The Sunrise Expedition: Sailing the Majestic Coast of Banyuwangi

Where the Savannah Meets the Sea

As the first place in Java to greet the sun, Banyuwangi offers a sailing experience unlike any other in Indonesia. Imagine waking up on a yacht to the sight of wild deer and peacocks roaming the shores of Alas Purwo, or navigating the calm, turquoise waters of Tabuhan Island. The coastline is a dramatic blend of rugged cliffs, lush national parks, and hidden lagoons. Whether you are seeking a high-end crossing to Bali or a quiet escape into the wild, Banyuwangi’s waters are the archipelago’s best-kept secret. With Indonesia Sport Journey, we bridge the gap between Java’s untamed wilderness and the elegance of the sea.

Sail the Untamed East.

Experience the raw beauty of Java’s eastern tip from the deck of a private yacht. Indonesia Sport Journey curates exclusive sailing trips through the national parks and pristine islands of Banyuwangi.
