Sumba is one of Indonesia's most culturally rich and visually dramatic islands — a place where horses roam wild savannas, ancient megalithic tombs dot the hilltops, and traditional villages preserve ceremonies unchanged for centuries. Horse riding across Sumba's sweeping grasslands and coastal clifftops is one of the island's most iconic experiences, combining breathtaking natural scenery with Sumba's deep equestrian heritage. Pair a morning ride with a guided tour through a traditional Sumbanese village, where you can observe marapu ancestral rituals, admire hand-woven ikat textiles, and meet village elders. The island's luxury eco-resorts facilitate private cultural tours and riding excursions tailored to each guest. Arrive by seaplane for a scenic introduction to this extraordinary island.

Teluk Saleh (Saleh Bay) in Sumbawa is one of the only places on earth where you can reliably swim with whale sharks in their natural environment — a once-in-a-lifetime encounter that draws marine wildlife enthusiasts from around the world. Each morning, whale sharks gather near the fishing nets of local fishermen at the bay, creating a predictable and extraordinary opportunity to enter the water and observe these gentle giants at close range. Guided half-day tours depart from the bay by local boat, with experienced naturalist guides to brief you on responsible wildlife interaction. The best months are April through November. Combine with a seaplane arrival to Sumbawa for a smooth, scenic journey to one of Indonesia's most remarkable marine experiences.

Lakey Peak, on Sumbawa's southern coast near Hu'u, is one of Indonesia's premier surf destinations and a magnet for wave riders who know where to look. A cluster of world-class breaks — including Lakey Peak, Lakey Pipe, Nungas, and Periscopes — offers everything from powerful barrels to fun longboard waves, making it accessible to intermediate and advanced surfers alike. Unlike the more crowded breaks of Bali and Lombok, Lakey delivers uncrowded lineups with consistent swells from April through October. Local surf camps and board hire operate along the beachfront. A seaplane transfer to Sumbawa provides a fast and scenic approach to this still-undiscovered corner of Indonesia's surf archipelago.

Deep in the protected nature reserve of Moyo Island, the Mata Jitu Waterfall rewards those who venture through lush tropical rainforest and past cashew fruit plantations with a staggered cascade of four distinct falls and seven crystal-clear swimming pools. The one-hour guided hike from Labuan Aji village winds through dense jungle trails alive with birdsong and wildlife, emerging at one of Indonesia's most beautiful hidden waterfalls. Famed as a retreat favoured by luminaries including Princess Diana and Mick Jagger, Moyo Island's secluded beauty has long attracted those in the know. Arrive by seaplane directly to Sumbawa and take a short boat crossing to the island for the perfect remote adventure.

Moyo Island's pristine marine park offers some of the finest and least-explored diving in all of Indonesia. Roctopus Dive, a certified PADI dive centre located on the island's beachfront, runs guided dives across seven distinct sites including the Sumbawa Wall, Angle Reef, and Tanjung Menangis. Expect vibrant technicolor coral gardens, manta rays, white-tip reef sharks, blue-ringed octopus, moray eels, and sea turtles in near-untouched conditions. Snorkellers can wade directly from the beach into crystal-clear shallows teeming with tropical reef fish. The entire south and east coastline of Moyo was designated a Marine Park in 1986. Combine your dive trip with a seaplane transfer for the most seamless possible approach to this extraordinary island.

The Kawah Ijen volcano on the border of Banyuwangi and Bondowoso is home to one of the world's most surreal natural phenomena — the electric-blue sulphuric flames that blaze from the crater's fumaroles during the pre-dawn hours. The trek to the crater rim begins around midnight, passing through a dense forest reserve and volcanic ridgeline before descending into the caldera to witness the ethereal blue fire at close range. As dawn breaks, the turquoise sulphuric lake and surrounding crater walls reveal themselves in stunning detail. The total return hike is approximately 6 km. Guided night treks are arranged from Banyuwangi, with seaplane transfer from Bali cutting the journey to minutes. A truly bucket-list experience in East Java.
