Is NIHI Sumba included in these rates?

No. The land rate covers standard hotels. NIHI Sumba, Lelewatu and Cap Karoso are quoted by the hotel and added on confirmation — we never publish a resort rate we cannot stand behind.

Why is there no price for 3D2N, 7D6N or 8D7N?

The rate card publishes three lengths. The others move too much with routing and flights for a band to be honest, so we quote them in writing instead.

Are flights included?

No. Flights to Tambolaka or Waingapu are booked by you, or by us on request, and sit outside the land rate.

Does the price change by season?

The land rate does not. Resort rates and flights do. That is covered on the cheapest season page.

What does twin share mean?

Two people to a room. A single room is quoted separately as a supplement.

What a Nihi Sumba trip actually costs

The published land rates, what sits inside them, and the handful of things that move the number. Resort nights are quoted by the hotel, never by us.

Ask the desk

A Sumba land package starts from US$390 per person, and the figure moves with the length of the trip and the size of the group. The resort night is not inside it and never has been.

The three lengths with a rate card

Each figure is the published floor, reached at eight travellers. Smaller groups pay more per person because the car is shared fewer ways — we quote your exact number in writing.

4D3N

Start from USD390

per person

Three nights, West Sumba and Kodi.

Most booked

5D4N

Start from USD490

per person

Four nights. The shortest length that does not feel rushed.

6D5N

Start from USD570

per person

Five nights, adding the centre of the island.

Per person, twin share, flights excluded. Source: indonesiajuara.asia private trip rate card, as of 2025. That card prices the operator's own Southwest-to-East route, which changes hotel and flies out of Waingapu — it is the published benchmark we quote against, not the one-base itinerary on this page. A NIHI-based trip is quoted separately, in writing. Seven and eight day routes are quoted the same way, because open-jaw routing moves the cost too much for a band to be honest.
