This was a beautiful site and a great day excursion in Lombok. My wife and I went on this trip and we were picked up from our hotel slightly north of senggigi. The driver was very kind and punctual. The driver met us at our hotel at 8 am where he was waiting as he obviously arrived early to wait for us and pick us up. The waterfalls were absolutely beautiful. There were two waterfalls and you can go swimming in both. If you dont want to swim in either you dont have to. I will admit the waterfall water was mildly chilly compared to the beach water, still very pleasant. I would recommend wearing water sandals that you can hike in. Flip flops are second best choice. Sneakers and socks are not ideal as you have to walk through water at times during this 1 to max 2 hour trek if you walk slowly.
Irsyad was our tour guide and he was awesome. He was extremely kind, spoke basic English well, and gave us a wonderful tour. Some of the hike was a bit challenging for my wife as she is not an outdoors person and rarely treks in the woods. Irsyad helped her through the waters, down some rocks, over other logs. He made her (and my) trek wonderful. Highly recommend Irsyad as a tour guide. Irsyad also showed us a beautiful place to dine and eat lunch overlooking a magnificent view after our trek.
Cons: this was a 2 hour drive from our hotel and we weren't aware of this. Also the price for hotel pick up only included pick up and not drop off. If you want the driver to take you back to the hotel it cost another 400 rupiah ~ roughly 28$ US currency.
