Saleh Bay is a vast, sheltered inlet surrounded by Sumbawa’s volcanic landscapes and rich in marine biodiversity. The bay is occasionally visited by whale sharks, and you could be lucky enough to see them. However, sightings are seasonal and not guaranteed, as they depend on natural conditions and local fishing activity. Its calm waters and dramatic landscapes nonetheless make it a striking and rewarding natural setting.
A World Heritage-listed site, Komodo Island is famous for its ancient Komodo dragons, rugged savannah landscapes and crystal-clear waters. The island offers a rare combination of wildlife encounters and dramatic natural beauty.
