Who is it for?
Couples on a short escape, brief stays, families or travelers who want to discover the essence of Lombok in three days without wasting time.
Day 1
The power of the land
Waterfalls & nature
Leave the coast behind and move into Lombok’s deep green interior, through countryside roads, jungle, waterfalls and the foothills of Rinjani.
Your local driver-guide meets you at your hotel. You leave the busy areas behind for the island’s inland roads. You enjoy the landscape while the team handles the route.
Arrival in the waterfall area. You walk down beneath the canopy. You hear the roar before you see the water. You discover Lombok’s waterfalls at the right pace, with time to walk, observe and breathe.
You take a break around a simple meal, in a local atmosphere, with views over the green landscapes of the island’s interior.
Depending on timing, weather and your pace, additional stops may be added: traditional market, pottery, weaving, rice fields or countryside roads.
You are dropped off at your accommodation, with a first day already rich in images, freshness and sensations.
“Beautiful waterfalls and a great guide who knows many words in French. We had a good laugh. I came early in the morning and was alone at the waterfalls! It took me 2 hours by scooter from Bangsal Harbor.”
— Pauline L., Google Maps review
Day 2
Between Sasak culture and southern beaches
Southern Lombok & local culture
A day of contrasts: Sasak traditions, villages, scenic roads, wild beaches and the light of the south.
Head toward Southern Lombok. The road changes, the landscapes open up, and the island becomes sunnier.
Possible stop in a Sasak village, a weaving workshop or a pottery workshop. The goal is not to tick off a visit, but to better understand the island, its gestures, homes, rhythms and history.
Head toward the southern beaches: Kuta Lombok, Mawun, Selong Belanak, Tanjung Aan or other stops depending on conditions. Light sand, hills, open bays and coastal roads: the scenery changes completely.
Depending on your wishes and the light, the day adjusts: swimming, viewpoint, photo stop, coffee break, surf option or one last moment facing the ocean.
A day full of contrasts, between local culture, open roads and endless horizons.
Day 3
The great blue
Gili Islands & snorkeling
A day suspended between sky and sea: boat, clear waters, snorkeling, possible turtles and island rhythm.
Your transfer is organized to the boat departure area according to your accommodation. The local team coordinates the timing to avoid poor combinations of road, port and schedule.
Mask, snorkel, boat, clear sea. You explore the planned spots according to weather, current, visibility and the day’s crowds. Possible turtles, coral and tropical fish: the day is built around the sea.
Lunch break or free time depending on the planned organization. You take time to slow down, walk, swim or simply watch the colors change.
Navigation between islands, final snorkeling spots or a calmer moment on the sand. The program remains flexible according to your energy, the sea and the group’s pace.
Return by boat, then transfer back to your hotel. If you are departing afterward, the organization can be adapted to your timing.
The Macadamia experience
A local driver-guide, an air-conditioned vehicle and an organization designed around your pace.
Roads, schedules, boat, weather, travel times: the local team adjusts the program to keep each day realistic.
The details of included costs are specified before validation: transport, boat, entrance fees, parking or local fees depending on the selected offer.
Pick-up and drop-off at your hotel each day. You enjoy the journey; we coordinate the logistics.
