Kanawa Halal Travel Guide

Kanawa is a lovely little island at the edge of world famous Komodo National Park. It's probably the best way to enjoy the national park, since it is a few minutes away by boat, offering tours, diving, food and lodging on pristine white sand beaches.

The island is fully surrounded by an untouched coral reef where turtles, sharks, mantas and thousands of other sea creatures live.

History

The island used to belong to a local from the nearby fisherman village of Pulau Mesah. In 2010 and the island was purchased by a group of Europeans (Italian, Dutch, Spanish) who are taking care of it, keeping it as a simple place for travelers, offering tours and diving and creating a conservation program which includes a turtle sanctuary, no-fishing zone on the reef, English and environmental education classes at local schools, and use of green energy.

How is the Landscape of Kanawa

The area of the island is about 30 hectares, with two main beaches, one on purpose kept at natural status. In the centre of the island, a beautiful hill provides spectacular views all over the national park.

Flora and fauna

On the island there is the typical vegetation of the Komodo National Park, very green in rainy season and quite dry in summer. Palm trees have been planted together with some bananas, papaya and other fruit trees. There are tame goats, deer, cats and dogs. The water is rich with coral and fish. The diving and snorkeling on the reef is considered among the best in the world.

How is the Climate in Kanawa

Monsoon period is from January to March, and the best period to visit is September-November. July and August are crowded. In front of the island there are never waves even in rainy season, as the coral barrier protects the beach area.
