’s smoky crater appeared, surrounded by rolling hills and mist. It felt unreal, like standing on another planet. Watching the sunrise from the viewpoint was pure magic — the sun peeked over the horizon, lighting up the sea of clouds and painting the volcano in gold. The wind was cold, but the moment was warm with awe and peace. Every second felt worth the early wake-up and the climb. Mount Bromo isn’t just a place you visit it’s an experience you feel. The sound of the wind, the smell of sulfur, the endless view of nature’s power and beauty truly legendary. 🌋✨

no words, only emotions...We started early from Surabaya, then continued by jeep through the misty Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The highlight — a breathtaking sunrise above the clouds, followed by a scenic jeep ride and a hike to the crater of Mount Bromo itself.

If you are in Surabaya, you must climb Bromo. Best to go for a sunrise hike. The mountains and the view from the vantage point is incredible. It's such an amazing mountain with incredible folklore. This is a sacred mountain so please do not litter (there were a lot in the surroundings). There is also an altar of Ganesha where you can make offerings. There are also plenty of peddlers selling snacks and drinks. The climb is actually easy for physically fit people. But do note that there is a steep staircase climb to reach the mouth of the volcano. Alternatively, you may opt to rent a horse ride. In all, it's a must visit place.

Mt. Bromo is a stunning place and definitely worth visiting, BUT... It's not well maintained, polluted and not much is invested into it's environment. See the picture how the fence around the crater looks like... Not very safe. I went during the day and it was not crowded. And obviously the horses don't get enough food. The horse ride is really not necessary...

Beautiful crater and beautiful view of the sandy sea. Access by scooter or Jeep. Scooter parking 5000 rupees but you can park it in the same place as the Jeep (free). Then walk 10/15 minutes to get to the bottom of the stairs to climb the Mont. Entrance to the Mount = 250,000 rupees per person. Exorbitant and shameful price. HORSE ABUSE!!! Stop renting horses because you don't want to walk 15 minutes !!! Shame on Indonesians and tourists!!

I booked with a local tour group and had an amazing experience at Mt Bromo. The tour starts around midnight and we arrived at the viewpoint by 3 am to wait for the sunrise. The wait was a bit long since the sun comes up closer to 5 am and it was chilly, but you can rent a blanket for 25,000 IDR. The sunrise over Mt Bromo is absolutely breathtaking and the jeep ride through the desert to get there was exciting on its own. Our guides were wonderful and made everything smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Mt Bromo.

As an experienced hiker I can tell you it’s not to hard except to the summit. I believe it’s about 900 m elevation to the top and all thru the volcanic sand which is like one step up and slide a half step back. You will start most likely in the night between 12am -3am depending on your shape and pase. It’s Getting cold in the night while hiking up so have the right clothes with you. View is Just insane, semeru erupts approximately every 15 minute, sometimes it takes up to 90 minutes and then the explosion and smoke will be bigger.

This is the best and most beautiful mountain in Indonesia for who loved adventure and hard tracks! You must try to summit and you will be able to try again and you will not never to forget how beautifully this place!

What you can ask for the best yet highest mountain in java island. The trip will take 16-20 hours of hiking. You can camp on ranu kumbolo on the first day and camp on kalimati on second day, and then go summit at late night on second day / early morning on third day. There are a lot of beautiful view that will satisfied your eyes, from basecamp to summit. Preparation should be extra for this hiking, eventho there are porter and warung on every post and campsite, there are toilet on ranukumbolo and kalimati, ranukumbolo toilet is fine but dont expect to much on kalimati. Watersource available on ranu kumbolo and near kalimati.

This was my first time experience for hiking. I couldn't say that is easy for the first timer. So, if you are first timer maybe you can try another easy-to-reach-mountain. I think the landscape is still okay from the starting point to Kalimati. But, the hardest part is from Kalimati to the mountain peak. From the starting point, it took around 2 days to reach the top of the mountain, depend on your ability. I need a lot of short break and camping in Ranukumbolo and Kalimati. Believe me, if you visit Ranukumbolo, you want to comeback again someday. During the hiking, the temperature is freaking cold, especially at night. I couldn't sleep well because of this even if I wore proper clothes and covered myself with sleeping bag. Since hiking become a popular activity in Indonesia, mountain especially in Java is more crowded than before. Badly, I decided to hike Semeru Mountain during long weekend. So, it was super crowded!!! Honestly it made me uncomfortable a little bit.

