Lombok has its own, newly-built international airport, Bandara Internasional Lombok (BIL), with daily flights to Jakarta, Surabaya, Yogyakarta, and Denpasar daily, and also direct flights to Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, among other major cities.

Senggigi Beach is just about an hour away from the airport and you can easily get there via public transport, but keep in mind that public transport in Lombok is unreliable. An alternative means of transport is to take an airport taksi, but only if you are arriving at the airport and heading into a city. Airport taksis cannot take you to the airport for departure.

Though you can easily hire a driver or car at a reasonable price, renting a motorcycle is an alternative, more adventurous way to see the island. Roads are in good condition, making for a safe ride and the widest part of the island is just 80 km, so you won't have to ride to too long, no matter where you go. Don't forget your helmet - it's illegal to ride without one. You can easily find rental shops all over the island.

Stand on the street and hail a bemo, which is a small covered pick-up truck with benches for seating in the truck bed, available for short to medium-distance rides. Cidomos, or horse carts, are also another means of transport for short distances. Be sure to agree upon a price before you get in.

For a leisurely and more cultural experience, you can also rent a bicycle, available for rental at hotels.

To get from one beach to another, you can also hire a traditional fishing boat, also known as a perahu. You can either rent them directly from an owner (speaking Bahasa Indonesian or Bahasa Sasak will definitely help in this case), or if you're willing to pay more, from a travel agent.

Some hotels include breakfast in the overall cost, while others add it as an extra charge. The quality and price of breakfast can vary greatly depending on the hotel. Being informed beforehand can help you determine if you need to set aside additional funds. The hotel's buffet may be worth it, or you might consider visiting a local bakery or cafe for a more budget-friendly option.

Save some money and appreciate the beautiful scenery by having a picnic. Find a nearby grocery store or market, pick out some fresh food, and choose a nice park or scenic spot for your meal.

Opt for a water bottle instead of constantly buying drinks. It's not only convenient but also eco-friendly.

Kuta Beach (Free)
Pink Beach (Free)
Tiu Kelep Waterfall for $100
Mount Rinjani for $150
Gili Islands for $100
Senggigi Beach (Free)
Narmada Park for $3

Lombok isn't a large island, which makes it easy to navigate and visit, especially if you're limited on time.

Senggigi Beach is the main tourist attraction of Lombok, where visitors flock for beautiful beaches on the west side of the island. Go to the center if you're looking for bars, restaurants and nightlife. Be sure to check out a map of Senggigi before you book accommodations, as it is divided into several areas and it may be hard to get from one to another without a taxi or using public transport.

The center of Senggigi is also a common takeoff point to visit the Gili Islands, nearby villages and temples, and Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls, where you can take an easy trek to view the beautiful falls.

For a cultural experience, visit Mayura Park, built in the mid 1700s by King A.A Made Karangasem. Within the park, you can visit the four Hindu temples, Mount Rinjani, Ngelurah, Padmasana, and Gedong temple.

Take a stroll along with a history lesson in Narmada Park, the king of Bali's summer palace, which is a peaceful and lush green space believed to contain the fountain of youth among wooden pavilions and clean pools.

While Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan are popular with tourists and locals alike on the west side of Lombok, if you're looking for something more off-the-beaten-track, explore the secret and mostly deserted (and sometimes submerged) east islands of Gili Bidara, Gili Kapal and Gili Lampu. Here, you can take a day trip tour to explore all the islands to snorkel and experience your own Shangri-La without the tourism that comes with the more popular west gilis. Gili Kondo is the most known and visited of the east Gilis, especially because locals like to visit on weekends.

On the south of the island, Kuta beach, not to be confused with its namesake in Bali, has beautiful, white sand beaches for relaxing as well as some of the best surfing in the world. Some travelers have had problems in Kuta Lombok as this small town is often caught up in the general problems associated with tourism development.

Lombok also has world-class diving spots in the southwest of the island in Sekotong.

Take a hike up to Mount Rinjani, the second-highest, not to mention active volcano in Indonesia at 12,224 feet in elevation.

Don't forget to visit the hot springs and Segara Anak, a heated crater lake in the caldera. Tour companies such as HaLoMi Trekker and Green Rinjani Trekking will take you to see beautiful views of all of the above on a challenging trek including delicious cooked meals.

Sightseeing Tips

Scuba Diving & Snorkeling:
One of the key highlights in Lombok is its popular scuba diving scene. The island is surrounded by clear waters and colorful coral, making it a superb snorkeling and diving destination. For some of the best dive spots head to the Gili Islands. Around the island you'll find places where you can see turtles, colorful fish, and possibly even Hammerhead Sharks.

Beaches:
Many adventurers arrive in Lombok to spend leisurely days at the beach. Kuta, Senggigi, and the Gili Islands offer some of the area's best beaches. Many beaches have white sand, clear water, beautiful snorkeling, or fun surfing. Mawun Beach and Pandanan Beach are among the most beautiful beaches, while Selong Belanak Beach is very photogenic with its water buffalo. Tanjung Aan Beach has surfing and Kuta Beach Lombok is the most popular beach, but not among the best.

