Worth to visit island
Moyo Island is located close to Sumbawa. To go there you’ve to cross by public boat from Labuan Badas (local tourist one way IDR 50k, foreigners IDR 100k). The island is famous because of its waterfall called Mata Jitu which has been visited by Lady Diana. You can visit Mata Jitu and Dwi Mba’i waterfall with ojek cost of IDR 100K. There are options of accommodation with Amanwana at the top since it’s a group of Aman. However I was staying in Iman Jaya Homestay owned by local, Pak Beta (he also owns public boat) with cost of IDR 250K including breakfast. The homestay is clean, cheap with private bathroom and owner is very friendly. Food provided tasted good. The island itself is unique and surrounded by beautiful beaches like Poto Jarum, Crocodile Head. You can also rent a boat to go to Satonda Island and visit The famous salty lake.

Well worth a visit.
Visited Moyo by launch from Kencana Beach - 45 - 50 minute trip. Spent a day walking through the jungle and swimming at two waterfalls. Lots of fun. Rope swings. Really clean too. The islanders do a great job ensuring that the area is rubbish free. It's rare to find tourist spots in such pristine condition. At the end of the day had a few drinks in the bar at Sunset Moyo Bungalows which was a fine way to pull down the curtain. The bungalows look great. I would definitely like to stay there overnight.
