Route Overview
About this Tour
Lombok is 'Bali 30 years ago' – less touristy, more authentic, wilder. The island is dominated by the majestic Rinjani volcano, one of Indonesia's most beautiful treks. The coast offers surf spots without the crowds and turquoise bays all to yourself. And then there are the Gili Islands – three tiny atolls without cars where life moves at a turtle's pace. Snorkeling, sunsets, and complete deceleration await you.
Your Journey in Detail
🏝️Mataram & Senggigi
Lombok is best started in Mataram, the relaxed capital. Senggigi is the well-known tourist hub – nice but not spectacular. From here boats start to the Gili Islands and treks to Rinjani are organized.
🐢Gili-Inseln erleben
The three Gilis have different vibes: Trawangan is party, Air is yoga, Meno is honeymoon. All are car-free – horse-drawn carriages and bicycles are the taxis. Snorkel with turtles, swing on beach swings, and enjoy the sunsets, the most beautiful in the region.
🌅Kuta Lombok & South
Kuta Lombok (not to be confused with Bali!) is an up-and-coming surfer's paradise. The beaches – Tanjung Aan, Mawun, Seger – are breathtaking and still pleasantly empty. Development is progressing rapidly, so enjoy it while it's still quiet!
💡Practical Tips
- ✓Speedboats to the Gilis can be dangerous in high waves – choose reliable operators!
- ✓The Rinjani trek takes 2-3 days and is demanding – good fitness required.
- ✓Lombok is predominantly Muslim – modest clothing recommended away from the beaches.
