SUMBA SHORE EXCURSION: PRAILIU VILLAGE, IKAT WEAVING & MEGALITHIC TOMBS

Sumba is an island south of Flores where old beliefs and stone tombs are still part of daily life. Ships stop at Waingapu in the east.

The route (about 6 hours)

• Prailiu, a traditional village with tall-roofed clan houses and large stone megalithic tombs in front of them.
• An ikat weaving centre, where you can see the whole process: tying, dyeing with plants and weaving the famous East Sumba cloth.

Villages may ask a small donation; we include it. Ask before photographing people.

• An English-speaking local guide meets you at the cruise terminal (or at the tender pier if your ship anchors).
• We plan the day around your ship's times and bring you back well before all-aboard.
• Send us your ship name, port date and docking hours, and we fit the route to them.
