Explore Alas Purwo National Park: Java’s Wild Last Frontier
Welcome to Alas Purwo National Park, a hidden gem on the eastern tip of Java, Indonesia. As one of the island’s last remaining natural forests, this protected area is a paradise for adventurers, nature lovers, and surfers. Our tour is designed to take you deep into its heart, exploring its incredible biodiversity and unique cultural sites.
Beyond the dense jungle, the park is home to Plengkung Beach, famously known as “G-Land.” With its legendary waves reaching up to 7-8 meters and stretching for 2 km, it’s considered the second-best surfing spot in the world after Hawaii. It’s a true playground for professional surfers.
But Alas Purwo offers more than just surfing. The park is a sanctuary for diverse wildlife and unique natural attractions, including:
- Ngagelan Beach: Home to a vital sea turtle conservation center.
- Istana Cave: An ancient, untouched cave waiting to be explored.
- Pura Giri Salaka: A sacred Hindu temple nestled in the forest.
- Sadengan Savanna: A natural habitat where you can spot wild animals roaming freely.
Join our tour to experience the magic of this untouched wilderness.
