The waters in Lombok are always between 27 and 29ºC (81-84ºF) all year round so surfing is possible at any time of the year as well. The only thing to take into account is the two main seasons. From April to September, the dry season, you have to go surfing early in the morning as the trade winds can ruin the waves after 9 am. Head to the west coast for the best surfing conditions, especially the renowned Desert Point, where you can find the best waves in Lombok. During the wet season, from October to March, the water is warm and most of the beaches are less crowded. Most of the surf spots on the island are great for beginners and intermediate surfers so if you want to learn to surf, Lombok is the ideal destination. You can start your surfing adventure in Gerupuk, Ekas and Selong Belanak. Here you can start riding waves enrolling in a surf camp or you can improve your surfing technique on your own. Your choice. Get your surfboard and be ready to ride the waves!

Mighty Mount Rinjani might be one of the main reasons for travellers to come to Lombok. The second largest volcano in Indonesia is still active and the main attraction is to trek to the crater at the summit where you can also take in breathtaking views of a lake and the island. You can choose from several treks varying in days. The longer the hike is, the more time you will have as the strenuous trek to the crater is a very demanding one.

Pink Beach receives its name because of the strawberry-blonde colour of the sand. Ideal for swimming and sunbathing, this beach is also a great spot for its coral reefs lying off shore. Bring your goggles and your snorkel and get into the turquoise and crystal clear waters. As you glide along you will take in all the colourful marine underworld beneath you.

Gunung Tunak National Park is a fantastic place to get stunning views of the local scenery.

Hike up the three kilometre trek that will guide you along the coast until you reach an old lighthouse standing on the side of the cliff.

Although Lombok has got a superb coastline of unrivalled beauty, one of the highlights drawing thousands of visitors are the three magical Gili Islands, lapped by sparkling turquoise waters and heavenly white sandy beaches. The laid back vibes, the Gili Meno is an ideal snorkelling spot, great for families with a relaxed beach setting.
