Guide

All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leader or local representative. The aim of the group leader or local representative is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced group leader or local representative however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your group leader or local representative is new to a particular region or training other group leader or local representative. Your group leader or local representative will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your group leader or local representative can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

Day 1 Day 1: Sanur
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 1: Sanur

Om Swastiastu! Welcome to Indonesia. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm this evening in Sanur, giving you a quick taste of Bali. Sanur is home to one of best Balinese Night Markets, so after your meeting, why not gather some of your fellow travellers for a night of shopping and feasting on street food – the perfect way to start your journey!
Day 2 Day 2: Tetebatu
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 2: Tetebatu

Today is a travel day from Bali to Lombok. First, travel by minivan from Sanur to the port of Padang Bai. Then, take a fast boat to Lombok. Hop on a minibus to Tetebatu – this hillside retreat sits within the centre of Lombok, at the southern base of Mt Rinjani, giving you spectacular views for your first night on the island.
Day 3 Day 3: Tetebatu
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 3: Tetebatu

Today you’ll experience a day in the life of the local Sasak people. Take a guided walk through the rice fields and see how the region’s farmers have tended the land for centuries (using traditional water buffalo ploughs). Join with the farmers to practice planting rice in the traditional way, or have a go at ploughing. Climb a little higher, through clove and coffee plantations, to a local warung where you can try some coffee. Have lunch in the rice field, enjoying some traditional Sasak dishes. Here, your local guide is part of a female guiding association that trains and develops women in tourism. Return and recharge, before a special evening. Walk to dinner at the local community hall, welcomed by a group of Gamelan musicians. Along the way, stop at the home industry making brown sugar & coconut oil to see how the local people produce these products in the traditional way. Then, sit down for dinner prepared by the community and tuck into some Sasak delicacies while you watch a music performance.
Day 4 Day 4: Labuhan Pandan
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 4: Labuhan Pandan

Travel to Labuhan Pandan on the east coast of Lombok. This remote beachside location is less visited by tourists but the stretch of coastline is just as gorgeous as the hot spots. Along the way, visit the village of Pringgasela to learn the art of traditional weaving – a long-standing tradition and the main income source for the local people here. Have some lunch with the villagers, then continue to Masbagik – another Sasak village that’s known for hand-made pottery products. Almost no men are involved in the pottery process and you’ll get a chance to meet with the female artisans here as they show you some of the pottery and learn how to craft their work. Tonight, you’ll stay in bungalow accommodation amid the peace and quiet of the secluded east coast.
Day 5 Day 5: Labuhan Pandan
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 5: Labuhan Pandan

Take a trip out to the nearby coral reef today and go snorkelling off the boat. Stop in at a secluded island for lunch, with Mt Rinjani towering over Lombok in the background. Tonight, feast on a fresh seafood barbecue on the beach as the sun goes down – this really is island living at its best, so soak it all in!
Day 6 Day 6: Senaru/Gili Air
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 6: Senaru/Gili Air

Today, you’ll travel around the spiritual centre of Labuan Pandan and Mt Rinjani, the sleeping giant of this island. Make a stop at a beach to break the journey and enjoy the amazing mountain view, then visit a local cashew plantion before carrying on to Senaru. When you arrive, you’ll walk past Sendang Gile Waterfall to Tiu Kelep Waterfall, where you can take a refreshing dip to cool off. This afternoon, take a small boat to Gili Air. When you arrive on this idyllic island paradise, take in the breezy atmosphere and maybe walk along the white beaches as the sun goes down.
Day 7 Day 7: Gili Air
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 7: Gili Air

Gili Air is your oyster today and you’re completely free to relax or explore at your own pace. Maybe take another snorkelling trip or catch a ferry across to the other islands of Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno and work out for yourself which one has the better beaches. This evening, enjoy an optional group dinner on the beachfront as you reminisce on your adventure.
Day 8 Day 8: Gili Air
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Day 8: Gili Air

With no activities planned for today, you’re free to leave at any time after check-out. This doesn’t mean your adventure has to come to an end!
