A grand Lombok sightseeing tour is all you need to discover that the island is definitely at par, if not better than its more famous neighbor (Bali). While there might be millions of tourists that are attracted to Bali, there are many places in Lombok that are still untouched.
Lombok offers many isolated but dreamy-looking beaches, friendly and interesting people, and tasty food and blessed with fantastic natural beauty all around. Getting to Lombok is by plane and by boat, especially when visiting all those islands. Here are the best of the lot.
The Gili islands
These 3 paradise islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, Gili Air) are located only 20 minutes away by boat. They are very popular for scuba diving and snorkeling and also for relaxing, swimming and partying.
You can also discover the colorful underwater world of the Gilis, including finding some turtles.
Mount Rinjani
This second highest volcano in Indonesia is one of the highlights of Lombok sightseeing tour. You can have a multi-day guided tour to the Crater Lake (Segara Anak) and even to the top at all touristy spots.
Senggigi
Most tourists arrive in Senggigi because many hotels are located over here. It’s also great for going out at night or eating out. This is also one of the most popular surf spots for locals and tourists alike (Senggigi Beach)
Senggigi to Pemenang
You can rent and use a scooter to explore this road next to the coast. One of the highlights is the viewpoint at Malimbu Hill 1 and 2 where there is a marvelous view of Malimbu and Nipah Beach and the three Gili islands.
Pusuk Monkey Forest
You can take a winding road through a breathtaking mountain landscape and find the so-called monkey forest found in the jungle and near the streets. You can feed the animals to let you be and stop annoying you.
Kuta
After Senggigi, Kuta is the second tourist hotspot on Lombok. It offers some beautiful beaches and lots of accommodations and restaurants. From here, you can explore the dream beaches of Mawun, Tanjung Aan, and Selong Belanak.
Mawun Beach
This beach with soft white sand and turquoise waters is mostly deserted depending on the time of day. It is secluded and located west of Kuta in an almost enclosed bay.
Tanjung Aan
It is a favorite for many because of the turquoise water and the white sand. You can also climb some rocks to enjoy a breathtaking view over the two bays and beaches of Aan.
Pink Beach
It is not an insider tip but still worth a visit. The visit might be a bit difficult because of the poor condition of the road going there. However, the view is quirte worthwhile seeing the pink beach made of corals.
Mosques and Hindu temples
In contrast to Bali, Lombok and the rest of Indonesia is mainly Muslim, which is why you see and hear so many mosques everywhere. The views are exotic but they can be noisy at times especially at Ramadan.
Lombok is a quite a treasure chest when it comes to the natural beauty surrounding the island with its beaches, forests, mountains, and the sea.
