Here are some highlights about Lombok Island:

1. Trekking the lush and majestic slopes fo Gunung Rinjani to its sacred summit.

2. Plunging into the deep waters of the Gili Islands where mantas, sharks and sea turtles converges to offer terrific snorkelling and scuba diving.

3. Grooving under the coconut palms at midnight in sweet Gili Trawangan.

4. Exploring the beautiful sandy coves and spectacular coastline east and west of Kuta, a region that has some of Lombok’s best surf and is due for some major development in the near future.

5. Searching for the perfect beach in the thinly populated Southeastern Peninsula, a rugged region with an enormous and pristine bay that resembles Bali’s Bukit 30 years ago.
