Fatos rápidos: Kanawa Island holds a coral reef ecosystem hosting over 90 species of fish and vibrant sea turtles frequently seen by snorkelers. The island spans roughly 7 hectares, offering a peaceful retreat from the busier Labuan Bajo harbor area.
Destaques: Bioluminescent plankton light up the waters along the island's shore after sunset, creating a glowing spectacle underfoot. An underwater cave near the northern beach invites curious divers to explore a unique marine habitat rarely found in nearby islands.
