[2025 Komodo Attraction] Travel Guide for Kanawa Island (Updated Jul)

The view is really beautiful, the sea is clear, but like most other island destinations the facilities available are also very minimal, haven't been managed properly, it's good it's still natural but yes it would be nice if it could be more good again. This island has a fairly long deck and is a favorite place for photos using drones, only the weather is scorching hot, but for the sake of content we are willing to lie down on the dec.. This island is very beautiful for snorkeling spots, the ornamental fish are also many and easy to lure to go up by feeding them bread. #wecreate

Beautiful place for snorkling and amazing beach - all shades of blue and green. We did a private trip by Kharisma tour and we had all the flexibility with the program for good price. We went also to another great snorkling place - Manjerite. I saw sea snake (black and white) there. The highlight came after sunset - flying foxes! This is incredible and it happens every evening #wecreate

Nusa Tenggara does save many islands with unspoiled natural beauty. One of them is Kanawa Island in West Nusa Tenggara Province. Decorated with white sand and green trees on the beach, the waters around Kanawa Island are still very clear and a paradise for small fish that add to its beauty. #triplocal #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes#beaches

Kanawa island is part of the komodo national park. It is usually the first island that you will stop by if you do the sailing tour. Here it is famous for snorkeling spot and also swimming. You can also eat here since there is a small restaurant #happynewyear #indonesia #happynewyear
