Wonderful Probolinggo

Gili Ketapang Island is a small island located between the islands of Java and Madura. The island is located 5 miles in the middle of the sea from the Port of Tanjung Tembaga Probolinggo. Unfortunately for now there is no connecting bridge connecting the two islands. In addition, there are still no passenger ships operating in the area.
