Menjangan's Activities

Begin your adventure from a pristine white sandy beach, where traditional fishing boats, locally known as “sampan,” await to take you on a journey into nature’s untouched beauty. This trip starts with an enchanting ride through the mangrove maze that surrounds the tranquil waters of Banyuwedang Bay.

As your sampan glides through the intricate mangrove channels, keep your eyes peeled for the diverse wildlife that calls this area home. The mangroves serve as a natural haven for many bird species, and you might be lucky enough to spot a kingfisher darting through the trees or a heron gracefully wading in the water. These moments offer a perfect opportunity for birdwatching enthusiasts to capture stunning photographs and observe these creatures in their natural habitat.

The mangroves aren’t just for the birds. Look closely, and you might see a troop of monkeys hanging from the branches or feasting on the abundant mangrove fruits. Their playful antics and curious nature add a delightful touch to your trip, making it a memorable experience for travelers of all ages.

The mangrove tour can start in the morning with a beautiful sunrise or in the afternoon with a sunset, offering a stunning backdrop of the Java volcano and a peaceful ambiance. It’s best to spot animals during low tide.
