Lombok Tour For Cruise Passangers

A full and interesting day. Very well organised from pick up at tge Cruise terminal to drop off. The guide was very informative, explaining local history and significance of sights. We visited 3 villages: first to a local pottery, then an art and craft (weaving) showroom and exhibit, finally a traditional and functioning Sasak village. The tour included a substantial Indonesian lunch at Kuta Beach followed by a leisurely afternoon of swimming and relaxation at the secluded Tanjung Beach with white sand and beautifully calm, warm water, ideal for children and non-swimmers as well as those who are better swimmers. Ample provision for those who wanted to go surfing (you have to go out in a boat to catch the waves outside the cove). Would definitely recommend this a stress free relaxing way to sample Lombok Island.

We had such a lovely day, Moony couldn’t have been more helpful, took us to lovely places, we really enjoyed it and would recommend to others. A great guide, very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of good information. Big thanks.

Our guide was a lovely sincere man, who genuinely wanted to please us. Unfortunately, his English let him down in places, and he admitted himself he was quite inexperienced. Our chief complaint was that the tour was totally geared towards shopping , with every “cultural “ experience followed by a hard sell. By the end, in pouring rain which didn’t help, the whole group begged to be taken back to the port, rather than yet another shopping experience at a pottery and then a pearl shop. We also had an unscheduled stop at a beach not on the programme, where, as a captive audience, we were besieged by local traders. We would suggest that this tour would have been greatly improved by a stop at one of the major temples or other cultural sights, to balance out all the shopping.
