Don’t get us wrong, Bali is absolutely beautiful. It is a paradise island that offers some of Indonesia’s most breathtaking culture and nature. That said, much of Bali has been adapted for tourists and so if you are coming back year after year, you may not feel like you are truly getting to know Indonesian culture. Head on a fast boat over to Lombok, however, and you will experience a whole new flavor of the mysterious country. Here are five reasons to go against the grain and visit Lombok.

It’s Cheaper

Lombok is less touristy than Bali which means hotels and homestays are available for a fraction of the price. Food and amenities are also significantly cheaper and so if you are traveling on a budget, this may be the push you need to switch up Bali for Lombok.

Gili Islands

Gili Islands are reason enough on their own to visit Lombok. The three islands all have different personalities but share a paradise feel. White sands, turquoise water and plenty of turtles put the Gili beaches in a league of their own.

The Surfing

The surfing in Bali’s Kuta beach is great, but the surfing in Kuta, Lombok, is even better. The beaches are also less busy, so you can enjoy surfing without fear of bumping into other tourists.

The Authentic Culture Is More Accessible

The Lombok locals are less used to tourists than the Bali locals. This means they are often curious by travelers and want to share their culture. Balinese culture is incredible, but it can sometimes be difficult to access outside of the context of a tour you pay for.

Pink Beaches, Orangutangs, Waterfalls

Both Bali and Lombok contain many wonders. If you have been to Bali several times, you may be tempted to head over to Lombok to experience different kinds of landscapes. In addition to rice fields, waterfalls, and great snorkeling, you can visit one of the world’s only pink beaches and hang out with orangutans in Indonesia’s conservation park.

Bali is great but Lombok is an Indonesian island with just as much to offer and is far more affordable. Here are some of the once-in-a-lifetime experiences you can have on Indonesia’s most underrated island.

Climb Mount Rinjani

Many consider the Mount Rinjani climb to be the highlight of their trip to Indonesia. It offers incredible views of Lombok and you can peek inside the second largest volcano in the country.

Explore Tiu Kelep Waterfall

Lombok contains many hidden gems and gorgeous waterfalls. Tiu Kelep is the most popular of the bunch and for good reason. The views will take your breath away.

Snorkel at the Gili Islands

Of the Gili Islands, Gili Air and Gili Meno are perhaps the best for snorkeling. Expect to see blue and green coral reefs, underwater statues and gigantic sea turtles.

Bathe In Air Kalak Hot Springs

After climbing Mount Rinjani, you can soothe your muscles in the Air Kalak hot springs. The waters are believed to have medicinal properties thanks to the volcanic minerals in the water.

Visit Lombok Wildlife Park

Lombok wildlife park is an intimate animal sanctuary where visitors can get up close with elephants and orangutans. Many guests describe the park as a “once in a lifetime” experience.