During my stay in Indonesia I did 4 hikes but the Mount Semeru hike was the most challenging and rewarding by far! 2 days trek with awesome guide from Our Trip 1st tour operator. Day 1 is relatively easy arou d 10 km and 500 meter prominence during 6 hours. Day 2 starts at night and is around 5 km climb with 1,000 meters prominence at steep and rocky slope of Semeru. Headlamp wrongly recommend and one has to be really careful with falling rocks - apparently every year people get injured and die this way. The view on Mount Bromo and Java is very rewarding.

Really great experience we got when visit this magnificent place. Very beautiful place with beautiful people but PLEASE, keep this place clean as possible as so many tissue thrown away. Such a shame behavior from what we called a nature lover.

It is the highest mountain in java island. The starto volcano also known as mahameru, meaning "The Great Mountain". The name derived from the Hindu-Buddhist mythical mountain of Meruor Sumeru, The abode of gods. If you wanna hike to the top, the you gotta give everything you have.

I'm glad I let my curiosity get the better of me today and visited the submarine. I think walking/crawling through the submarine gave me a much better idea of what sailors commit to as crew members. Not a career I'd want! Sufficient signage in English to understand what each section is for. The nuclear submaine in the movie Red October looks palatial compared to this boat. Video drama was closed during my visit. 25,000 rupiah for international guests, 15,000 rupiah for Indonesians.

We had a quite good guided tour at this place. The tour took approximately one hour. The only issue was the language barrier. I wish the guide had better English skills at such a touristic spot. But the whole visit was impressive.

A very special monuments and hardly found elsewhere... This Submarines Monument in Surabaya is worth a visit as it is a real Submarine. It has serve the sea around 17000++ of island of Indonesia... real and attractive.. Especially the 6 big Torpedoo it carries on the vessel...

The Experience: It’s not every day you get to walk into the belly of a Soviet-built submarine in the middle of a city! The Monumen Kapal Selam (Monkasel) is a fascinating stop, especially if you appreciate military history or engineering. The Highlights: Authenticity: This isn't a replica; it's the real KRI Pasopati 410. Seeing the original equipment—from the massive torpedo tubes (which look intimidating up close!) to the vintage radio communication gear—really transports you back in time. The "Real" Submarine Feel: My photos show just how tight the corridors and bunk areas are. It gives you a newfound respect for the 63 crew members who lived in these confined spaces for months. It is a bit of a squeeze walking through, but that’s part of the authentic experience. Well-Maintained: The exterior is freshly painted in striking green and black, and the interior equipment looks surprisingly well-preserved considering its age. Educational: It seems to be a favourite for school trips (saw lots of students there), which adds a lively atmosphere. Things to Know Before You Go: Not for the Claustrophobic: As you can see from the narrow hallways, it is a tight squeeze. If you are tall or dislike enclosed spaces, just be prepared to duck your head! Accessibility: There are steep stairs to enter and exit, and you have to step through circular bulkhead doors, so comfortable shoes are a must. The Verdict: A unique, quick, and affordable attraction right in the heart of Surabaya. It’s a great short visit (about 30min) that offers a cool perspective on Indonesia's maritime history.

Surabaya Submarine Monument, or Monumen Kapal Selam, is one of the must-visit landmarks in Surabaya for history enthusiasts and travelers alike. Located near the Kalimas River, this iconic attraction is a decommissioned Soviet-built submarine, KRI Pasopati 410, transformed into a museum. It offers a rare chance to step inside an actual submarine and get a glimpse of its intricate layout and equipment. What makes this monument stand out is its impressive preservation and the opportunity to experience the history of Indonesia’s naval past up close. Walking through the narrow passages and observing the original machinery provides a fascinating insight into the life of a submariner. The detailed exhibits and accompanying video presentations help visitors understand the historical significance of the submarine, making it both an educational and memorable experience. While the monument is an excellent place to visit at any time, visiting at night adds a unique charm to the experience. The cooler temperatures make it more comfortable to explore, and the monument is beautifully illuminated, creating a picturesque and serene ambiance. The night visit allows you to enjoy the surrounding area in a more relaxed and peaceful setting. Overall, the Surabaya Submarine Monument is an engaging attraction that combines history, education, and a touch of adventure. Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or with family, it’s a destination worth adding to your itinerary when in Surabaya.

