Banyuwangi is the east-most city in Java, one of the most densely populated islands in the world. Banyuwangi Regency extends over an area of 5,800 square km, from the southern beaches of the Indian Ocean, to the impressive Mt Raung that stands at 3,282 meters and Mt Merapi at 2,800 meters above sea level.
If you wish to travel overland from Bali, catch the ferry at Gilimanuk port, on the western tip of Bali which sails to the port of Ketapang at Banyuwangi.
There is a small marina here - Boom Marina - which has 12 berths and is only a few miles across from Bali if you do not want to stay there. Fuel, water and provisioning available here.
The town of Banyuwangi is the gateway to the reserve of Alas Purwo National Park, the oldest conservation area on Java Island. You can also go trekking through the savannah of Baluran National Park, where you can see the large Java water buffaloes called “banteng”, small Java mouse-deer known as “kancil”, peacocks, eagles, macaques, and also many other wild animals.
