Highlights
  • Stay on the often-overlooked east coast of Lombok with some time spent in Labuan Pandan, taking a snorkelling trip and enjoying a secluded island lunch and a seafood barbecue dinner.
  • Enjoy a Sasak dinner and performance at Tetebatu Local Community Center – be introduced to traditional Gamelan music and feast on dishes prepared by the local community in Tetebatu village.
  • Explore Masbagik – this Sasak village on East side of Lombok is known for its high-quality pottery products that are handmade mostly by the local women.
  • Walk through rice fields and see how the region's farmers have tended the land for centuries, still using traditional water buffalo ploughs. Then, join in and practice how to plant rice in the traditional way!
  • Relax on the shores of Gili Air, swimming, snorkelling, eating and repeating – the Gili Islands may just be some of the most stunning stretches of sand you’ve ever seen.

Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk.

Day 1 - Sanur
Om Swastiastu! Welcome to Indonesia. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm this evening in Sanur, giving you a quick taste of Bali. Sanur is home to one of best Balinese Night Markets, so after your meeting, why not gather some of your fellow travellers for a night of shopping and feasting on street food – the perfect way to start your journey!
Day 2 - Tetebatu
Today is a travel day from Bali to Lombok. First, travel by minivan from Sanur to the port of Padang Bai. Then, take a fast boat to Lombok. Hop on a minibus to Tetebatu – this hillside retreat sits within the centre of Lombok, at the southern base of Mt Rinjani, giving you spectacular views for your first night on the island.
Day 3 - Tetebatu
Today you’ll experience a day in the life of the local Sasak people. Take a guided walk through the rice fields and see how the region's farmers have tended the land for centuries (using traditional water buffalo ploughs). Join with the farmers to practice planting rice in the traditional way, or have a go at ploughing. Climb a little higher, through clove and coffee plantations, to a local warung where you can try some coffee. Have lunch in the rice field, enjoying some traditional Sasak dishes. Here, your local guide is part of a female guiding association that trains and develops women in tourism. Return and recharge, before a special evening. Walk to dinner at the local community hall, welcomed by a group of Gamelan musicians. Along the way, stop at the home industry making brown sugar & coconut oil to see how the local people produce these products in the traditional way. Then, sit down for dinner prepared by the community and tuck into some Sasak delicacies while you watch a music performance.
Day 4 - Labuhan Pandan
Travel to Labuhan Pandan on the east coast of Lombok. This remote beachside location is less visited by tourists but the stretch of coastline is just as gorgeous as the hot spots. Along the way, visit the village of Pringgasela to learn the art of traditional weaving – a long-standing tradition and the main income source for the local people here. Have some lunch with the villagers, then continue to Masbagik – another Sasak village that’s known for hand-made pottery products. Almost no men are involved in the pottery process and you’ll get a chance to meet with the female artisans here as they show you some of the pottery and learn how to craft their work. Tonight, you’ll stay in bungalow accommodation amid the peace and quiet of the secluded east coast.
Day 5 - Labuhan Pandan
Take a trip out to the nearby coral reef today and go snorkelling off the boat. Stop in at a secluded island for lunch, with Mt Rinjani towering over Lombok in the background. Tonight, feast on a fresh seafood barbecue on the beach as the sun goes down – this really is island living at its best, so soak it all in!
Day 6 - Senaru/Gili Air
Today, you’ll travel around the spiritual centre of Labuan Pandan and Mt Rinjani, the sleeping giant of this island. Make a stop at a beach to break the journey and enjoy the amazing mountain view, then visit a local cashew plantion before carrying on to Senaru. When you arrive, you’ll walk past Sendang Gile Waterfall to Tiu Kelep Waterfall, where you can take a refreshing dip to cool off. This afternoon, take a small boat to Gili Air. When you arrive on this idyllic island paradise, take in the breezy atmosphere and maybe walk along the white beaches as the sun goes down.
Day 7 - Gili Air
Gili Air is your oyster today and you’re completely free to relax or explore at your own pace. Maybe take another snorkelling trip or catch a ferry across to the other islands of Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno and work out for yourself which one has the better beaches. This evening, enjoy an optional group dinner on the beachfront as you reminisce on your adventure.
Day 8 - Gili Air
With no activities planned for today, you’re free to leave at any time after check-out. This doesn’t mean your adventure has to come to an end! If you would like to extend your stay on the blissful Gili Air, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time to organise additional accommodation.
