The national park consists of mountainous regions as well as mangrove forests, lowland rainforests, savannahs, seagrass landscapes, coral reefs, sandy beaches, and shallow and deep sea waters and therefore offers an enormous diversity of endemic flora and fauna.

The park is surrounded by six villages that are characterized by the mixture of diverse ethnic cultures (Balinese, Javanese, Madur, and Bugis).

The residents of these villages are actively involved in the protection of the national park.
