Ramdankurniawan21: Begitu tiba di Gili Trawangan, mampirlah sebentar di penginapan untuk meletakkan barang-barangmu, kemudian tinggal berjalan kaki sebentar saja, kamu pasti sudah tiba di pinggir pantai.

Senggigi Beach is a tourist area developed on Lombok. Many travelers will use Senggigi Beach as a good place for a trip to Lombok, or a stopover for relaxation and rest during the trip. The sea water is surprisingly calm, and sometimes visitors even feel that they are not facing sea water but lake water. Compared with other holiday beaches, the water entertainment facilities here are poor, not even the common motor boats, drag parasols, etc. People just swim, walk, and sunbathe quietly.

Reviews from Real Guests:

GiaTia065: A perfect place to relax, Senggigi boasts a series of white sandy beaches and safe swimming areas. The point at central Senggigi has good waves for surfers. This place has a colourful reef which provides shelter to a variety of marine life and exquisitely shapped coral and makes it a perfect place to snorkel.

This volcano, which is hidden in the clouds all year round, has a crescent-shaped crater and a beautiful green lake with a volcanic cone. The beautiful scenery of Rinchani Volcano has appeared on National Geographic. Many people have planted grass and want to see this beautiful volcano, but its difficult route has made many ordinary tourists retreat.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Hermansyah 1107: Indonesia is indeed rich in its natural beauty. Mountains, seas, rice fields, all show how beautiful Indonesia is. One of Indonesia's natural charms is Mount Rinjani. This mountain with an altitude of 3,726 meters above sea level is indeed one of the choices for climbers, both domestic and foreign climbers. How not, the stories that spread about its beauty, make every climber definitely challenged to explore this mountain located in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

Day 8 | Morning

Pura Batu Bolong

Opening Hours: Open 24 hours

Ticket Price: Free

Recommended Length of Stay: 1-2 Hours

Location: Beraban Village, Kediri District, Baraban, Bali

This small seaside Hindu temple is located near Senggigi Beach, which was developed earlier in the west of the island. It is a bit like a mini version of Bali Tanah Lot, but I personally think it is more appropriate to describe it as a "purified version". Arriving at sunset, tourists are gone, only a few young islanders, fishing or chasing the waves. The red sunset draws a unique silhouette of the temple stone carvings. The sunset scenery in front of you is really not available in Bali!

Day 8 | Afternoon

When time permits after visiting Pura Batu Bolong, don’t forget pay a visit to Lombok Kuta Beach.

Lombok Kuta Beach

Opening Hours: Open 24 hours

Ticket Price: Free

Recommended Length of Stay: 4-5 Hours

Location: Lombok 83573, Indonesia

South Kuta Beach in Lombok is very beautiful. It is about 60 kilometers away from Senggigi Beach, where tourists are concentrated. There is no bus to reach it, so you can only rent a car. It takes about 1.5 hours from Senggigi Beach to South Kuta. The road near South Kuta is narrow and winding, and it is difficult to find without local people leading the way. Kuta Beach in Lombok is so windy that it almost knocks people over, the wind blows the sand into the air, and sometimes you can't even keep your eyes open. The beach is almost empty of tourists, with the occasional few westerners. The sea is blue and the sand is white.

Reviews from Real Guests:

Hermansyah 1107: If you want to visit Kuta Beach Lombok, come to Kuta Village, Pujut District, Central Lombok Regency. This beach has a coastline of 7.2 Kilometers. On the west coast, there is a hill called Mandalika Hill. This name is taken from an ancient local story about a princess named Mandalika. Princess Mandalika finally jumped into the sea from this hill, because she avoided the pursuit of a prince who wanted to marry her. Now at this time, this hill is the most appropriate place to enjoy the view of Kuta from a height. If you reach the top of Mandalika Hill, you will find a beautiful view of Kuta Beach, with its clear sea water. You can even see the cluster of coral reefs.

Trip.com User: A praia tem de ser limpa rumo perfeito. Que maravilha. Aqui os residentes, a policia local realmente mostram interesse em proteger o turista. Fascinante hospitalidade.
