Sumbawa
Nestled in the West Lesser Sunda Islands between Lombok and Komodo, Sumbawa sits in the heart of the ‘Ring of Fire’. Known as a haven for avid surfers, legendary surf breaks such as Lakey Peak are frequented by pro surfers.
The main island of Sumbawa is dominated by a string of majestic volcanoes, with the highest peak being Mount Tambora. Volcanic activity has created a dramatic landscape with deep valleys, steep cliffs, and rocky shorelines at the northern part. The scenery is one of lush green tropical islands and majestic volcanoes.
If you would like a truly authentic experience of local culture combined with a surf or dive trip, then Sumbawa is for you.
