Cruising Sumbawa

Cruising Sumbawa and Moyo Island is a popular choice to combine with other destinations. Located between the islands of Komodo to the east and Lombok to the west. Sumbawa Island is situated in the heart of the Ring of Fire. Sumbawa’s diverse topography features towering active volcanoes, lush forests, mountain ranges, and dry savannah lowlands.

Discover Moyo Island

Remote, authentic and raw describe Moyo Island best. It is a hidden paradise still unknown to the majority of tourists. A trip to Moyo Island takes the traveller on an adventure. Spectacular flora and fauna, provide an escape from reality. Man and nature still blend in harmony in that faraway land. The island on the north coast of Sumbawa is only inhabited by around 1,000 people in six villages. The people live off the land and sea. The outer reefs of Labuan Haij are packed with sponges and corals and a multitude of colourful reef fish inhabits these reefs. The visibility is usually very high, so watch out in the blue for hunting pelagic and reef sharks.

Moyo Island DIving and Snorkeling

Diving at Moyo Island is commonly underrated. It is mistakenly considered as just a convenient port of call during dive liveaboards that set sail for the better dive sites further to the east. But Sumbawa offers excellent dive sites as well. It has its own large schools of reef fish and pelagics. Dive sites include Car Park, the Tractor Wreck, Muck diving sites in the Bima inlet and of course – the atoll reefs around Sumbawa’s hidden gem – Moyo Island.
