The ikat of Savu are some of Nusa Tenggara’s finest and there will be opportunities to shop for them. Admire the female of Savu who are reputed in the whole archipelago for their beauty. We wander by foot or on horseback about the interior of Savu, breathing the timeless atmosphere of the island, visited and admired by Captain Cook and his crew. Late afternoon we sail onward to either the island of Raijua or to Sumba. If sea conditions allow, we make a stop in Raijua island as everywhere in the Savu area, it is, for the casual visitor, a return to a strictly rural, animistic society, with all villages built and organised in a strictly traditional way, giving everyone a sense of being back in a sort of garden of Eden; expect Midday sail to uninhabited Dana island for a Robinson Crusoe experience and an beach BBQ in splendid isolation .
