About Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s 4th most populous country situated in Southeast Asia, comprising over 17,000 islands stretched along the equator, of which only 8,000 are inhabited. As you would expect from the largest archipelago on the planet, Indonesia has an incredibly diverse landscape and culture, with over 300 languages spoken, the world’s 2nd largest tropical forest, 130 active volcanoes and 1,000’s of spectacular temples spread across the islands. Most tourists flock to Bali, the hub for luxury resorts, stunning beaches and excellent surf breaks. The capital, Jakarta has great shopping spots and the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, whilst the Gili Islands offer a buzzing nightlife tailored for backpackers. Given the sheer quantity of islands in Indonesia, travelling by ferry is the best way to get around. It has an extensive ferry network offering domestic routes to and from some of the most popular destinations in the country, as well as international crossings to Singapore, which are all operated by a wide selection of ferry companies.

About Lombok

Lombok is an Indonesian island situated between Bali to the west and West Nusa Tenggara to the east. Although often overlooked due to the popular island next door, Lombok’s exquisite beaches, fascinating landmarks, including the country’s second highest mountain, and top quality surf easily rival those found in Bali. Also, with less commercially developed tourist areas, it offers a far more peaceful experience, too. The Gili Islands lying just off Lombok’s northwest coast are a must visit. They have a uniquely laid-back atmosphere and a vibrant nightlife, with lovely beaches and fantastic snorkelling spots as well. Travelling by ferry is the most convenient way to explore the islands in the Indonesian archipelago. From Lombok’s west coast, there are numerous routes across the Lombok Strait to Bali.
