From the megalithic villages of Kodi to river swims in Weekacura, from towering thatched roofs to the blue brilliance of Weekuri Lagoon, every moment on this tour tells the story of Sumba’s soul. Your trip begins with a warm welcome at Tambolaka Airport in West Sumba. Within hours, you’ll find yourself standing above a serene turquoise lagoon surrounded by rugged limestone cliffs. This is Weekuri Lagoon, a natural marvel where you’re invited to take a dip and float in the calm, sea-fed water while soaking up panoramic cliffside views. Nearby, Mandorak Beach greets you with white sands and wind-sculpted reef cliffs—an untouched paradise where lunch is served under the open sky. In the afternoon, you’ll delve into Sumba’s cultural core at Ratenggaro Village, where traditional peaked-roof homes and towering stone tombs offer insight into the island’s deep animist traditions and clan systems. The village is a living heritage site with friendly locals and stunning seascapes just beyond. The day ends at Pero Beach, an untouched stretch of coastline perfect for watching the fiery sun dip into the Indian Ocean. Day two immerses you in Sumba’s rural heartland, beginning with a visit to Waikelo Sawah, where water flows from a sacred cave and nourishes the surrounding rice fields. A short trek leads you to Weekacura River, a serene waterway perfect for relaxing and swimming in the midst of lush greenery. You’ll enjoy a peaceful lunch in Waikabubak before traveling to Praiijing Village, an iconic Sumbanese village perched on a hilltop. Here, you can engage with friendly locals, photograph their tall thatched homes, and take in sweeping views of the rolling countryside. The adventure continues south into Lamboya District, where the dramatic coastline reveals hidden gems like Marosi and Watubela Beaches—long stretches of quiet sand flanked by hills and wave-battered cliffs.
