Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
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.
Is this trip right for you?
Part of travelling with Tuuur means respecting local cultures and sensibilities. That way you get the most out of your interactions with local people and environments. Lombok is more conservative than Bali, so it's best to dress conservatively while you're there, particularly in smaller towns and during village walks.
Walking in the village of Tetebatu is on relatively flat ground, but the terrain can be steep and, at times, slippery or muddy.
The snorkelling trip off the east coast of Lombok is a great chance to witness the sealife, but bear in mind you'll need to be a confident swimmer to partake in this activity.
Our accommodation on the east coast of Lombok is remote, and away from the main town. Our simple bungalows and beachside location allow a great chance to unwind and enjoy the slow pace in this slice of paradise.
This trip is part of a longer itinerary. You might be joining travellers who have already spent some time together. If you have more time to explore, you might like to check out our Bali & Lombok Adventure (TISBC).
Itinerary
Visit one of Indonesia's vibrant tropical playgrounds
Get the lowdown on Bali’s beautiful neighbour on an eight-day tropical adventure in Lombok. Spend time in rural communities, meet lots of locals and discover the fascinating Sasak culture through their food, music, home industry and local crafts. From the laidback vibes of Labuan Pandan and the idyllic Gili, you’ll be lazing beachside in no time on one of Indonesia’s most pristine islands. With all the organising taken care of, just sit back and relax on the crystal-clear waters of the Bali Sea, feast on the array of fresh seafood and enjoy the friendliness of the locals as they welcome you to their slice of paradise.

The Lombok trip was outstanding. So fascinating in every aspect and our whole group would agree. Loved all the incredible activities and entertainment provided. Our guide Allan was fantastic too. Would definitely consider and recommend another Intepid tour

Excellent tour, I cannot rate this high enough. The perfect balance of interesting activities and chill time. Lombok is a beautiful island and it was great to experience the culture and be immersed into it. The Wedding, Rice Field tour ( we loved Padli!) and the snorkelling trip off Labuhan Pandan were the highlights for me. Gili Air is also stunning :)

I didn't know what to expect with this trip but I am so glad I did it. Our group was lucky enough to attend a local wedding, hike through rice fields, snorkel in clear blue waters, get drenched at Tiu Kelep waterfall and eat delicious local food. Komang was an excellent leader and prioritised our safety at every step. Book this tour - you'll love it!

We had a great trip to Lombok and Gili Air following an earlier Intrepid trip to Bali. The islands were very chill and we had so many opportunities to engage with the local communities and culture. A highlight was participating in a wedding at the start of our trip and snorkelling with the group. Our leader Irfan made the trip even more enjoyable with his enthusiasm and encouragement to learn about the local culture.

Incredible authentic trip to Lombok and Gili Air thanks to our amazing tour leader Rona, from discovering rural local communities to snorkelling in white sand paradise islands with turtles.

Super trip, Lombok is a bit more off-the-beaten track than Bali and very beautiful. Our guide Rona was infectiously enthusiastic and very helpful.

The Bali and Lombok adventure was a very interesting trip. The hotels were all very good and I liked the snorkeling the best. Swimming with turtles in Gili Air was the highlight for me. Komang in Bali and Rona in Lombok were very good and fun leaders.
