Lombok & the Gili Islands, Indonesia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, sitting just east of Bali and offering a quieter, less-developed alternative with rugged landscapes dominated by the active volcano Mount Rinjani — one of Indonesia's highest peaks and a popular multi-day trekking destination. Off its northwest coast, the three small Gili Islands — Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air — are renowned for their turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and some of the best snorkelling and diving in Southeast Asia, with sea turtles a common sighting. Gili T draws a lively backpacker and party crowd, while Gili Meno and Gili Air offer a more laid-back, romantic atmosphere. Together, Lombok and the Gilis attract travellers seeking a blend of adventure, beach life, and island-hopping.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Lombok & the Gili Islands, Indonesia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
