Unlike more popular Indonesian islands, Bawean remains off the beaten path, offers pristine beaches with the crystalline waters, Noko Gili and Noko Selayar atolls as well as the scenic ancient caldera, Kastoba Lake with lush forest. Feel the clean oxygen at the only highest waterfall, Laccar. You can also find the true magic of Bawean lies in places like Karst Tanjung Ga’ang for golden hour or the underwater meadows of Pulau Cina Bawean.

Bawean Island is also a home of endangered species of the smallest deer in world, Axis Kuhlii, one of SEA Games Maskot in 2018. Feed small group of Bawean deer in their Sanctuary.

Here’s details, keep reading :

Kastoba Lake One of the most special destinations include the white-sand sandbars of Noko Selayar and Noko Gili are small white-sand islands close to Bawean, surrounded by crystal-clear shallow blue water, perfect recommendation for tropical vibes for snorkeling and taking photography as well as healthy coral reefs. I think Noko Gili and Noko Selayar Bawean Bawean are Maldives-like scenery.

The next is Tanjung Gaang cape or Karst Tanjung Gaang. It has a small beach surrounded by reefs. It is best visited in the afternoon about 15.00 when the tide comes. The most beautiful view can be seen by walking through the sharp black reefs and seeing the greenish blue shallow sea nearby the reef down there. Must be careful to walk about the reef carefully.

The reef indicates that this reef was one upon a time located in the bottom of shallow sea before the sea level lower like today.

I can only imagine that the whole island must not be an island in the very past when the ice in the world melted and rise of the sea level. And Lake Kastoba was probably an active volcano in the middle of the sea

The next nature spot is Kastoba lake. It is a hidden volcanic treasure tucked away in the center of Bawean Island.

Perched atop a hill about 400 meters above sea level, this stunning freshwater lake fills a volcanic caldera created millions of years ago by the ancient mount explosion. The caldera is surrounded by lush tropical rainforest and giant trees that have stood strongly.

Snorkeling at Pulau Cina, a small island in the northern west part of Bawean, offers a “real-life aquarium” experience with vibrant, healthy coral reefs and diverse marine life.

Pulau Cena is also a popular spots include the sunset and mangrove point. If you love marine life, you will find that the underwater world in Pulau Cena Bawean is a true paradise. The stunning sea creatures and the marine diversity will leave you amazed

Laccar waterfall is the highest and most iconic waterfall on Bawean Island, Gresik. Standing at approximately 25 meters tall, it is celebrated for its unique geological features and serene tropical setting. The nature atmosphere around gives coolness with a gentle breeze blowing wet, with rocks piled which is usually used as a stopover for many people and ready to play a natural shower or swim in cool pool. Laccar waterfall will always be a potential natural destination in Bawean.