A good stop if you're interested in submarines or military. Entrance fee is cheap, but is justified by the fact that the only exhibit is the submarine. The submarine is one of the 12 whiskey class submarines that Indonesia bought during their navy's early days, and saw service from 1962 to 1990. The interior of the ship haven't changed much since it was in service (besides the countless AC units inside), and you're required to go through some small hatches as you go through the ship. Interestingly some cryllic letters are still visible in some labels. If you want more information about the Indonesian navy highly recommend visiting the Indonesian Navy Museum as well.

The Submarine Monument (Monumen Kapal Selam) is one of Surabaya’s most interesting historical attractions. Visitors can explore the interior of the KRI Pasopati, a real submarine used by the Indonesian Navy, complete with informative displays about its history and operations. The location is excellent—right in the city center and easy to reach from various hotels and attractions. A well-maintained site that offers a unique insight into Indonesia’s naval history. Definitely worth a visit.

Most complete park in Surabaya. Playground, wide hall, foodstall every where. Quiet parking space. Some cozy café. Good atmosphere

This is a very well known park in Surabaya, even people from outside Surabaya knows a little about this park. The park is really green and beautiful because of many trees, that also make the air become cooler here. There are many areas for people to do skateboard, jogging, and many kind of sports. A playground for children also available here. It can be accessed easily because of being located near the city centre, and many public transportation through this place.

One of the best city park in Indonesia, world even. It won an award and has nice playground for kids. It usually crowded at weekend, especially at car free day (cfd) event every Sunday morning.

Car free day an disini.

Really love this place! The "car free day event" every sunday is a must visit, you can find anything from traditional foods to nice clothings with affordable prices. Also, there are lots of community gathering here on weekend. Maybe you could join one if you want to.

I dared to post photos from an off-the-beaten angles. I'm not sure why this park is popular after actually visiting here. Yeah, it's big and green. You can enjoy fresh air, however it's never a quiet place. It's surrounded by busy roads. Well, this is not a touristy spot from the beginning. By the way, it might be good for lunch since you can find an open-air food court(?) somewhere in this plot. Oasis for businesspeople.

Taman Bungkul is the best garden in Surabaya. Many beuty flower planted here. Green and shade is the first impression when the first sight here. One of Amazing and beautiful garden in Surabaya. Love you my second home town. Recommended by Kayin Fauzi owner of Pondok Mantau producer of Mantau Black Pepper a special buns of Balikpapan.

This is what's left after the disaster happened in 2006. It's now a large area of mud, and the mudflow is still active until now. Not really a recreational place, but you can find some good photo spots here.

The worst and disastrous mining's environmental incident in Indonesia. Lapindo mud burst, May 2006. The settlement of Lapindo mudflow victims in Sidoarjo, East Java, has not been completed yet. In May 2017, just after 11 years of hot mud burst, there are still dozens of casualties, both from citizens and businessmen, who have not received any compensation.

I have to give it 5 stars since we explored the place via a drone and its incredibly interesting. Its definetely not a tourist attraction but a memorial to the devastating power caused by human error.

Lapindo mud pond is a geological disaster that occurs as a result of excessive oil well exploration. It is located in Porong, Sidoarjo, which is the lifeline of Java's cross-transport route. Many expectations of disaster-affected residents are written on the pool wall.

A place where a mud volcano breakout tragedy occurred years ago, now a sightseeing place. Emit strong sulphuric smell which could reach kilometers.

Fun place to take a photograph and learn about oil n gas mining

The place really cozy and so perfect if u guys want to be chill near the mud beach, and the smell from the mud really addicting. u will regret if u not visiting this mud beach.

Visited Museum Sepuluh Nopember Surabaya and Monumen Tugu Pahlawan. The experience was quite okay-ish overall. Considering the extraordinary history of Surabaya’s struggle, I felt it could be presented in a more engaging and impactful way. That being said, there are still some parts that are well-done and informative, especially the dioramas, which give a clearer picture of the events. On the positive side, the entrance fee is very affordable, so in terms of price-to-value it’s quite okay — though I think the overall experience can still be improved to better reflect the importance of the history it represents.

This museum covers the history of Surabaya, but focuses mostly on the Battle of Surabaya. The garden gives you a grand welcome to the museum, then take the left route to be led into the museum. Tickets cost 15K and requires you register online before buying a ticket. The museum was redoing the second floor of the exhibit when I visited November 2025. Compared to the other museums I visited I felt like they could've done a better job showing what happened and improve the display but with the unique shape of the building I feel artistic qualities take precedence.

