Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Airport - Bwanna Beach - Watu Molong
Arrival at the airport, picked up and welcomed! 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 which guides you through a massive field of high grass. The beach of Bwanna is a long clear colorful sandy beach under a majestic cliff looking towards the Indian Ocean. Whilst the beauty is unquestionable, the beach is still unknown by most tourist, it makes it very private and very clean.
Accommodation : Hotel in South West Sumba
Day 2: Beach Viewpoints - Ratenggaro Village - The Salty Lake
After waking up and getting ready for a new day of exploring, you will be picked up at your hotel and you will be heading to Ratenggaro Village. Here you will be able to meet the locals, learn about their own culture and see the traditional Sumbanese Houses. The village is built near a beach which you can visit when you are there. You will have a nice view of the village while standing on the beach. You can see the peaks of the houses on the higher ground.
After the village, visit Weekuri Lake. This lake is a salt water lake at the south-west of Sumba. You can take a dive to experience the blue and clear water of Weekuri.
Continue the journey to Mandorak Beach which is very close to Weekuri Lake. The beach will provide a great and peaceful stay with nice spots. The big opening between two rock ridges will let the clear blue water pass through the beach and also let you look far into the ocean. When you are there, you can also take the higher ground which will give a view of the coastline and the rocky cliffs where you can watch the sunset.
