About Sumbawa Island

Sumbawa covers 5,951 square miles (15,414 kilometers) and is home to the Mount Tambora volcano, whose 1815 eruption was the largest recorded in human history. The island is divided between two distinct ethnic groups: the Sumbawa and Bima people, each with their own languages and cultural traditions. Traditional horse breeding and honey collection remain important cultural practices, while the island's perfect waves attract surfers to locations like Lakey Peak.