As Surabaya is well-known as Kota Pahlawan (The City of Heroes), this spot is definitely a must-visit during your city tour. Tugu Pahlawan stands tall and proud, right above the Museum Sepuluh November which is surprisingly modern, clean, and fully air-conditioned (a big plus in Surabaya heat!). The entrance ticket is super affordable (only Rp 8.000.pax), and the museum gives a nice glimpse into Indonesia’s struggle for independence, with well-curated displays like Bung Tomo’s voice, dioramas, and old war relics. Just a heads-up: don’t go visit the monument around noon unless you’re ready to melt—it gets really hot outside! The good things are the parking area is spacious, and once you’re done exploring, the area is surrounded by lots of street food and local eats to try.

A small museum under a part of the monument. Commemorating the independence struggles in Surabaya. Lots of information and artifacts from the colonial and post colonial era. Can complete a full tour in about an hour. The design and layout is old fashioned but nice.

A visit to Tugu Pahlawan (Heroes Monument) and the Museum Sepuluh Nopember in Surabaya offers more than just a glimpse into Indonesia’s history—it’s an emotional and educational journey into the spirit of national resistance. Towering at over 41 meters, the white obelisk of Tugu Pahlawan stands proudly in the heart of the city, surrounded by a peaceful garden that invites both quiet reflection and civic pride. Its design symbolizes the date of the historic Battle of Surabaya: 10 November 1945, a defining moment in Indonesia’s fight for independence. Beneath the monument lies the hidden gem: Museum Sepuluh Nopember. Built underground to preserve the monument’s prominence, the museum houses dioramas, relics, and audio-visual archives that bring to life the bravery of Surabaya’s youth and militia. One highlight is the powerful recording of Bung Tomo’s rallying speech, which echoes through the museum’s halls with raw emotion. The museum’s layout is thoughtfully arranged, taking visitors through episodes of battle, personal stories, and cultural resistance. While most exhibits are labeled in Bahasa Indonesia, the visual storytelling is strong enough to be appreciated by all visitors. The experience is especially impactful for students and anyone wanting to understand the roots of Indonesia’s national identity. In short, this site is not just a historical stop—it’s a symbol of sacrifice and unity. A must-visit when in Surabaya.

It is a great walk to the monumen. No ticket entrance. It take 30 minutes to enjoy the whole park. It was an enjoyable walk and discovery.

Spacious museum, there are some sections/rooms for different kinds of stories. Additionally, there is also a garden outside and i met lots of cats there! To your knowledge, you have to make online registration before entering the sites. The ticket price is only 5k!

+ Starbucks standard services and goods + Located in Surabaya Town Square, one of the young people places to hangout + Plenty outdoor seating

Kind of a cozy and peaceful place to hang out or just sit enjoying coffee.. Must try!

Love this outlet. It is not quite large but it's so comfy. I love the staff and the baristas there. They are so friendly and really helpful comparing to any other Starbucks' staff in Surabaya. And they make delicious coffee too. The best Starbucks place I've ever visited.

Most fave : asian dolce lattee

The taste of coffee @Starbucks Sutos Surabaya is just magnificently superb! And you savor your Starbucks coffee in a cozy ambiance in this Starbucks place makes your day delightfully satisfied! Plus the friendly prompt service of the staffs & the duscounts they offer you, will make your satisfaction complete! You'll love sipping Starbucks coffee in this place. One should not miss it! 👍👍👍

Like any other starbucks, it's cozy place and delicious beverages brings lovely time for you whenever you want to have your me time also your quality time with your mates. Smoking area is available. Don't ask about the service, the services from the crew are good enough but you know that you have to seevice your own here.

It is located on the second floor. Ambience are great. Nothing special. A bit smaller than usual starbucks. Drinks are okay. Basically just a normal starbucks coffee. But u can see event going on from this starbucks

The area is huge, the animals are too common, nothing special. I just feel that they're too commercial. The feeling of going through a wild area wasn't there. The first day we rode on the park's vehicle. The driver only speaks Indonesian and he drove too fast. My friend booked to stay at Baobab for 2 nights, so we hired a car to make another tour and they tried to charge the extra 200k as he's a foreigner. After waited for 10 minutes they let us in.

Great family experience despite high price for foreigners (400,000 rupiah per person). After driving through the animals where you can feed them , there’s a small theme park with some rides and free dolphin/elephant shows. Really enjoyable for the whole family! Food at the cafe was delicious at reasonable price too! By the way, it is all cashless right from the entrance fees to cafe etc, so make sure to bring along a credit card.

