- Please note that sunrise in Bromo and the blue flames cannot be guaranteed as they are subject to unpredictable weather conditions
- Bring enough cash is also necessary as your debit card or credit card is not reliable in this location
- In the Conservation area (Sukamade) there is only one guesthouse, of course only 300 meters from the beach where the turtles arrive, and that's the most basic one. Honestly, this is a bad guesthouse! But that's what there is if you want to see turtles. So if you do decide to see turtles, put yourself in an even worse position. So if you are lucky to see turtles laying their eggs it will be worth it.
- The Guesthouse in Sukamade does not provide, toiletries, toilet paper, towels, blankets
- The guesthouse is in the jungle, so don't open the room door without your supervision, there will be lots of monkeys, etc
- Even though turtles arrive at the beach almost every night, but it is a natural process we can't guarantee that you will see turtles
- Turtles land on the beach around 7 pm until before morning, So conservation officers in observing turtles with tourists are only limited from 7 pm to 11 pm
- The best time to visit Sukamade Turtle Beach is all year-round. But, your chance is getting higher to spot the mother turtle from December until February. During this season, mostly 60-80 years old mother turtles come to this area to lay their eggs on Sukamade Shore.
