Private Tour
Lombok & Gili Islands Escape 7 Days
Bali’s Quieter Sister — Surf, Waterfalls & Tropical Paradise
Tour Overview
Just 35km east of Bali lies Lombok — an island that offers everything its famous neighbor does, but with far fewer people and a more laid-back vibe. This 7-day journey pairs Lombok’s dramatic volcanic interior (Mount Rinjani’s foothills, hidden waterfalls, traditional Sasak villages) with the Gili Islands’ car-free, cocktail-sipping, snorkeling paradise.
If you love Bali but wish you’d seen it 30 years ago — or if you’re looking for a more authentic, less commercialized Indonesian island experience — Lombok is your answer.
Tour Highlights
- ◆ Chase waterfalls in the lush foothills of Mount Rinjani
- ◆ Snorkel with sea turtles in the crystal-clear waters of the Gili Islands
- ◆ Visit traditional Sasak villages where life follows centuries-old rhythms
- ◆ Watch sunset from a swing over the ocean on Gili Trawangan
- ◆ Surf the uncrowded breaks of South Lombok
- ◆ Cycle around Gili Trawangan — no cars, just bikes and horse carts
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Airport pickup at Lombok International Airport. Drive to your resort in Senggigi. Afternoon at leisure — pool or beach. Evening sunset dinner with views across the Lombok Strait toward Bali’s Mount Agung.
Full-day exploration of Lombok’s interior. Visit Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls in the foothills of Mount Rinjani — the second-tallest volcano in Indonesia. Swim in the cool mountain pools. Afternoon visit to a traditional Sasak village: learn about the unique architecture of their rice-barn-shaped houses.
Drive to South Lombok. Visit the breathtaking viewpoints over Kuta Lombok’s crescent bays (not to be confused with Kuta Bali). Afternoon surf lesson at Selong Belanak, one of Indonesia’s best beginner beaches. Stop at Tanjung Aan’s twin bays with their peppercorn-like sand.
Morning boat transfer to Gili Trawangan — a car-free paradise where bicycles and horse-drawn carts are the only transport. Check in to your beachfront bungalow. Afternoon cycling around the island (takes ~45 minutes). Evening sunset at the famous ocean swings on the west coast.
Full-day island-hopping by private boat. Snorkel with sea turtles at Gili Meno’s Turtle Point. Visit the underwater statues at Gili Meno. Continue to Gili Air for lunch at a beachfront cafe. More snorkeling at coral gardens between the islands. Return to Gili Trawangan for sunset.
Day at leisure to enjoy the Gili lifestyle. Options: take a freediving course, join a yoga class, get a spa treatment, join a beach clean-up, or simply read in a hammock. Evening farewell dinner at a beachfront restaurant.
Morning boat back to Lombok. Transfer to Lombok Airport for departure.
