This area is a popular liveaboard dive boat stop, especially in the evenings because there's a nice trail to head up to watch the sunset. It is also a scuba site called the Golden Passage that traverses the cut. It is a beautiful spot with clear, colorful water, good snorkeling, a beach with lots of trash and a few trails on the island that offer spectacular views in all directions. Unlike Komodo Island, this island has no dragons so hiking is OK. There are two moorings and anchoring is not allowed- see sign on shore. Even though this is a popular spot, it can also be empty for hours and moorings can go unused overnight. We were here alone. There is another mooring around the corner to the north on the west side of Gili Lawa Darat (through the pass).


If you can't find a free mooring, it is easy enough to anchor in Loh Gebah Bay(or pick up one of 2 moorings there) and dinghy over. You can also ask to raft up to one of the Phinisi boats.

Features
  • There is a litter strewn beach here, popular with evening liveaboard dive boats.
  • Good service here from a tower on Komodo Island
  • Nice walking on trails- komodo free!
