We just returned from a 5D/4N trip to Sumba. What a truly amazing experience it was!

The guide Gilang Boban was very responsive during the planning stages which... read more made the arrangements for the trip very easily done. From the moment we landed at Tambolaka Airport (West Sumba) and departed from Waingapu Airport (East Sumba), everything was well organized. When we wanted to skip some sights and do more at specific locations, Boban was flexible and had the information to help us with our additional activities. He was easy-going and took really good care of us. A much-added bonus was the fact that Boban was just an amazing and talented photographer.

Well-chosen accommodations (we purposefully didn’t want to stay at Nihi at all)... Tasteful and variety of meals that were well planned in advance (food was ready when we arrived at the restaurants)... Breathtaking sights It was an overall fantastic and memorable trip!!

Thank you Explore Sumba. And thank you Boban!

Amazing experience with Explore Sumba - Very good service, super friendly and helpful tour guide.

Thanks a lot for the great service!

Adventure in Sumba - Sumba has been one of our family bucket list, and a friend of ours who went there previous year recommend Explore Sumba IG @explore.sumba to us.

Initially we... read more requested for Gilang Boban IG @gilang_boban as our guide, but he was booked by other group one year in advance. He was a well known photographer and known for milky way hunting.

We got Joko Rahman instead IG @jokorahman90 and he was so fun and knowledgable. Don't be deceived by his seemingly javanese name, he was born and raised in Sumba.

One of the specialization of Joko is getting us ahead of time at thr main attractions so that we can enjoy the place for ourselves before the crowds came in. Thus we got best pictures too.

Overall the kids are so impressed with Waimarang waterfalls and the subwoofer in the Innova.

One thing that surprised us is that the price that they quoted includes meals that the guide with pay as far as it's within budget.

Amazing landscape and view too... must visit!!

Sumba at its best - Had an amazing time at Sumba, best to visit now when it’s still unpopulated with tourist. Had a very good guide Boban, with fantastic photography skills! Just look at our... read more photos! Definitely recommending him to all my friends!

Hi travellers!
This is the first time i come to sumba. I have waited a long time to go to Sumba. Before I came to Sumba I did not... read more read many articles about Sumba, because I wanted to see firsthand the real situation about Sumba. In another sense I want this trip to be impressive, like you watch a movie in a cinema without watching the trailer first. Immediately, before I did not know who our tour guide was in Sumba, because the reservation for the trip was my aunt. And I just found out when I arrived in Sumba, especially at Tambolaka airport, after being explained by our tour guide named Mr. Gilang Boban, I was very impressed with Mr. Boban, in my opinion he is a very good, funny, honest and personal travel guide who is firm but not rigid. I felt this when I was on the way to the destination as specified in the travel package. Like to joke, give jokes, quickly unite with guests (us) always give good advice, know clearly everything about sumba, such as history, natural conditions, etc. That is everything you need when you will explore places that you have never visited. With Mr. Boban, we feel safe during this trip. Because Sumba is a place we have never visited, and local languages ​​are difficult for us to understand, so when some local residents approached us when visiting tourist destinations, Mr. Boban swiftly helped communicate and always gave the best for us, thank you Mr. Boban ! The next impressive thing is the ability to take pictures, capture every moment passed. Besides enjoying the beautiful nature of Sumba, and coupled with very good photos at every moment, making the trip very difficult to forget. I took a 4 day 3 night trip, and it felt like I wanted to be there longer, because I felt very comfortable with this tour. Another thing that supports this, because there are still many tourist objects that have not been visited due to a very short time (maybe we have to go back there haha). Tip my hat for Mr. Boban, because he is a professional tour leader, because, when we were looking for food that we were allowed to eat, Mr. Boban still gave excellent recommendations! Finally, I was very happy with my trip provided by Explore Sumba, everything was very satisfying and beyond my expectations, it cannot be forgotten. On the next opportunity we hope to make a trip back to Explore Sumba, especially with Mr. Gilang Boban. Many Thanks again for a very pleasant, always success, and hopefully all of us are always given health so we can meet in the future.
- the trip will be beautiful if you can enjoy it and be with the right people -
