Here you will witness local cultural attractions that have some combination of Javanese and Mongol culture. You need to know that the culture of Tomia Island is a culture that originated from the Kingdom/Sultanate of Buton (Baubau) which has a combination of several cultures, but the most influential in Buton culture is a culture introduced by Mongols and Javanese people who have come and lived on Buton Island (Baubau) in the kingdom. You can see this through a number of aspects such as the model and style of dress that are the same as the traditional Mongolian clothes. While from the cultural aspect of the community Tomia Island is still influenced by customs and cultures originating from ancient Java (Hindi-Sanskrit), such as the local language used and local wisdom applied.

Beach: If you like the beach atmosphere, I will invite you to visit some of the beaches on Tomia Island by motorbike. For the beaches on Tomia Island it is still very natural because it is not always enlivened by visitors and tourists and the distance is very far from the local community. Here you will swim or snorkeling and hang out on the beach that has clean white sand or relax with a quiet and calm atmosphere.

Sawa Island is a land of sand that is only covered by coconut trees and several other sand plants. Sawa Island is surrounded by extensive sand and white and surrounded by diving / snorkeling sites that are very well known by international tourists. Here we will do camping for several nights with the concept of natural life. We have tents that I have prepared and various other supporting facilities. But before we go to Sawa Island, we will do snorkeling activities at several dive sites.
