Snorkeling.
The reef in front of Nihiwatu has a beautiful wall that extends past the channel and is full of colorful coral and marine life. The ideal snorkeling conditions are when the surf is small and preferably at low
tide when the current is not as strong and the visibility is better. When you would like to go snorkeling, please visit the boat house or inform the Waterman in advance so that we can prepare the zodiac and
snorkel gear. For safety’s sake we will also schedule a boathouse lifeguard to standby.

Stand Up Paddle-Boarding (SUP).
See the nuances of the reef beneath you as your blade slices through the water, propelling you
forward. Stand-up paddling is a fun and easy way to get a great full
-body workout. The high-tech, stable board is designed to accommodate a person in the standing or kneeling position, and is more ergonomically correct than surfing-prone. No experience is required.

Family Activities Beach Games.
Beach golf is available for those wanting to practice their bunker shots and can be setup with a days notice as the tides permit. A game of Beach soccer, beach bats and volleyball can easily be arranged, or perhaps you might have a crack at a local game of Petanque.

Rock pooling.
The low tides around the new and full moons withdraw sufficiently enough to expose the entire reef in front of the boathouse, revealing many little pools filled with a variety  of marine life. Join the villagers while they forage through the reef in search of seaweed, starfish, sea urchins, crabs, fish, and octopus to use in their traditional cooking.

Weaving.
Women from nearby villages will set up at the Pasar Sumba near Menara  to weave traditional Sumbanese ikats, as well as bracelets, placemats, baskets, boxes and containers made of Pandanus or Palm leaves. If  you  are interested in learning this ancient art, they would be more than  honored to teach you. Please inquire first with the Front Office so that we can make arrangements for you to join them.

Bird watching.
Our bird watching trail is designed to take just 25 minutes to complete and will lead you past both our own chicken  coop and organic garden. Keep your eye out for the exotic birds of Sumba, such  as the
Apricot-breasted sunbird, Blue-tailed Bee Eater or the Sumba Hornbill, in addition to several others.

Mountain biking.
Adventurous guests may try their hand at mountain biking, a great low-
impact way to tour the Sumba countryside. With  several trails of  different difficulty levels, you and your guide can map out a path
that suits your skills and interests.

Rua trek.
Guests depart Nihiwatu at 7.30am for this 2 hour trek and ascend up through the surroundind palm tree forest heading past traditional Sumba villages. Your guide will talk you through the changing environment and provide an opportunity to meet the locals, enter their village and understand more about their daily life. Make sure to bring your bathing suit as you will be able to enjoy a fresh coconut and a swim when you reach pantai Rua. We will arrange for our open air safari vehicle to collect you and transport you back to the resort or you may trek.
We recommend the following items: a sarong, swimsuit, extra shirt and camera before embarking on the trip, and make sure to wear sturdy shoes.

Lamboya trek.
Guests depart Nihiwatu at 7.30am and start the trek heading west across the two and half kilometer Nihiwatu beach. Moving inland you enter through the thick palm tree jungle and up through the mountainous  Lamboya valley and over 200 hectares of rice paddy fields anchored by  estuaries and rivers. Enjoy a refreshing young coconut as it is cut down the traditional way from the surrounding trees by your trekking  guide. The trek is followed by a light early lunch. After the trek we  offer the opportunity for you to discover the areas followed by a return walk or we can arrange for the open air safari vehicle to collect you and transport you back to the resort.

Market tour of Waikabubak.
See what life is like in the heart of West Sumba's largest town, Waikabubak. Just a 30 minutes’ drive from Nihiwatu there is a boisterous and unique market where you can see the piles of dried fish, chili peppers, tobacco, and betel nuts that the locals so highly cherish. You are sure to meet some great characters and it’s quite interesting to see the "pasar" and all the vendors hawking their wares. A trip through town includes a stop at the local fruit stand, a local Sumbanese antique store and any other attractions that you might spot  in passing. On Wednesdays you can see a traditional local market at
Kabukarudi  (Lamboya)  and  the  market  at  Pededewatu  (Rua)  on  Saturdays  for  more  insight  into  the everyday lives of the Sumbanese.

The Sumba Foundation tour.
We invite you to discover what The Sumba Foundation is doing across the island. The close relationship with the resort and many of our guests has brought health, nourishment, education, and enriched the lives of many indigenous Sumbanese people. Visit a local water project, a Malaria-combating health clinic, or volunteer one morning with the school lunch program. Our prearranged tour will also make a stop at the Foundation headquarters, located just outside the gates of Nihiwatu.

Surfing.
The surf at Nihiwatu is world-class; it is hard not to be mesmerized by the endless sets pounding the reef. Only registered surfers may enjoy  the waves, unless with an accompanying waterman during a one on one  lesson. Please check with the Head Waterman regarding weather conditions and tides before you head out as they can change drastically from day to day. Daily surfing in front of Nihiwatu is reserved for registered surfers only. Surf slots are confirmed at the time of reservation.
