Rent a car to Red Island

Car rental to Pulau Merah is the most recommended transportation option for tourists who want to enjoy sunset best in Banyuwangi. Unlike the inner-city destinations, Red Island Beach is located in Pesanggaran Subdistrict, around 60-70 km from Banyuwangi city center.

Because of the long distance (equivalent to a Jakarta-Bogor trip but via a provincial road), AyoBanyuwangi provides a fleet of healthy and excellent MPVs. Public transportation to this location is minimal and time-consuming, while online taxis are often hard to find for the return trip at night.

Driving Route & Tips to Pulau Merah

The route to Pulau Merah is predominantly a smooth asphalt road that winds through villages and teak forests.

1. Unidirectional Route: From the city, you will pass through the sub-districts of Rogojampi, Srono, Benculuk (De Djawatan), Jajag, then enter Pesanggaran. Take advantage of this route to stop by De Djawatan in the morning/afternoon.
2. Road Conditions: 95% Smooth Asphalt. However, be careful when entering the rubber / teak plantation area near the beach because the road lighting is minimal at night.
3. Cell phone signal: Telkomsel & XL are safe on the coast. However in the teak forest area (between Jajag and Pesanggaran), the signal is often blank spot. Tips: Download Google Maps Offline before leaving.
