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.
