🚆 Getting around Lombok

Popular and nimble for exploring the beaches and villages, though some roads are remote — take care.

🚗

Car with driver

Boat to the Gili Islands

Fast boats and public ferries from Bangsal harbour reach the three Gilis in a short ride.

✈️

Lombok Airport

An international airport in the south of the island, connecting Bali, Jakarta, and major cities.

Frequently asked — where to stay in Lombok

How is Lombok different from Bali?+

Lombok is quieter, more pristine, and cheaper, focused on beaches and adventure, while Bali is livelier with more amenities.

How do I get to the Gili Islands from Lombok?+

Take a fast boat or public ferry from Bangsal harbour in the northwest — about 15–45 minutes.

How should I prepare for the Rinjani trek?+

You should have a guide and book a tour in advance; it takes 2–3 days, and you need to be physically fit because the route is steep.
