Situated in Pantai Indah Kapuk in North Jakarta, the Angke Kapuk natural tourism park
covers an area of 99.82 hectares overlooking the Jakarta bay. With an entrance fee of
Rp 25,000 (US$1.87) per person for adults and Rp 10,000 for children, the place offers
river cruising on a motorboat as well as walking and cycling around the forest through
bamboo and wooden paths. A six-seat motorboat can be rented for Rp 350,000 per
boat. A bigger size, which can accommodate up to eight people, is available for Rp
400,000. Fauna watching is one of the perks that visitors can expect to enjoy while
cruising the mangrove forest. During our recent visit, several wild birds were standing
at wooden poles scattered among the trees.
"If you arrive earlier in the morning, you can also see some lizards swimming in the
river," said our boatman, Agus.
In addition to a bird watching area, which is best seen from a wooden bridge
connecting one mangrove zone to another, there is also an avian nursery reachable by
bike. When it is close to sunset, visitors can be found lingering at and around a 20-
meter tower near the cottage area. Made entirely from wood, the accommodation
options are perfect for those seeking to enjoy the lush trees and calm river overnight.
