Only in a few places on the planet can you swim alongside a whale shark. Sumbawa is one of them. Spend a few days exploring the coast of Sumbawa — one of the least studied islands in Indonesia. This is the kind of place that feels like stepping into a documentary about lost civilizations. The most discerning travelers come here to experience one of the rarest and most vivid adventures in life — swimming alongside whale sharks in the Indian Ocean. These giant yet completely harmless creatures can only be seen in remote corners of the planet, and Sumbawa is one of them.

In a short time, you will witness more landscapes than you would during a typical week-long vacation. The tour program is designed to help you get the most out of your experience. For those who dream of falling asleep on a deck under a starry sky in the middle of the ocean, there is a two-day trip option with an overnight stay on a boat. For those who prefer to explore from land, there is a three-day tour with hotel accommodation and an excursion to Moyo Island. You will visit the picturesque multi-tiered Mata Jitu waterfall with natural pools nestled in the tropical forest and stroll through an ancient village where locals still live disconnected from the outside world, just as they did centuries ago. Snorkeling with whale sharks at dawn will be the highlight activity in both trip options.

A journey to Sumbawa is perfect for those seeking an unconventional tour of Indonesia. It’s a short but intense trip where every detail is carefully planned: itinerary, meals, and a reliable team. We take care of all the arrangements — all you have to do is choose the format that suits you and give yourself the adventure you’ve always postponed “for later.”
