Kenawa is a small island near Poto Tano in west Sumbawa. Its coastal setting and open island landscapes make it a different kind of stop from the forests and inland destinations.

Plan the crossing

Confirm local boat arrangements, sea conditions and what to bring. Shade and facilities may be limited; ask about water, sun protection and the practical details of your visit.

A place to leave as you found it

Bring your litter back, respect local guidance and avoid disturbing the coastline. Any swimming or snorkeling depends on local conditions and suitable supervision.
