Upon arrival at the airport of Tambolaka in Waitabula, meet and greet with your driver and guide, the Explore Sumba Team. Before starting our journey, we will go to the local restaurant for lunch first. After that, we will visit Rumah Budaya Sumba (Sumba’s cultural house). This is a good place to start, a place where you can learn about the island. It was built in the style of a traditional Sumbanese house, and the surrounding grounds are dotted with Marapu stone carvings. Among other artifacts, the collection includes ikat, stone and wood carvings, traditional jewelry, and a handful of everyday items you can find here. Next, we go to the Talasi Estate Factory, where you can find the locals producing Sumbanese cashew and coffee. They will also take you to explore their farm and connect with the Talasi community and farmers. You will also get a chance to taste the cashew milk and weejewa coffee, which are produced directly by the farmers here. Then check in at your hotel and take a bit of a break until the perfect time to catch the beautiful sunset on Lendongara Hill. In the quiet place where you can sit and relax while enjoying the stunning hill view, the ocean view from a distance, as well as the panorama of the villages. After the sunset, we go back to the hotel.
