Welcome to Lombok! Enjoy the afternoon by the pool before dinner & drinks with your group.
Day 2: Sasak Village & Waterfalls
Start the day off by immersing ourselves in the local customs and cultures of Lombok at the Sasak Village. Follow along as our local guides explain about village life and the traditional weaving techniques handed down from generation to generation. Next, we check out 3 of Lombok's scenic waterfalls only accessible by jungle trek.
Day 3: Lombok Beach Day
Pack some sunscreen and a towel as today we will visit some of the most pristine beaches Lombok has to offer. Set off to 2 different locations along the southern coastline where we will enjoy white sandy beaches, friendly locals and a chance to top up that tan.
Day 4: Travel to Sumbawa
Pack your bags! Today we travel by bus and ferry to our next location, Sumbawa Island. Check in to our beach front bungalows and enjoy a peaceful afternoon on the beach or next to the pool.
Day 5: Moyo Island Day Trip
Set off on a day trip to the almost uninhabited island of Moyo. Here we will take a ride into the heart of the island where our local guides will show us the hidden gems nestled within the jungle with a chance to swim in the beautiful and untouched waterfalls of Moyo. Enjoy lunch on the beach before boarding the boat back home, catching the sunset along the way.
Day 6: Satonda Island
Today we head off on our very own Liveaboard boat, an amazing Tru Exclusive. We will be on a converted traditional wooden boat which has been transformed for this journey of a lifetime! Sharing a dorm style room on the top deck, and having traditional style showers it's a Truly backpacking experience you won't get anywhere else! The first part of our voyage has us stopping off at Satonda Island, grab your snorkel and mask and take a dip in the salt lake crater. The unspoiled marine life is out of this world. We have a delicious local dinner sitting on the deck as the sun goes down. Beer in hand, it's been a sick first day at sea. Get ready to sail through the night as we carry on the adventure to the next destinations!
Day 7: Komodo Island Hopping
Wake up, breathe in the fresh air of the Komodo National Park and admire one of the most beautiful sunrises you are ever likely to see. Kick back and watch the islands float past as you eat your breakfast. We're sailing to Manta Point, a once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel amongst the gentle giants. Manta Point is home to families of manta rays although intimidating in size they really are harmless, humble giants. We'll be visiting Pink Beach. Yeah it's really pink! Before we trek up to the stunning viewpoint on Padar Island for sunset. It really is out of this world. Before heading back to the boat for a cold beer, a moment you'll never forget with your TruFam.
Day 8: Komodo Dragons
Take a step back in time as you enter the Jurassic world of the Komodos. Here we are greeted by our local guides who inhabit the island before setting off in search of these prehistoric creatures. Take an educational tour of 1 of only 4 islands these creatures inhabit. Our journey then continues east as our time aboard draws to a close. Say our farewells to the Capt & Crew before checking in to our beautiful resort in Labuan Bajo, Flores. Enjoy a farewell dinner and drinks with the group.
Day 9: Chilled Checkout
The day has arrived and time to say your farewells. Whether your staying a little longer on Flores island or headed to your next destination your Group Leader will be happy to help arrange all onward travel and continued support while still in Asia.

My 5th tour! After doing Bali experience last year I knew I wanted to come back and see more of Indonesia. I have spent the last 12 weeks travelling south east Asia, joining many ntours along the way. This was my final tour and it was great. I really enjoyed the time on Lombok, and highlights for me would be padar island at sunrise, swimming with giant manta rays and seeing the Komodo dragons. It would have been nice to see a bit more of sumbowa… and didn’t really see the point in stopping on satonda island, but that maybe is again a personal opinion. I also didn’t enjoy the boat trip the first night was extremely rocky and I suffer with sea sickness, I also felt there was a lot of time spent travelling on the boat and not a huge amount of time actually spent seeing the islands. It would have maybe been nice to spend more time on them then at sea. Oner and monk were great tour guides always ensuring everyone was ok and having a good time. Always checking if people needed help. It wouldn’t have been the same without them :)

Perfect way to finish my 3 months of travelling. This tour has a great combination of hiking, swimming and chilling just what I was looking for. Monk and Oner work as the perfect duo. They would have the whole group laughing all the time. Monk clearly has a lot of experience in travel and tourism and Oner has got a lot of passion for his new career path. With time, I believe Oner will become more confident within his himself and his abilities. He is such a character and will be a fantastic tour guide. He was always keen to get involved in every activity which led him to be a master at uno! I’d like to thank them both for a fantastic tour and leaving me with everlasting memories. It’s been an unforgettable trip!

An amazing trip with some truly unique and unforgettable experiences. The 3 day boat trip was a true highlight - the crew were fantastic and we were lucky enough to see manta-rays and dolphins. Waterfalls, Komodo dragons, sunrise hikes and so much more. My only improvement would be some of the accommodation was very basic and there was no ‘stand-out’ hotel which normally on yours you have at some point.

Luki was very attentive to meeting our needs and problem solving. Pre-ordering dinner was a great idea but payment could have been expedited as payment at the cash took very long usually for the whole group. Luki was also great at singing and trying to bring the group together.

One of the best trips I think I have ever done. We swam with Whale Sharks and Manta Rays! Saw Komodo’s! And also saw dolphins when living on the boat. I really recommend this trip to anyone. The beaches we went to were absolutely stunning, and we were always the only ones there - no other tourists. Overall absolutely amazing trip.

It was such an amazing time! We saw so many wonderful places and time flew by! I wished the tour had been longer :) Thanks, Wira, for taking the time to always answer our questions - be it in general about Indonesia, about specific places, or more personal ones, too. The trip was very well organized and even the change in the itinerary was well planned out. The tour was a great mix of adventurous activities, beautiful nature, and unique experiences like staying on the boat and snorkeling with numerous mantas :) THANK YOU!

I had an amazing time here in Indonesia. I would have loved to stay longer on the boat because the first day was skipped due to the weather. Wira was always interested in our lives and explained a lot for us who were interested. He just wanted the best for all of us, safety and adventure go hand in hand for him. Thank you very much for these fantastic holidays!

Ippy was great from the beginning. I joined the group part way through their trip and was initially nervous whether I would be able to integrate into the group at a late point, but Ippy always made sure I was never on my own and made it easy for me to fit in with everyone else. He always went above and beyond, especially if anything didn’t got exactly to plan, even though out of his hands, he would ensure no one was left disappointed. He made it clear that we could come to him at any hour and even wake him up if needed. He was great at building enthusiasm for all activities but also made it clear it was our own trip and we didn’t have to stick to the itinerary if there was anything we didn’t want to do. Ippy was full of knowledge but also up for a good time which is exactly what I look for in a group leader. Can’t say enough good things about him. Thanks Ippy

Ovinda was a great tour guide! She was very caring even before the trip started she set up a WhatsApp group chat with all the other travelers and helped to organize a shuttle from the port in Lombok to the hotel. She was always smiling, laughing and very helpful. I would definitely book a tour with her again!!!
