Blue Waterfall

Add to wishlist

A Rewarding Expedition Exploring the Natural Beauty of Sumba.

Journey deep into the heart of Sumba to discover the Blue Waterfall, one of the island’s most breathtaking natural wonders.

Your adventure begins with a scenic 45-minute drive descending into the sweeping beauty of Wanukaka Valley. Upon arrival, a guided 1.5-hour trek leads you through pristine national parkland. Along the way, keep watch for remarkable wildlife, from long-tailed macaques and reticulated pythons to the vibrant Nusa Tenggara paradise-flycatcher and the striking citron-crested cockatoo.

Eventually the sound of the powerful cascading water reaches your ears as the trail opens from dense jungle to reveal a turquoise waterfall basin. The sheer scale of the Blue Waterfall is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Cool off in the luminous blue lagoon below or simply relax and enjoy this extraordinary setting with a leisurely picnic surrounded by nature’s grandeur.

Overview

Be awestruck by the stunning vistas that surround you as you descend into Wanukaka Valley, a highlight of this 45-minute drive to Matayangu.

The walking trail begins with a 1h30 trek, led by local guides, through a pristine national park and into the blue lagoon at the base of the waterfall. Keep an eye out for exotic wildlife; such as long-tailed macaques, reticulated pythons, Nusa Tenggara paradise-flycatchers, or citron-crested cockatoos.

As the trail emerges from the jungle, the sheer size and scale of the waterfall basin is a mindblowing sight to behold. Relax and soak in the beauty of this mighty environment over a leisurely picnic.

If heaven was a place on earth, it might look a little like NIHI.

There is something endlessly beautiful about watching horses roam free, running the shoreline and swimming in the ocean, life as it was intended. These majestic creatures are woven deeply into the culture of Sumba, companions to its people and part of the very soul of the island.

Raja Mandaka, the crown jewel of NIHI Sumba.

Perched above the Indian Ocean, with uninterrupted views stretching along the Sumbanese coastline, it feels like a world of its own. Mornings unfold slowly, golden light spills across the horizon, and the sound of the ocean follows you from sunrise to sunset.
