At the southeastern tip of Java, Meru Betiri National Park has a superb rain forest (leeches included), but visitor numbers remain very low because of primitive accommodations and difficulty of access.
The park is reputed as the last refuge of the near-extinct Java tiger, although no evidence of the cat has been seen since the late 1990s. The park's excellent turtle conservation programs are certainly worth a look.
Grajagan Bay is a great place for surfing, but challenging to reach overland. https://merubetiri.id.
