Ijen Crater

Reviewed By TheHumbleTravellers - Greater Noida, India

This place may look like a nightmare of your badest dreams but is so amazingly beautiful, surprising and adventurous. People visit here for 2 reasons a) To reach summit and stay there to watch beautiful turquoise lake and if lucky some views of blue fire b) To reach summit and then go down the crater to have chance of lifetime to see blue fire and sulphur miners doing manual mining We gathered all our courage to go down the crater as well. Now this trekking starts late night as blue fire is not visible once sun comes out so we need to go down crater before sunlight comes out. Going up the summit of Ijen requires decent stamina but not very challenging. Challenging part starts when you to move down the crater in almost zero light and only torch or mobile light visible. Its one of the most adventurous hiking done by me. During going down, you will encounter sulphur miners who manually gather sulphur and hangit on there shoulder to the top (almost 70 kg in one round) and they do it 2-3 times in a day, it so damn amazing as we only in one round were totally out. Reaching bottom is like reaching surface of moon, completely different environment with deadly gases around (masks are suggested to be safe from carbon di oxide), unique surrounding with sulphur coming out of mountains and then you see the most amazing thing - BLUE FIRE, its so beautiful For hikers/nature lovers - its a must visit. Its ones in a lifetime experience Special thanks to our tour guide who ensured we experience everything and safely too.

Sukamade Beach

Reviewed By gina00chew - Singapore, Singapore

Such an unusual experience to see the turtle lay eggs and amazing that each turtle can lay up to a hundred eggs each time. Another interesting experience is that at the Sukamade Beach you can have the pleasure of releasing baby turtle back into the sea and the excitement that the turtle enjoy when they heard the sound of the sea waves What an experience !!!!!!

Teluk Hijau Beach

Reviewed By br14n1m4g3s - Batu, Indonesia

This beach seems like my version of the favorite beach in Banyuwangi. The beach is quite hidden, the water is clear greenish. To reach this beach, you can walk from the parking area on the Rajekwesi beach, or rent a boat from a local fisherman for 50k per person round trip, complete with life jackets. Unfortunately on the land, there is still trash at some point. Hopefully in the future, managers and visitors can better maintain the cleanliness of this beach

Alas Purwo National Park

Reviewed By thomasveriasa - Klaten, Indonesia

Beautifull forest, savana and beach... easy to see green peafowl in the rest area of savana sadengan and see the wild buffalo and deer from the viewing tower... and i'm also lucky to see the peafowl crossing the road dan enter the forest very slowly. You can see the hindu temple inside the national park.. I recommended the 1 day trip route : from the front gate -- Savana Sadengan -- Pancur Beach -- Sea Turtle Research Station or Plengkung Beach...

Pulau Merah Beach

Reviewed By br14n1m4g3s - Batu, Indonesia

This beach is one of the tourist icons in Banyuwangi. Road access to the location is still not good. But on the beach itself, we can enjoy a shady beach atmosphere. Entrance ticket is relatively cheap. On the beach, we can rent lounge chairs for 2 people for 20k per hour. There are also young coconut ice sellers, and several food vendors around.

Tabuhan Island

Reviewed By dwiyanfa - Jakarta, Indonesia

Tabuhan Island is located around 20 min from Menjangan Island by boat. The snorkeling spot in Tabuhan island is not far from the seashore, so you can just lay back at the seashore when you’re tired and go back for snorkeling anytime. The island is even quieter than Menjangan Island. You’ll definetely feel like you own the island ???? There’s only one stall selling instant noodle and coconut, which is good because you would want to stay longer in the island as the beach is very clean and your kids would love to play and swim and snorkel.
