BALI & LOMBOK





Bali

Surf in Ulu Watu and Dreamland, scuba dive in Amed, chase dolphins in Lovina, climb Gunung Agung, play with monkeys, buy silver jewellery and paintings, and meditate in Ubud, party in Seminyak, get sunburned in Kuta, indulge in 5-star luxury in Nusa Dua, hike Gunung Batur, chill out in Padangbai, cool off at Danau Baratan, gape at the Tanah Lot tample, and indulge in ultra-green rice fields spread throughout the island.

Lombok

Bali's lesser known sister island, located just a couple hours away by ferry, is a great gateaway no metter what you are looking for Rinjani, the second of the island, Generally summited in 3 days with 2 night camping, it offers some of the most incredible vistas known to mankind. If time or energy is an issue, you can get to the crater rim on a one-day's hike and catch the same, unforgettable views. Off to the west are the Gili islands which are famous for their diving, snorkling, partying, honetmooner atmospheres and indulgent days of doing nothing - all depending on which island you choose. ( South Lombok is made up hawkerless, forever stretches of white sand beaches with emerald blue waters and rolling green hills. For those that want serenity and scculent seas, this is it. )
