About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower people to experience the adventure of life, while supporting conservation and communities in the buffer zone of Ujung Kulon National Park.

Who We Are

DFC Adventure is a nature lover community operating in Ujungjaya village, Pandeglang, Banten. We organize community-based ecotourism activities involving local communities living in villages around the buffer zone of Ujung Kulon National Park. One of our main strategies is to empower youth and women through environmental and cultural tourism activities and to raise public awareness about environmental conservation.

What We Do

We work with rural communities to support local guides, helping to connect them with off-the-beaten-track adventurers seeking authentic jungle trekking, diving, fishing and cultural experiences in the buffer zone of Ujung Kulon National Park. We strongly believe that community-based ecotourism can help protect Ujung Kulon’s pristine forests and wildlife, while helping to improve the quality of life for the people living on the edge of the forest.
