5 Days Sumba Tour Itinerary

Day 1 : TAMBOLAKA AIRPORT – WATU MALADONG – BWANNA BEACH (L, D)

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be picked up and welcomed by us. The first activity on the Island will be to Watu Maladong, the beach where you can have a look at the enormous big rocks in the middle of the sea. It gives you slightly the feeling that you are in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Because of the big rocks magically coming out of the water. After this, we will continue our journey and we will explore Bwanna beach. Before you arrive there, you have to drive on a sandy road that guides you through a massive field of high grass, which gives a very adventurous feeling. First, we will stop at the viewing point where you can view Watu Maladong and Bwanna Beach. The beach of Bwanna is a long clear colorful sand beach under the majestic cliff heading to the Indian Ocean makes this place extraordinary. Whilst its beauty is unquestionable, the beach is still unknown by most tourists, which makes it almost private and very clean. Later on, we climb down to the beach where the big arc is located. The climb is very steep, so you have to be careful! But once you are there, you will be standing on one of the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia.

Day 2 : RATENGGARO-WEEKURI LAKE – MANDORAK (B, L, D)

After waking up and getting ready for a new day of exploring, you will be picked up at your hotel and we will be heading to Ratenggaro village where you can meet the locals, their native culture, and see the traditional Sumbanese houses.

You can take a dive to experience the blue and clear water of Weekuri and also for a possible cooling down. After that you are all dried up, we will continue our journey to Mandorak Beach which is very close to Weekuri Lake. The beach provides a great and peaceful stay with nice spots.
