Searching for the perfect tropical escape with pristine beaches, vibrant marine life, and breathtaking views? Kanawa Island, Sumbawa, is the answer – one of the most scenic stops on Golden Island Cruises’ Lombok to Labuan Bajo cruise. This untouched paradise is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking snorkeling, relaxation, and unforgettable island scenery.
Where is Kanawa Island?
Located on the East of Komodo National Park, Kanawa Island is a small yet stunning island in Sumbawa that offers a tranquil retreat away from the crowds. With its powdery white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and colorful coral reefs, it is a dream destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Don’t forget to bring your cameras to capture its picturesque surroundings.
And guess what? There are actually two Kanawa Islands! One is on the east of Komodo National Park, and the other is on the east of Lombok Island! Both are stunning in their own way, and they offer unique views and experiences during your island-hopping adventure between Komodo and Lombok.
Why Visit Kanawa Island?
1. World-Class Snorkeling & Diving
Kanawa Island is surrounded by thriving coral reefs (be careful where you walk when frolicking in the sea!), making it a top spot for snorkeling and diving in Sumbawa. The shallow waters are home to clownfish, parrotfish, sea turtles, and even reef sharks, offering an underwater experience like no other.
2. Pristine Beaches & Breathtaking Views
If you’re looking for a place to unwind, Kanawa’s secluded beaches provide the perfect setting to relax under the sun. Take a short hike to the island’s viewpoint and enjoy panoramic views of the Komodo National Park, the Flores Sea, and nearby islands. You will never get tired of views like these!
