Bawean Trip Information

Welcome to the ultimate guide to Bawean Tourism, where adventure meets untouched natural beauty. Located in the heart of the Java Sea, approximately 120 kilometers north of Gresik, East Java, Bawean Island is an emerging destination often referred to as the “Hidden Eden.” This volcanic island offers a rare escape from the commercialized tourist hubs of Indonesia, providing a raw and authentic experience for nature lovers, trekkers, and underwater enthusiasts alike.

Discover the Magic of the “Island of 99 Hills”

Bawean Tourism is centered around its unique topography and rare biodiversity. Known as the “Island of 99 Hills,” the landscape is a dramatic mix of lush highlands, ancient volcanic craters, and crystalline coastal waters. One of the primary draws for international travelers is the Bawean Deer (Axis kuhlii), a critically endangered species found nowhere else on Earth. Our tours take you deep into the island’s heart to witness these majestic creatures in their natural sanctuary.

An Underwater Paradise Like No Other

For those seeking marine adventures, Bawean Tourism boasts some of the most pristine coral reefs in the Java Sea. Unlike the crowded dive spots of Bali or Lombok, the waters around Gili Noko and Pulau Cina remain largely undiscovered. Here, visibility can reach up to 20 meters, revealing vibrant coral gardens and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. Whether you are snorkeling in the shallow sandbars of Noko Selayar or diving near the volcanic cliffs of Tanjung Gaang, the marine life here is spectacularly undisturbed.

Cultural Authenticity and Warm Hospitality

Beyond the scenery, the soul of Bawean Tourism lies in its people. Known as the “Island of Women” due to the traditional migration of its men, Bawean offers a unique cultural narrative. Visitors are often struck by the genuine warmth and hospitality of the local Boyanese people. Exploring the traditional markets and tasting local culinary delights like Krupuk Bawean provides a cultural depth that enriches every journey.
