Trip Highlights

Immerse in Sumba culture as you visit the traditional Ratenggaro and Prai Ijing villages – uncover the secret of the high thatched roofs, play traditional games, learn dances and take part in local farming activities.
Make more impact while you travel – support a local restaurant that trains youth in the community in hospitality, then join an ikat-weaving workshop that supports women to escape domestic violence.
Take in the rolling savanna landscapes at Wairinding Hill and encounter the wild horses – Sumba sandalwood ponies – that roam freely.
Hike to Tanggedu Waterfall, dive into the turquoise waters of Waikuri Lagoon and soak your worries away in the Waikelo natural spring.
Enjoy island time and soak up all the free moments you have to relax by the pool, lounge on white-sand beaches and watch epic sunsets (cocktail, anyone?).
