Surabaya is a port city with a working mangrove belt. The Wonorejo and Gunung Anyar mangroves on the east coast have long-tailed macaques, water monitors, mudskippers, fiddler crabs and roosting herons, and brahminy kites patrol the Madura Strait beside the Suramadu bridge. In the streets, Javan mynas, tree sparrows, house and tokay geckos are the daily captures. Surabaya Zoo, one of the oldest in the country, is known for its Komodo dragon breeding group.
Indonesia's second city is not a wildlife destination, but it has one habitat most big cities have lost: several kilometres of intact mangrove along its eastern shore. A boardwalk and boat trip at Wonorejo puts you among monkeys, monitors and herons within sight of apartment towers.
The rest of Surabaya's wildlife is the honest urban kind, mynas on wires, geckos on walls, spiders in corners, and the city logs those in numbers. This page shows how to turn an afternoon in the mangroves and a zoo visit into a real list.
Kenapa lokasi ini penting
Halaman lokasi yang baik menjelaskan kenapa tempat ini layak dikunjungi, bukan hanya nama-nama yang cocok dimasukkan ke checklist destinasi.
The Wonorejo mangroves are a migratory stopover on the East Asian flyway as well as a nursery for the Madura Strait fishery, and the city has protected them as an ecotourism zone rather than reclaiming them.
Surabaya Zoo has a poor historical reputation but has been reformed under city management, and its Komodo dragon programme is one of the oldest in the world. It is a useful place to see the species outside its islands.

- 03Kenjeran beach at dawn has brahminy kites and fishing boats with gulls and terns following them in.
