🌴 Traveling to Lombok soon? Read this first.
As a local guide who’s spent years helping travelers explore this island, here are 5 simple but powerful tips to help you make the most of your trip — the real way.
✨ 1. Don’t Rush – Go Slow
The beauty of Lombok is in its pace. Take your time at each place — enjoy the wind at the beach, talk to locals, and watch the sunset without a deadline. This island is made for slow travelers, not checklist tourists.
✨ 2. Respect Local Culture
Lombok is home to the Sasak people. When visiting villages like Sade or Sukarare, dress modestly and ask before taking photos. A simple smile and “permisi” (excuse me) goes a long way. You’re not just visiting a place — you’re stepping into someone’s home.
✨ 3. Wake Up Early
Trust me — early mornings in Lombok are worth it. From hiking Rinjani before sunrise to walking quiet beaches at dawn, the best memories often happen before 8AM. Plus, it’s cooler and less crowded.
✨ 4. Explore Beyond the Famous Spots
Yes, Gili Trawangan is fun — but there’s more. Try Gili Nanggu, Pink Beach, Tetebatu, or even waterfalls like Tiu Kelep. Some of the best places don’t show up on Google Maps — but locals know them. Just ask!
✨ 5. Travel with a Local Guide
Not just for safety — but for stories, shortcuts, local food, and hidden gems. A guide can turn a simple trip into a full experience. (And yes, I’d love to be your guide 😉)
