The choice is yours!East Sumba (Waingapu Airport)East Sumba is known for its nature from neverending hills, the dancing tree, and hidden waterfalls.Day 1: Waingapu, Traditional Market, Prailiu VillageDay 2: Bukit Tanarara, Rende Village, Waimarang waterfall, Walakiri BeachDay 3: Praintang, Tenggedu Waterfall, Tenau HillDay 4: Purukambera Savannah, Watuparunu Beach, Crossing to West SumbaWest Sumba (Tambolaka Airport)West Sumba is known for its gorgeous resorts and traditional villages.Day 1: Praijing Village, Lapopu Waterfall, Waitabar VillageDay 2: Ratenggaro, Mandorak, Weekuri Lake/LagoonDay 3: Wairinding Hill, Wanokaka Beach, Lendongara HillEast-West Sumba (6 Days) Day 1: Fly from Bali to Sumba - Rende VillageDay 2: Palindi Piarakuku Hills - Waimarang Waterfall - Walakiri BeachDay 3: Tanggedu Waterfall - Wairinding HillDay 4: Lapopu Waterfall - Prai Ijing VillageDay 5: Weekuri Lagoon - Ratenggaro Village - Mandorak BeachDay 6: Wee Kacura WaterfallIn a hurry? We think it's best to take 6 days to cross the Island, but if you are very short on time, 4 days is possible:Day 1: Fly from Bali to Tambulaka Sumba: Visit Ratenggo Village - Mandorak Beach and Weekury LagoonDay 2: Prai Ijing Traditional Village - Prainatang Traditional Village - Tanggedu WaterfallDay 3: Pau Dan Rende Village - pass through Melolo - Waimarang Waterfal - Walakiri Beach (Dancing Trees!)Day 4: Drive through Waingapu - Airport for return flight to BaliImportant NotesOur car and driver hire service is available on a per-day basis.Daily adventures typically begin at 8 AM and end by 7 PM due to limited visibility after dark. It's not safe in Sumba to drive after dark.Even though most itineraries online start from West Sumba, we'd recommend going from East to West Sumba. East Sumba is basically where the more rustic nature is, and West Sumba is where the glam resorts are. By going from East to West, you'll end off your trip with the nicer accommodations.
