Lombok, located just east of Bali, is a pristine island paradise renowned for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, world-class beaches, and the legendary Gili Islands. As one of Indonesia's most captivating destinations, Lombok offers an authentic escape for travelers seeking natural beauty without the crowds. Bali Premium Trip provides a variety of Lombok tour packages tailored to suit all kinds of travelers.
The Gili Islands, Trawangan, Meno, and Air are three tropical paradises just off Lombok's northwest coast. Known as the turtle capital of the world, these car free islands offer crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and unforgettable snorkeling experiences.
Indonesia's second-highest volcano rises 3,726 meters above Lombok, featuring a stunning crater lake called Segara Anak. Trekking to the rim or summit rewards adventurers with breathtaking panoramic views and one of Southeast Asia's most iconic hiking experiences.
A stunning crescent-shaped bay featuring two distinct types of sand—fine powder on one side and unique pepper-grain texture on the other. The calm turquoise waters and dramatic hillside views make Tanjung Aan one of Lombok's most photographed beaches.
A sweeping 1.5-kilometer stretch of pristine white sand embraced by gentle rolling hills. Famous for its calm, beginner-friendly waves, Selong Belanak is the perfect spot for learning to surf or simply enjoying the untouched beauty of South Lombok.
Twin majestic waterfalls nestled at the foothills of Mount Rinjani near Senaru village. Trek through lush tropical forest to discover the thundering 31-meter Sendang Gile cascade and the mystical Tiu Kelep, where locals believe the waters hold eternal youth.
Experience authentic Lombok culture in traditional Sasak villages like Sade, Ende, and Sukarara. Witness centuries-old weaving traditions creating intricate songket textiles, explore unique thatched-roof architecture, and connect with the warm hospitality of Lombok's indigenous people.
Not to be confused with Bali's Kuta, this charming coastal village serves as the gateway to South Lombok's most spectacular beaches. Surrounded by dramatic hills and pristine bays, Kuta Lombok offers world-class surfing, fresh seafood, and an authentic laid-back atmosphere.
Escape to the Gili Islands, three stunning tropical paradises that have captivated travelers from around the world. Just a short boat ride from Lombok's coast, these car-free islands offer pristine white sand beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and some of the best snorkeling and diving in Indonesia. Bali Premium Trip provides exclusive Gili Islands tour packages with private speedboat transfers, ensuring you experience these magical islands in comfort and style.
The largest and most vibrant of the three islands, Gili Trawangan, affectionately known as "Gili T" combines stunning beaches with excellent dining, beach clubs, and legendary sunset views. Perfect for travelers who want tropical beauty alongside a lively social atmosphere. World-class diving sites and abundant sea turtles make every underwater excursion unforgettable.
The smallest and most serene of the Gili Islands, Gili Meno is the ultimate romantic escape. Pristine beaches remain blissfully uncrowded, making it a favorite for honeymooners and couples seeking privacy. Don't miss the famous underwater sculpture garden, NEST Gili, and the island's renowned turtle sanctuary where you can swim alongside these gentle creatures.
Gili Air offers the perfect balance between tranquility and activity. This charming island combines the relaxed pace of Gili Meno with enough restaurants, yoga studios, and beach bars to keep you engaged. The island's eastern shore provides spectacular sunrise views, while its western beaches offer calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling with turtles.
The Gili Islands are renowned as the turtle capital of the world. Swim alongside green sea turtles, explore vibrant coral gardens, and discover diverse marine life at famous spots like Turtle Point, Shark Point, and the underwater sculptures of Gili Meno.
Experience all three islands in one day with our private speedboat island-hopping tour. Enjoy the unique character of each Gili, from the vibrant energy of Trawangan to the peaceful shores of Meno and the balanced charm of Air.
Watch spectacular sunsets from Gili Trawangan's famous sunset point, where the sky transforms into brilliant shades of orange and pink behind Mount Agung. Stay for evening beach dining and the island's renowned laid-back nightlife.
Indulge in beachfront spa treatments, sunrise yoga sessions, and tranquil afternoons swinging in a hammock over turquoise waters. The Gili Islands offer the perfect setting for complete relaxation and rejuvenation.

