the train from Yogyakarta takes about 12 hours to get to Kalibaru. And also you can use a regular bus with the aim of going to Bali, you can stop at the Ketapang terminal and but from the Ketapang terminal you still have to look for other transportation to go to Kalibaru.
to get to banyuwangi – Kalibaru from Yogyakarta you can only use one of the trains and even then only one economy class train named Sri Tanjung this train operates every day, but because it is economy class and being the only train that goes to Banyuwangi Kalibaru makes this train always full.
from Yogyakarta Lempuyangan Station the train will depart at 7.00am and will arrive at Kalibaru Banyuwangi station at approximately 18.00pm .
“Should prepare accommodation – pick-up before arriving here”
because the time of arrival is already night time so you have to stay around Kalibaru to wait until tomorrow morning.
from Kalibaru you need special transportation which is usually used for Sukamade beach exploration activities and is available in package form.
the Sukamade turtle point program will be carried out starting in the morning and will also use vehicles that are not like public transportation because to access Sukamade you need a 4-wheel drive vehicle so that only certain cars can go to the Sukamade area.
What should be prepared before going to the Sukamade turtle point?
Ticket train – accomodation at kalibaru – car + guide + accomodation at sukamade.
for who have a package program
Before arriving, it’s a good idea if you have ordered a local guide or vehicle to access SukaMade because if not at a certain time the number of vehicles or the number of guides is not balanced with the number of visitors so that many visitors decide to come back or look for other destinations because there are no available vehicles to Sukamade. .
to reach Sukamade, of course you can only approach one area, namely Kalibaru and indeed for some travelers it is the initial destination or as a place for the closest transit before heading to Sukamade/turtle point
What will do while at Turtle Point Sukamade?
the usual schedule you will be taken to the turtle conservation center around Sukamade where here you will interact directly with turtles in captivity and see the process of hatching turtle eggs to see hatchlings or baby turtles that are ready to be released or released into the sea.
Lodging “makeshift” is prepared for your rest, while waiting for the night around 20.00 is the right time to observe wild turtles laying eggs along the beach.
