Handeuleum Island
Pulau Handeuleum
A small island among the mangroves on the northeast shore of the peninsula, with a ranger station and basic lodging. It's the departure point for canoe trips on the Cigenter River.
Handeuleum Island lies in a mangrove bay on the northeast side of the Ujung Kulon peninsula. The island has a ranger station, simple guest rooms and coconut palms, and it's quieter than Peucang Island. The shallow mangrove waters are good for birdwatching and spotting mudskippers, and deer often roam the island in the evening. It serves mainly as a transfer point for canoe trips on the Cigenter River. From Tamanjaya, the boat ride takes about 1 hour. The beach is not suitable for swimming, and accommodation is basic, so book in advance through the park office or a local guide.
Opening hours