Pesan SekarangCrossing from Bali to Lombok by private boat means chartering your own vessel across the Lombok Strait: you set the departure time, the boat carries only your party, and the route can thread the Gili Islands on the way. Bali Premium Trip arranges private crossings on a written-quote basis — the strait is a serious piece of water and the right vessel depends on your group size, luggage and season — while our published day-charter fleet, starting at USD 990.90 per day, covers the Bali side of any combined itinerary.
Public options cross on their schedule; a private boat crosses on yours. Morning departures take the calmest sea state, the captain reads the strait on the day, and the plan flexes — a swim stop off Nusa Lembongan on the way out, a slow pass along Gili Trawangan’s west side before landing. For couples, the crossing itself becomes the event: a sailing pace instead of a fast dash, deck lunch mid-strait, and Rinjani’s silhouette growing off the bow for the last hour. It is the difference between transport and a sea day that happens to end on another island.
| Factor | Public ferry | Scheduled fast boat | Private charter |
|---|---|---|---|
| Departure time | Fixed, infrequent | Fixed daily schedule | You choose |
| Fellow passengers | Full public load | Every seat sold | Your party only |
| Route | Port to port | Set stops | Bespoke — Gilis, swim stops, photo passes |
| Luggage & gear | Handled in bulk | Limited allowance | Loaded once, watched by your crew |
| Comfort | Basic | Crowded in high season | Shaded deck, crew service |
| Price basis | Ticket per person, varies by operator | Ticket per person, varies by operator | Written quote per vessel |
We deliberately do not print ticket prices for the public options — they change by operator and season. For the private crossing you receive one written figure covering the vessel, crew and fuel, before you commit.
The Gili Islands sit directly on the crossing line, which makes them the natural halfway act. The proven shape: depart South Bali in the morning, snorkel stop mid-route, land at Gili Trawangan for a barefoot lunch, then a short evening hop to Lombok proper — or stay a night on the Gilis and let the boat collect you. The full Gili-specific format, including season and sea-state guidance for the strait, is covered on our private boat Bali to Gili Trawangan page; November typically brings the calmest crowded-season water, while December to February carries genuine cancellation risk that a private captain can work around by re-timing your departure.
The tour packages above cover Lombok’s land side — Kuta Mandalika, the south-coast beaches and the Gili day formats. Arriving by private boat simply upgrades the arrival: the desk that books your crossing also lines up the Lombok driver, the villa check-in and the return leg, whether that is the same boat waiting or a scheduled flight out of Praya. One thread, both islands.
Treat the crossing as a sea day, not a transfer. Soft bags stow better than hard cases; keep a light layer handy because open water is cooler than the beach; and load cameras before departure — the strait’s volcano-to-volcano panorama, Agung astern and Rinjani ahead, is the crossing’s quiet reward. Motion-sensitive travellers should book the morning slot and say so at booking, so the captain plans the gentlest line across.
Start with the Bali yacht charter hub to see the fleet and published day rates, then tell the desk your dates and group size for a crossing quote. For multi-day sailing east of Lombok — Sumbawa and beyond — our sister brand’s boat charter fleet for eastern Indonesia takes over where the Bali day boats stop.
Yes. Private charters cross the Lombok Strait on your schedule, with the vessel, crew and fuel covered by a single written quote based on your group size and season.
Crossings are quoted in writing per vessel rather than per seat. As a reference point, our published Bali day-charter rates start at USD 990.90 per day; strait crossings are quoted on top of that basis for the distance and vessel required.
Yes — the Gilis sit on the crossing line. Most private itineraries add a snorkel stop and a Gili Trawangan lunch, or overnight on the Gilis with the boat collecting you next day.
The dry season generally offers the steadiest water, and November typically combines calm seas with lighter traffic. December to February brings the highest chance of weather delays, which a private departure can often work around by re-timing.
With the right vessel and a morning departure, yes. Your captain holds absolute authority on go or no-go, child-size life jackets are carried, and the schedule flexes if the strait says wait an hour.
Yes — drivers, villa check-ins, the Mandalika and south-coast tours above, and your return by boat or by flight are all arranged by the same desk that books the crossing.
