Lombok, Flores, Komodo & the Gili Islands

We’ve put together six exciting trips to Indonesia (modules) to give you some great experiences on Lombok, the Gili Islands, Flores and Komodo. You can relax on paradise beaches, trek up active volcano Rinjani, explore the rural villages of Southern and Central Lombok, discover remote areas of Flores and get a thrilling up-close encounter with the giant Komodo dragon … the choice is yours.

During these trips to Indonesia, you’ll travel individually by private car with driver. If you like, we can string the modules together to form a comprehensive Indonesia holiday, but you can also choose to do one, or just a couple of the tours. It’s all up to you. A couple of days on the beautiful Gili Islands is a wonderful way to end your Indonesia trip, giving you a chance to relax on the beach after all your trips to Indonesia before boarding the plane home.

Sound good? You can build your own Indonesia holiday using our wider range of bite-sized Indonesia tours. Or if you'd rather leave the planning to us you can choose from one of our suggested holidays in Indonesia.

Prices for departures beyond this date and for international flights are available on request. For departures during peak seasons (e.g. summer holidays, Christmas and New Year) supplements may apply.

Trips to Indonesia Authentic Lombok

Duration: 5 days / 4 nights
Price: £228 per person - based on 2 people 
Departure: Daily from Mataram on Lombok
Route: Sekotong - Tetebatu - Sasak tour - Tetebatu
Lombok is the most popular island out of these trips to Indonesia in the Nusa Tenggara region. This 5-day Lombok trip will let you experience the best of the island, taking you to the wide-swept sparkling white beaches of Lombok’s south coast and the fresh, green scenery of the island’s countryside. Sekotong has picture-postcard white beaches and a bright blue sea against a backdrop of high mountain ridges. This small coastal town hasn’t been discovered by mass tourism yet, and has therefore managed to keep a lot of its authentic local charm. Tetebatu at the foot of the Rinjani volcano is surrounded by green paddy-fields and (in June & July) tobacco plantations. It’s a peaceful place with some wonderful hiking trails to the nearby waterfalls. You can also visit some of the neighbouring villages to the traditional pottery being made by local potters.

Trips to Indonesia Footsteps on the volcano

Duration: 4 days / 3 nights
Price £185 per person - based on 2 people
Departure: Daily
Route: Sembalun - Rinjani - Senaru
Experience a thrilling trek to the summit of Rinjani with this 4-day Lombok trekking tour through Gunung Rinjani National Park. Your trek kicks off with a steep climb to the crater rim where you’ll spend the night in small tents with magnificent views across the valleys below. The next morning you’ll head down to the crater lake where you can relieve your aching muscles in the hot springs. Then it’s uphill again to the crater rim, but this time on the other side of the volcano so you can enjoy the view again as the sun slowly sets. After another night on the summit you’ll descend to the small town of Senaru.

Trips to Indonesia White sands of Gili Meno

Duration 3 days / 2 nights
Price £78 per person - based on 2 people 
Departure: Daily from Gili Meno
Route: Lombok - Gili Meno
The Gilis are a cluster of paradise islands just off the coast of Lombok, far enough from Bali to have maintained their laid-back atmosphere, but close enough to combine a stay with your Bali trip without making it to Lombok as well. Gili Meno is the middle of the three islands - peaceful and authentic. The beaches are white, the sea is blue, the people are relaxed and the fresh fish is roasting on the barbecue...

Trips to Indonesia Remote Flores

Duration: 6 days / 5 nights
Price £398 per person - based on 2 people
Departure: Daily from Maumere
Route: Maumere - Bajawa - Ruteng - Labuhan Bajo
The most authentic island in the Nusa Tenggara cluster has to be the catholic island Flores. It's also the largest island of the eastern part of Nusa Tenggara and owes its name to the Portugese who named it Cape of Flowers. The number of tourists that visit Flores is still quite small, so the island still has an untouched charm. It also means accommodation here isn’t completely developed yet, ranging from basic to very basic. Flores is dominated by a number of volcanoes, including famous Kelimutu, that tower over the landscape and divide the island into a number of ethnic groups, many of which still live by traditional means. During this Lombok Gili Islands tour, you’ll travel from east to west Flores, across spectacular countryside, mountains, rice paddies, coast, plantations and small mountain villages.
