Tarakan Mangrove Forest

The mangrove forest is one of the favourite tourist sites in Tarakan. We can go along the forest and walk on the long bridge made of ironwood in the mangrove forest. If we are lucky, we can also meet endemic animals, including the bekantan, which is Indonesia’s most protected monkey species. Breathe in the fresh breeze, immerse yourself in the nature of the mangrove forest.
