Hello Lombok: this is how you discover the island!

Bali's neighboring island of Lombok is known for its beautiful nature, vast beaches and cool mountains. Discover the best things to do on this versatile island, including the famous climb of the Rinjani volcano!

Climb the Rinjani volcano

Climb the Rinjani volcano

One of the highlights of Lombok is Mount Rinjani, an active volcano with a height of 3.726 meters. Climbing the Rinjani is an unforgettable experience, but also a big challenge. During the multi-day hike you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the crater lake Segara Anak, the surrounding mountains and, in clear weather, even Bali. Make sure you prepare well: take an experienced guide, wear sturdy walking shoes and don't forget to bring enough water and food. There are also tours that you can book. Then you often have 'porters' with you who carry your tent and food up the mountain. Porters are the real heroes for many mountain climbers.

Check out the Gili Islands

After the adventure on Rinjani, it is wonderful to relax on the paradise Gili Islands. Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno are located just off the coast of Lombok and are known for their white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and great diving and snorkeling opportunities. Here you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, fresh seafood and the colorful underwater world.

Arrange travel insurance

Arrange travel insurance

Although Lombok is a paradise, sometimes a trip can go differently than planned. A good Travel Insurance, such as that of OHRA, often offers coverage in unexpected situations such as illness, accidents or loss of luggage. It is also possible to take out a travel insurance in addition to your travel insurance cancellation to close.

Visit Pink Beach

Visit Pink Beach

Did you know that there is a pink beach in Lombok? In Lombok you will find one of only ten pink beaches in the world! Good to know: the beach is not bright pink, but rather a subtle pink tint. This can sometimes be a bit disappointing. It is fun to combine a visit to the pink beach with a snorkeling adventure in the sea.

Visiting waterfalls

If you want a beautiful view of a rice field and not too much walking, the Bukit Selong Ricefield Viewpoint is ideal. You only have to take a short walk: the climb up takes no more than an hour.
