Explore Sempu Island and Goa Cina: An Unforgettable East Java Adventure
Escape the ordinary and join us for a unique trip to Explore Sempu Island and Goa Cina, two of East Java’s most stunning coastal destinations. This tour is designed for adventurers seeking a blend of thrilling trekking, secluded beaches, and natural wonders.
Sempu Island, a protected nature reserve, is a true hidden gem. Its main attraction, Segoro Anakan, is a saltwater lagoon hidden within the island’s interior. This breathtaking natural pool is a sight to behold, with its calm, turquoise waters offering a stark contrast to the powerful waves of the Indian Ocean that crash against the island’s outer cliffs.
A short drive away, Goa Cina Beach provides a different kind of coastal beauty. Known for its strong currents, pristine sand, and unique sea cave, it’s the perfect spot to relax and watch a spectacular sunset. Our tour combines the tranquil seclusion of Sempu Island with the dramatic coastal scenery of Goa Cina Beach for an unforgettable two-day experience.
Itinerary: Your 2-Day Adventure
This itinerary is carefully crafted to ensure you get the most out of your trip, with a perfect balance of activity and relaxation.
Day 1: Trek to a Hidden Lagoon
We will pick you up in the morning from the airport in either Surabaya or Malang. We recommend an early arrival as the journey to the coast is quite long. After a picturesque two-hour drive from Malang through local villages and production forests, we will arrive at Sendang Biru Beach, the gateway to Sempu Island.
You’ll have time to rest and enjoy a hearty lunch while taking in the beautiful white-sand beach. Then, we will take a short 15-20 minute boat ride across the strait to Ants Bay, the main entry point to Sempu Island.
From the bay, we will begin our two-hour trek through a lush tropical forest on a rocky footpath. This challenging but rewarding hike will lead us to the breathtaking Segoro Anakan lagoon. Upon arrival in the afternoon, we will work together to set up our tents and gather firewood, preparing for an evening of camping on the edge of this stunning natural wonder.
Day 2: Coastal Views and Sunset
Rise and shine at 5 a.m. to catch the serene morning atmosphere. You’ll witness the first rays of sun casting a beautiful glow over the cliffs and the vast Indian Ocean. As the sun rises, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the tranquil waters of the Segoro Anakan lagoon. You can also observe the cave that connects the lagoon to the open sea, which fills the lagoon with saltwater during high tide.
After a morning of swimming and exploration, we will pack up and trek back through the forest to Ants Bay. We will then take the boat back to Sendang Biru Beach, where you can shower, clean up, and enjoy a well-deserved lunch.
From Sendang Biru, our journey continues to Goa Cina Beach, a beautiful, more natural alternative to the beaches in the surrounding area. We will arrive around 2 p.m. and spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the beach’s atmosphere, exploring the cave that gives the beach its name, and watching a magnificent sunset. Once you’ve had your fill of the beach, we will head back to the airport, train station, or your hotel, marking the end of our adventure.