Great place for family with small kids to enjoy, with various animals shows and also safari bus ride to bring you around their Safari area, feeding animals while on the go. Remember to buy your own vegetables, bananas and carrots prior to entering the Safari Park.

Excellent place for family. Theme park. Animal feeding, carnivore. Day and night feeding. Water theme park, rides for kids and adults. Restaurants and cafes. Lots of walking to and fro attractions. Not a place for seniors and no wheel chair access. Cool weather in July. Entry to the theme park is expensive for tourists compared to locals.

Almost similar to Taman Safari Cisarua, but the vibes. Here is more natural and cooler. Baby zoo is recommended. Online ticket can be bought thru the official Instagram. Parking lot is not big enough especially for holiday season

I had the best time of my life here feeding the cute animals. Ilama, deer, bambi reindeer and so forth.

Safari Park Prigen is the biggest safari park in Indonesia, and it truly lives up to its reputation. The park features a wide variety of very attractive animals and entertaining shows that are sure to delight visitors of all ages. Safari adventure is very entertaining. The landscape near the mountain adds to the enjoyment, providing stunning views and a refreshing atmosphere. Despite the park's popularity, the large area ensures that it never feels crowded, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Overall, it's a fantastic destination for a fun and educational day out.

Great place, but for kids. please mind that if you're height not 120-140cm you only play little vehicles. It means you better buy ticket only not the full ticket package. because the officer will not explain it to you 😔... And I don't know why, we can only play once the vehicle, if you want more you need to buy ticket 😓.

Easy to locate! Went on a Sun night and it wasn’t too packed! Mostly locals, not much tourists so felt like a really authentic experience. A good mix of thrilling and chill rides, the weather was perfect for a night out here. Got the all access pass for 120k IDR and spent about 2 hours here. They had stalls selling drinks, snacks and a food court with live shows at selected timings. Definitely drop by if you’re in Batu!

The place isn't very big, but it has lots of rides—from kids to adults, everything’s pretty complete. I suggest checking what you want to try first, so you can decide if the all-access ticket is worth it. If you're not planning to try many rides, it's better to get regular tickets and pay for each ride. Kereta Terbang felt really fast and a bit scary—it looked like it might hit the signs because everything felt so close! 😅

While there may not have been a large number of attractions at night, there were definitely enough to keep our kids thoroughly entertained.

Amazing place so much fun i love it 5 star from me

A must-visit night attraction in Batu. There are plenty of fun rides, great photo spots, and souvenir shops. The highlight is definitely the fascinating dancing fountain.

Night show amd food court for cozy times.. specially with family..

Very recommended place to spend your holiday with family Consists of 3 main area, museum satwa, secret zoo and VR area. Friendly for babies, 1 day is not enough to explore every section, you just cannot get enough

The best place for kids, it has everything. Zoo contains almost all kinds of animals, park, soft play, rides, obstacle course. The most amazing thing is the way the Park is designed and it's a single way that is everything is along a single route you don't have to decide things like should I go left first or right and circle back, very easy to navigate and full stroller friendly. For foreigners you can get 20% Discount when you purchase ticket from the marketing department.

Place is huge but lack of concept. Huge variety but seems like it just mashed up together. Especially for the ride facilities. It only showed a broken down statue with minimum effort. No improvement since my last visit 10+ years ago.

Great experience. Better to come here in the eraly morning to enjoy all of it for slow walker, bring stroller for kids, bring clothes just in case, bring some cash & debit cards. Toilets are clean. There are Musholla. Friendly & well educates staffs. So many animals we can find here, not just the usual ones. The amusement park is at the end of the Secret Zoo's route and free. Clean environment. Lots of parking space & accessible for wheelchair. Many cheap food stalls

3rd time visiting this place. Last was on 2018. Still offering great experience. Have new area 'drive thru park'. Highly recommended to enjoying holiday with kids. Visit on mid October, so the place is not too crowded.

Very pleasing and enjoyable experience! However, increasing the payment options to allow cashless method will be very fun!

It's cool. You must visit this place when you are at Batu Malang. The ticket is affordable, during weekend only 170K and you can enjoy Batu Secret Zoo and drive thru attraction. The area is large. I spent time from 10.00 AM to 15.30 PM. It's a fun and enjoying place.
