The place offers a fascinating beach view that ranks number 17 among 100 most beautiful beaches in the world. Tourists can experience several activities such as snorkeling, diving, fishing, boat riding, and so on during their visit in Nihiwatu. Tourists can also immerse themselves with the local family, visit the village’s traditional market, or help farmers pick crops, hike in the jungle, and ride bicycles in the countryside. Nihiwatu is prominent among surfers.

The two- to three meters- high waves lure professional surfers to challenge their skills. In fact, Nihiwatu is also known as Occi’s left or God’s left. a place that has attractive waves for surfing.

Nevertheless, the beauty of Nihiwatu is worth a king’s ransom at least to the extent of transportation and accommodation. You can visit Nihiwatu by air or by land. If you decide to travel by air, you need to reach Tambolaka airport, you can use a plane which departs from Ngurah Rai airport in Bali. Afterwards, you can continue the journey by renting a car for 90 minutes and the cost is approximately Rp. 400,000,- to Rp.650,000,- per day. If road trip is your choice, you may start your journey from Gilimanuk harbor, Bali, to Waikato harbor in South West Sumba.

Based on the transportation illustration it is clear that traveling to Nihiwatu is costly whether you use air travel or road trip. Nihiwatu may also not be affordable in terms of accommodation.
