A non-trekking Lombok journey: Senggigi’s west coast, one car-free Gili Air stay, Senaru’s foothill waterfalls, and the south-coast beaches around Kuta. Rinjani summit trails and Segara Anak are deliberately outside this product.

Lombok Coast, Gili Air & Senaru is a 190 km one-way journey (mixed transport). It works best as 5–6 days; the plan below is the 6-day version for June, built from 280 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
