THE MAGNIFICENT WATERFALLS OF CENTRAL LOMBOK

Lombok offers visitors stunningly beautiful natural landscapes and

some of the most popular tours for travellers include trekking through the jungles and rainforests to visit the island’s spectacular waterfalls.

Two very special waterfalls are located in Central Lombok, around an hour and a half drive from either Senggigi or Kuta.

These waterfalls are located in the village of Aik Berik in Central Lombok, about 27 km east of Mataram and less than one hour’s drive from the capital. The village is easily reached by car or motorbike and is set amongst pretty scenery, with green rice fields and verdant fruit orchards.

SURF’S UP LOMBOK!

It’s that time of the year again when the winds are blowing “just right” and the waves are calling all surfers to come on board!

Although inevitably compared to Bali, surfing in Lombok is a much more relaxed experience, without the crowded lineups and aggressive competition for waves.

The best part about surfing in Lombok is that the island offers something for everyone – from beginners to intermediate to surf pros!

LOMBOK WILDLIFE PARK

Since it first opened in 2017, Lombok Wildlife Park has become one of the most popular attractions in North Lombok – delighting guests and earning rave reviews on sites like TripAdvisor.

Formerly named “Lombok Elephant Park”, the wildlife sanctuary has grown over the past two years and now provides a safe home for 195 animals and 50 different species, many of which are protected. The Lombok Wildlife Park is the life-long dream of owners Fellicia and Ketut Suadika, two animal lovers who are dedicated to rescuing animals from cruel and dangerous situations.

Pak Ketut worked with animals at the Bali Bird Park for 25 years before deciding to pursue his passion and start his own animal sanctuary.
