Ecotourism, as a crucial form of alternative tourism, is gov-erned by core principles that must be met to ensure its validity and sustainability. This concern is particularly relevant as numerous destinations are merely branded as ecotourism sites, yet their adherence to and imple-mentation of the ecotourism principles remain suboptimal. This study focuses on analyzing the implementation of ecotourism principles by both the management and the visitors of the Batulumbang Mangrove Ecotourism in Denpasar City. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the diverse range of ecotourism activities offered to tourists. Ba-tulumbang Mangrove Ecotourism represents a unique destination centered on Mangrove Conservation, Mud Crab Cultivation, and Coastal Tourism Attractions with an educational basis. The results showed that ecotourism had a positive influence by creating alternative sources of income through activities such as tour guiding and Mangrove strolling management. In addition, community involvement in decision-making has also increased. However, challenges still exist, such as limited human resources and waste problems from the river. The con-clusion of this research is that Batu Lumbang Mangrove Ecotourism has supported the creation of sustainable tourism in terms of social, economic and environmental aspects. Therefore, suggestions include improving the quality of human resources, involving the younger generation, and real support from the government and the private sector to strengthen the sustainability of this area in the future.