Hiking:
Discovering the hiking trails around Lombok is a delight. There are many walking and hiking trails around the island, but the most well known is the three day hike to the peak of Mount Rinjani. This is the large and active volcano on the island. The hike is truly beautiful and spectacular, but it's also a challenging climb and the difficulty level should not be underestimated.

Shopping:
You'll find shopping here to be an experience worth having. There are many traditional markets and villages around the island where you can buy Sasak crafts. These items are characterized by bright colors and elaborate patterns. You'll find pottery, fabrics, clothing, and hand-woven baskets.

Local tours that last a few hours can be a great way to explore Lombok. Prices vary by the type of activity or tour, the dates, and the size of the group. Here are a few of the highest rated tours by previous visitors:

Budgeting and Travel Tips for Lombok

To keep costs down, make sure to enjoy the free activities. Some of the best include:
- Kuta Beach
- Pink Beach
- Senggigi Beach
Peak season in summer usually results in inflated prices and heavy crowds. To keep costs down and avoid the hustle, try visiting during the shoulder or low seasons instead.
Lombok is sizable, so you can typically find a range of prices for everything from hotels to food and activities. To cut costs, shop around, make reservations in advance, and take advantage of free entertainment.
Traveling at a more relaxed pace can save you money while you take in the stunning beauty around you. When you fill each day with activities, your expenses can soar. But by slowing down and enjoying the journey, you usually spend less.

Budgeting Challenges

Numerous visitors come to Lombok for its amazing scuba diving adventures. This can be costly, with limited ways to save money. Expect to allocate a significant portion of your budget for dive trips, equipment rentals, and boating excursions. It's also important to check your travel insurance to ensure it covers everything, including accidents and cancellations due to weather.
Lombok doesn't offer many public transportation choices. It might be a good idea to arrange for transportation ahead of time, like booking a tour or a private driver. Just keep in mind that this could affect your budget in other areas.
Lombok isn't known for its abundance of hostels, so if you're hoping to crash in a budget-friendly dorm, you might need to rethink your strategy. Consider looking for an affordable hotel or an apartment rental instead.

Traveling in Lombok

Lombok

Lombok is an island east of the well-tread Bali and west of lesser-developed Sumbawa. While Lombok is not as popular as its neighbor to the west, it is a great place to visit for that very reason. Less popularity means lower prices for accommodations, food, activities, and less-inundated tourist spots. Nonetheless, Lombok is rapidly developing in tourism, and the government is naming it and Sumbawa the number two tourism spots, following Bali.

The most comfortable time to visit Lombok is from May through to September, which is dry season. However, Lombok's wet season is still much drier than that of Bali's, from October through to April.

If you visit during off season, consider that the biggest religious event of the year, Bau Nyale Festival, takes place in Kuta every February and is dedicated to catching a rare type of sea worms which spawn during the full moon. In addition to catching sea worms, the festival highlights include Presean, which is traditional stick fighting, and Adu Pantun, a form of traditional poetry recited by young people in competition, with intentions of flirting and possibly leading to courtships in local villages.

Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget

Setting realistic expectations for your travel budget is important. Many people think they can visit Lombok on a tight budget, but most travelers aren't comfortable with a low "shoestring" budget. Think about what you enjoy during your vacations and how you typically travel. Do you prefer resorts, vacation rentals, or hostels? Do you want to visit museums, sights, and participate in activities? Is dining out a priority? These factors will shape both your budget and your itinerary.

The Truth on Budget Travel

While you might think you're a budget traveler, without giving up many of your usual comforts, you'll likely need to spend more than the $24 per day that backpackers often spend.

Backpackers often work within this tight budget by staying in hostel dorms, eating fast food or street food, using public transit, and mainly visiting free attractions.

Food is a major draw for all kinds of visitors to Lombok, but budget travelers frequently rely on street food or prepare their own meals in hostels, which means they might miss out on the amazing local cuisine.

Do You Identify as an Average Traveler?

Couples and families enjoying a vacation will probably want to stay in a mid-range hotel, eat at popular dining spots, and explore the key museums and attractions that have entry fees. When visiting Lombok, you'll want to see Kuta Beach, Pink Beach, or Tiu Kelep Waterfall. Keep in mind that most activities cost money. Thus, it's reasonable to expect your daily budget to be around $55 per person, per day.

Want to Escape the Daily Grind in Style?

For a trip that encompasses every convenience with outstanding service, get ready for a daily cost nearing $108. To experience nicer hotels, enjoy award-winning cuisine, indulge in extravagant outings, and use taxis or private drivers for your journeys in the island, be prepared for premium pricing. Also, higher-end tours are common with luxury travelers, such as Exclusive Private Experience: 5 Secret Gili Islands - offered by Viator.
