The three Gili Islands off the coast of Lombok are inviting and beautiful. The islands are remote and feature transportation by foot, on bicycle, or via horse drawn carriage. This is Indonesia at its most austere and authentic, with little trace of the outside world.
Visit the earthly jewels in Lombok's crown: the volcanic Mount Rinjani, which rises to 3,726 meters (12,224 feet), making it the third highest in Indonesia, and the volcano's crater lake, Lake Segara Anak. Alternatively, take a helicopter to the top and circle the crater.
Go fishing in the pristine waters around Lombok with native anglers from the village of Pondok Perasi. Pondok Perasi is a traditional fishing village comprised of 750 families that have subsisted on their daily catches for generations. There are over 200 species of fish to be caught here, so a morning's catch will vary depending on how far you go from the shore.
Drive to Mount Rinjani and see Sendang Gila, a massive waterfall on the northern slopes of the volcano. According to Indonesian folklore, the waters here have healing powers and this magnificent sight was unknown to man until a lion that they were hunting led them to it.
The waterfall is about 102 feet (31 meters) tall and said to possess healing powers. Visitors may swim at Sendang Gila if they wish.
Water-related activities include world-class surfing at Banko Banko’s Desert Point, and the varied scuba destinations at Sekotong.
Visit Tanjung market, a new market in the north of Lombok, where locals sell and buy various items on the island's antiquated barter system. Try bartering in the market and visit with families in the village.

This 4-day itinerary offers experienced trekkers an unforgettable journey through the spectacular landscapes of Mount Rinjani and Segara Anak crater lake.
Climbing Lombok’s Mt. Rinjani takes adventurers up through green cliffs and lava-formed canyons, the views only becoming more impressive as you ascend. Along the steep landscape are rims and ridges, perfect for setting up camp and settling in for the night. Surrounded by wilderness, travelers fall asleep under the stars and wake up to crisp mountain air and unspoiled scenery each morning. Reach Plawangan Sembalun at 2,639 meters and you will be camping above a sea of clouds. Accompanied by guides and porters transporting camping equipment, you will stay at campsites on the rim of the volcano with all food and drinks provided, with meals prepared by an dedicated chef.
A lush island nestled in Indonesia’s West Nusa Tenggara Province, Lombok is a paradisiacal setting complete with serene beaches and exquisite waterfalls. Its forested slopes and mountainous inland areas give way to crystalline turquoise waters and white sandy beaches along its coast. Snorkelers, surfers, and anglers alike will find idyllic tranquility on the shores of Lombok. The Wyndham Lombok Sundancer Resort features ceramic tiled rooftops and accents, coupled with natural wood and stone elements, that pay homage to the island’s indigenous, ocean-side roots. Guests are spoiled for choice in terms of activities, with windsurfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling options available, in addition to a health spa, private beach club, access to guided fishing trips and “surfing safaris.”
