Additional Information

Sumbawa travel can be an adventure, as its limited facilities—particularly in accommodation and transport—present unique challenges. However, this also means you'll discover a more authentic and less tourist-trodden side of Indonesia.
This experience available with a minimum of 2 pax and maximum of 8 pax.

Our rates are based on current gasoline prices. In the event of an increase of 10% or more, we reserve the right to adjust the rates with advance notice.
