Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Hike to the summit of Mt Batur for a truly dazzling sunrise view that stretches across the Lombok Strait, all the way over to the peaks of Mt Rinjani.
Go snorkelling in the crystal waters around Menjangan Island reef and off the east coast of Lombok and hopefully spot some tropical fish and (if you’re lucky) sea turtles.
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.
Be treated to a traditional 'bungkus' meal, have a picnic on a secluded island and feast on a BBQ seafood dinner – you won’t go hungry with all this delicious Indonesian cuisine around!
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.
Is this trip right for you?
A good level of fitness is essential, as there are a range of physical activities included (cycling from Ubud, hiking Mt Batur, village walks and hikes in Lombok and two snorkelling trips).
There is one very early start – your sunrise climb of Mt Batur kicks off at 3 am. This means you'll be walking over some gravel and volcanic rock in the dark. Head torches, warm clothing and good walking shoes are a must. The view at sunrise is well worth the effort, especially if the weather's fine!
Bali and Lombok are blessed with fairly consistent temperatures year round, however the rainy season is usually from October through to March. During this time there are generally frequent downpours, although generally these do not last long and the temperatures are usually still warm
There are two included snorkelling trips - for confident swimmers this is a great chance to see the sea life.
Lombok is more conservative than its Balinese neighbour. Particularly in smaller towns and during village walks, it is best to dress conservatively.
This trip is a combination of the TISA and TISM trips. Please review the Itinerary for details of when your fellow travellers and leader will change
Itinerary
Be romanced by the culture and hospitality of Bali and Lombok
Tell anyone to picture paradise, and the beaches of Bali and Lombok will likely pop into their minds. Experience it for yourself on this 15-day adventure through the Islands of Indonesia and see why Bali and Lombok are favourites among travellers – it might have something to do with the blend of beaches, great food and rich cultures. Feel rejuvenated as you walk, hike, cycle, snorkel and swim through the islands and surrounding seas. Both these gorgeous islands are famous for their beauty and welcoming spirit, which you’ll encounter at every turn.

We really enjoyed the Bali and Lombok trip. We found the Bali trip was perfect in terms of being very active, as opposed to the Lombok trip which provided probably a little bit more downtime, and less exercise, then we like for our trips. However, this is accurately described in the trip information. Will you definitely recommend this trip if you want to see Bali And Lombok outside of the usual tourist areas. Gili Air is a nice place to relax at the end of the trip.

You really get under the skin of Bali and Lombok in this trip and experience things the average tourist doesn’t get to. It’s a fantastic experience and I’d throughly recommend it.
