In short
Every Sumba trip we run crosses the island in one direction. You land at Tambolaka in the south west at midday and fly out of Waingapu in the east on the final morning, so no drive is repeated.
- 4D3N: one night in South West Sumba, two in the east. Eleven destinations.
- 5D4N: one night in the west, three in the east. Fourteen destinations.
- 6D5N: two nights in the west, three in the east. All eighteen.
- The open trip runs the 4D3N route exactly, on fixed Thursday departures.
