For a long time, Lombok Island has been living in the shadow of its notorious neighbour Bali, but Lombok has its own perks and charms to offer. The beaches to the South are ideal for surfers seeking secluded spots and it is a paradise for hikers, marine enthusiasts and volcano addicts alike. Lombok is home the Mount Rinjani, the second highest volcano in Indonesia at 3726m, a superb hike to the summit offers stunning crater lake views and glimpses of the active volcano erupting inside the old caldera. Lombok Island is surrounded by lots of lovely islets and the three North-west Gili Islands (Trawangan, Meno and Air) are just nearby. These picture perfect islands with their white sand beaches and beautiful coral reefs are perfect for both lazy beach days and scuba diving adventures.
