Cidaon Grazing Ground
Padang Penggembalaan Cidaon
A seaside grassland across from Peucang Island. From the observation tower at dawn and dusk, you can watch banteng, peafowl and deer grazing.
Cidaon is a man-made grassland managed by the park, separated from Peucang Island by a narrow strait that takes about 10 minutes by small boat. Wooden observation towers stand at the edge of the grassland. At dawn or dusk you can often see herds of banteng (wild Javan cattle), green peafowl, Javan deer and wild boar coming out to feed. It is the easiest place in the park to see large wild animals. Javan rhinos are very rarely seen here, so don't set your hopes too high. Keep quiet while observing, don't approach the banteng, and follow your guide to and from the site. It can be combined with a hike to Karang Copong on the same day.
