FAQ

Is the Surfari limited to only 6 people?

Yes, we limit the experience to just 6 surfers. Why? Because we want YOU to have more waves!

Can I hire a surfboard?

Yes, surfboard hire is available. However, we strongly recommend bringing your own.

What's included in the photography package?

The package includes all photos and videos captured by our local Sumbanese photographer. This covers all photo and video footage from your surf sessions, plus lifestyle and land-based shots throughout the trip.

Can I book a private group?

Absolutely! We encourage group bookings and offer special rates:
* 5–6 surfers: 10% discount (private)
* 3–4 surfers: 5% discount (additional surfers may join)


When is the best season to visit Sumba?

The most consistent surf runs from April to October. However, the SouthWest coast of Sumba has waves year-round, and some breaks actually work best in the wet season (October–April).

Do I need to be an advanced surfer?

No. You don’t need to be advanced, but you should be confident and capable of handling yourself in open water.

Are non-surfers welcome?

Yes, non-surfers are welcome to join. Keep in mind, though, that SumbaSurfari is primarily a guided surf experience, meaning the trip involves a lot of time in and around the ocean.

How do I get to Sumba?

Fly into Tambolaka Airport (TMC) either via Bali or Kupang. Our team will then meet you on arrival.

What domestic airline is best?

NAM air. Their current policy for oversized luggage when commuting with surfboards is best.

Dimensions can not exceed 240 x 100 x 60 and will be an additional cost for every flight based on the weight below.

0 — 10kg Idr 600,000 (approx. $55 AUD)
11 — 20kg Idr 700,000 (approx. $60 AUD)
> 20kg Idr 1,500,000 (approx. $135 AUD)

Is airport pick-up included?

Yes, return airport transfers are included.

What type of accommodation is provided?

Comfortable twin-share beachfront bungalow with ensuite and shared luxury villa with ocean views.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes. Insurance covering surfing and medical emergencies is mandatory and needs to be sent before arrival.

What surf conditions can I expect?

Varied reef and point breaks with average wave heights of 3–6 ft depending on the season.

What level of surf guiding is provided?

Professional spot-guiding with safety briefings and in-water support.

What should I pack?

A ‘what to pack’ list will be sent once your SumbaSurfari has been secured.

Is the trip suitable for beginners?

Currently, we do not encourage beginners to join. The experience is not catered towards that skill level. In the future we plan to offer a beginner only surfari so please register your interest and subscribe. We will keep you informed.

Is Sumba safe?

Yes. Sumba is welcoming and peaceful, and our team ensures a safe experience throughout your stay.

Do you cater to dietary requirements?

Yes. Please inform us in advance.

Is there Wi-Fi or mobile signal?

Wi-Fi is available at the shared villa but we recommend registering yourself an e-sim if you’re wanting to stay connected throughout the week. This can be done before your arrival.

Can I bring my partner or family?

Yes, depending on availability. Non-surfers can enjoy the island at their own pace at full cost.

What is your cancellation policy?
