3 Day Sukamade Extension

Arriving in Banyuwangi, you will spend a night here before starting your adventure the next day.

Accommodation:
Standard: Ketapang Indah Hotel or similar
Superior: Jawa Jiwa Ijen or similar

After taking rest start your journey towards Meru Betiri National Park. On the way there, you will pass by remote villages, and the rubber-, coffee- and cacao plantations that are an integral part of life here in Java. The final road to Sukamade requires some effort as you will be trekking through Macadam up to the point where a river will need to be crossed. Finally reaching the Sukamade checkpoint in the afternoon where you will be staying in the Rangers Guest House. The ranger guest house is very simple and has no air-conditioning. There is also no standing shower; instead you will have the traditional “bak mandi”, a large water tank from which you scoop water over yourself with a small bucket. Everything gets wet! The mandi is very common in rural areas.

After an early dinner, it’s time to watch the turtles lay their eggs on the beach, a sight that is both rare and amazing to witness. You will sit on the beach and wait for the signals from park ranger who search for the turtles. You are not allowed to smoke, turn on flashlights, talk loudy, or make any loud noises. Imagining the sea-turtles take a distance of thousands of kilometers from their origin in the other parts of the continent far away and just laying eggs on the Sukamade Beach. Afterwards, we go back to guesthouse and have nice dreams.

NOTE: It is not guaranteed, we will always find the turtle laying their eggs.
