Explore the Island’s Hidden Breaks.

For those drawn to the thrill of discovery, our Surfari experience invites you to explore the breaks beyond NIHI Sumba.

Several surf spots lie within 30–60 minutes of the resort and can be accessed by car or boat. While Nihiwatu Beach is famed for hosting one of the island’s most celebrated waves, Occy’s Left, we understand the allure of hunting new swells and empty line-ups along Sumba’s wild coastline.

Wherever the swell leads, our experienced team will guide you to the break best suited to your ability, ensuring a day of exploration, progression, and unforgettable waves.
