In short

The five-day trip is the four-day route with the east given room to breathe: Waimarang and Tanggedu get a day each instead of sharing one, and Lapopu and Purukambera are added.

  • Starts 12.00 WITA at Tambolaka Airport (TMC) or a hotel nearby.
  • Finishes 11.00 WITA at Waingapu Airport (WGP), on the far side of the island.
  • Private only - the car is yours, and there is no age limit.
  • Come a day early and fly home a day later; the itinerary cannot move around a flight.
