Day 3: Bima Region Island Hopping - Saleh Bay

• Your day begins with a delicious breakfast (included) at your hotel before your guide accompanies you on another day full of impressions. While yesterday's tour focussed more on the local culture, today's excursion is all about natural wonders. Don't forget your snorkelling gear!
• The first stage of your journey takes around 30 to 40 minutes. It takes you from Kalimaya to the famous Pink Beach. You will first travel by car and then by boat to the north-eastern end of Sumbawa. Of course, you'll have both for yourself. The Pink Beach is surrounded by hills and the light red grains of sand are very fine. The gradation between the pink sand, the clear blue sea water and the green hills creates a very exotic panorama. And the underwater panorama is no less interesting. If you would like to explore the underwater world, you can go snorkelling here at Pink Beach. You have plenty of time before heading to the next stop on today's tour. Continuing towards East Sumbawa, you will reach Coconut Island. The route to the island leads through the Sape Straits, which can have choppy waves depending on the weather. On arrival at Coconut Island, however, you will be rewarded with an idyllic landscape and panoramic views of the island world around you.
• Go underwater exploring with your snorkelling equipment or use the time to relax and read or simply enjoy the scenery around you.
• Your lunch (included) will be served here on Coconut Island in the form of a small barbecue on the beach. Please let us know in advance if you don't like fish. In this case we would arrange a lunch box for you, which we would bring from the mainland.
• Today's last stop will take you to Tanjung Meriam. This enchanting gem, also known as ‘Cannon Bay’, is tucked away in a charming hidden little fishing village in the east of Sumbawa. This stunning natural wonder is just a short boat ride away from Sape and is one of the special highlights on the island of Sumbawa.
• Be mesmerised as you enter the 3.62-hectare breathtaking landscape decorated with massive hexagonal basalt columns (columnar joints) that stretch out before you for as far as your eye can see. These majestic formations, created by the forces of nature, form a symphony of geometric perfection against the backdrop of the ocean. The rocks around this beach are formed from volcanic magma that has cooled and hardened with or without the crystallisation process below and above the surface.
• We are sure that a sense of wonder and inner peace will accompany you as you walk through this natural wonder.
