Explore The Mangrove Forest at 
Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk Jakarta

Not all mangrove forests are accessible because mangroves grow in brackish water, where slow-moving water allows sediments to accumulate. In short, the mangroves either grow in waterlogged soil or muddy soil. How can you enjoy the mangrove forest then? By having a walking path that looks like a low bridge through the mangrove forest :) That's the most convenient and fun way to roam and observe the mangrove forest. 

There are many walking paths and low wooden bridges spread out in Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk. You can walk around freely and take as many pictures as you want. Unfortunately, you have to pay an extra ticket for any pocket camera, GoPro, and DSLR camera you bring. 

There are some places where the water is deep enough for boats. That's where you can rent a canoe, pedal boat, or motorboat. Unfortunately, the rental price is expensive. 

For Rp. 100,000 you can contribute to conserving the mangrove forest by planting a mangrove. Don't forget to bring spare clothes, because you have to dip deep into the swamp! For an additional charge, you even can put your name beside the mangrove tree you plant.

Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk is also a home for many species of birds. Some of the birds are Belekok (Javan Pond Heron, Ardeola speciosa), White-Bellied Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster), Sunda Teal (Anas Gibberifrons or Itik Benjut in Bahasa Indonesia), etc. Most of them are endangered species. 

Other animals you might spot are some Asian water monitors (Varanus salvator or biawak air in Bahasa Indonesia). But the fish and scorpion mud lobster (Thalassina anomala or udang bakau in Bahasa Indonesia) are more difficult to find.
