More so than Katapang, Bali's ferry port, Banyuwangui is a stop-over town from which to prepare the climb up the Ijen volcano. It is also a Java province with dense forests and the fine G-Land, a famous surfing spot.

My suggestion
Go to the beach at the break of dawn to help the fishermen put their multicoloured double outrigger boat in the water. To explore the Ijen volcano independently, hire a moped, this is possible even in the middle of the night!
If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.
Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment. If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!
Flores and the Sunda islands in general are much less touristic that certain other destinations in Indonesia. Go there to enjoy an authentic adventure in the Indonesian archipelago.
A trip to Bali is a series of discoveries, spiritual, cultural, culinary and also of sports. Surfing is one of the attractive facets of the island. Bali with its varied beaches, of sand and of reefs, washed by warm turquoise waters, is a real surfing paradise. There are waves for all tastes and levels. So, hesitate no more and take the plunge!
