More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the speedboat onto a small harbor and the island’s wind meets you first — warm, salty, and steady. The day unfolds along an eastern coastline of sheer limestone cliffs and narrow stairways carved into the rock, where Diamond Beach and Atuh Beach open like windows onto a restless Indian Ocean. Photographers queue at the Rumah Pohon tree house and the Thousand Islands viewpoint for the clean, vertical lines of cliffs dropping into turquoise surf.
