Nihi Sumba trip, 7 days and 6 nights

Four nights in the West, then two in the East. Fly into Tambolaka and out of Waingapu, so no day is spent retracing the island.

In short

Seven days is the shortest route that reaches East Sumba properly — because it crosses the island once, on an open-jaw ticket, rather than driving back.

  • Two bases, West and East
  • Open jaw: TMC in, WGP out
  • No day lost to backtracking

    Day 1 · Arrive Tambolaka

    Land at TMC, private transfer to the coast. Nothing else scheduled.

How 7D6N is priced

There is no published band for this length, so there is none on this page. Here is what moves the number instead.

  • Group size

    The single biggest lever. Per-person cost falls steadily to eight, then rises again when a second car is needed.

  • Routing and flights

    Open-jaw and two-base routes carry transfer costs a single-base trip does not.

  • Where you sleep

    Standard hotels are inside the quote. NIHI Sumba, Lelewatu and Cap Karoso are quoted separately, on confirmation.

The published rate card covers 4D3N, 5D4N and 6D5N — every figure dated and sourced. See it here: /nihi-sumba-trip-cost/
