Book Your Baluran Trip in Banyuwangi, East Java
When you explore Baluran National Park in Banyuwangi, East Java, you can visit the historic Gua Jepang, a wartime site in the Batangan area where fierce fighting took place and that features two chambers-one north chamber once used to store weapons and a south chamber that served as a lookout fissure; this poignant site adds deep historical context to your trip. About 12 km from the park entrance, the Bekol Savannah offers classic savannah scenery where you’ll see herds of deer and bulls active in the cool morning and afternoon light, perfect for nature-focused tours and family sightseeing. To the east of the park, Bama Beach provides an original coastal panorama with visible mangrove forest, the Bama source and the Mantingan source, and a memorable wildlife moment when you might observe long-tailed monkeys interacting along the shore-making it an ideal stop if you're booking Outdoor & Nature or wildlife activities through Varoom in the region.
