The combination among color of the sky, ocean waves, sands, and the activities of people in Indonesia Exotic Tours of Nias island become such a beautiful panorama that ask anyone to stay for long. On the Nias island beach, a tourist is in concentration demonstrating the yoga movements. The fresh sea breeze help the thourist relieve tired after a long journey.

That is a bit of beauty of Moale Beach, South Nias island. Moale beach, Sorake beach are place of 14 beautiful beaches on the  Exotic Tours of Nias island. This beach has a coastline that is straight and long. For tourists, this beach becomes an object that must be visited. It is about two-hour overland trip from Teluk Dalam, South Nias regency capital, or about three hours drive from Mount Sitoli, Nias Induk. There are some cafes and small cottage with a capacity of six to eight people to just sit around enjoying the beautiful sea.

Beaches in West Nias are also interesting, precisely at the Village/District Sirombu, West Nias. In the evening, travelers may enjoy watching the shepherds herd their cows to come home and pass the beach. The view was so unique when the cows were running marched on the sand beach, while the roaring sound legs collide with the sound of the endless ocean waves aside.

Tourists may also visit the Afulu in North Nias. Besides white sand beaches, this beach also presents the beauty of red sand. People in North Nias believe a fairy tale about a giant evil dragon that was killed by the hands of a powerful warrior. The dragon's blood flew to the sea and caused a red color along the coast.

Cultural Tourism
Boring with the natural beauty, tourists may enjoy Indonesia Tours of Nias island cultural tourism that is still very well-maintained, especially in South Nias. Indigenous villages, megalithic sites (large stone), as well as the surrounding story is very interesting. Without visiting these places, stories about the greatness of megaliths or the uniqueness of indigenous villages was bland.

Try to visit the megalithic sites in the village of Lahusa Idano Tae, District Gomo. The giant sized stones record the cultural history of how the ancient civilization of Nias residents behave. Noble values and local wisdom eternally recorded among the andesite rocks. "The stones proof how our great great grandfather tried and fight for dignity," said Gustav Atoli aka Ama, traditional leaders in the village of Tae Idano Lahusa.

Watching the tons weight stones with a height of up to 1.5 meters, we can imagine how the Nias Tribe carve, organize, and picked it up. "I myself still can not imagine," said Ama Gustav who is believed to be the 11th generation of the first generation of Nias tribe. Megaliths sites in the village of Bawomataluo Orahili Fau, District of Teluk Dalam, are so well maintained and are still conducted for traditional ceremonies.

Almost every house in the courtyard, there is a large rock with 1.5 meters length, width of 1 meter, 20 centimeters thick. Some of them are slightly smaller size. There is other Nias ancestral heritage of megaliths that is located in the Village Ulayama, District Lolowa'u, and Onolimbu, West Nias.

Especially in the village Bawomataluo, tourist can enjoy the show of War Dance (Baluse) and the stone jumping (hombo batu), the two very famous Nias traditions. These two traditions are now often exhibited specific to entertain the tourists. The attractiveness of Nias cultural and natural beauty is endless although once damaged by the tsunami. From the north to the south, Nias Island presents the beauty that is hard to find elsewhere in the world.
