This 9-day adventure takes you to unspoilt Indonesian islands and beaches that are only just being discovered by western travellers. There are limited western amenities and very few restaurants and backpacker bars, so this is a truly off-the-beaten track experience. Often, your tour group will be the only tourists on the islands – an amazing privilege!

Itinerary

Day 1: Kuta, Lombok. Enjoy your surroundings and relax at the accommodation's pool before meeting up with the rest of the group for a welcome meal this evening.

Day 2: Sasak Village. Discover local culture this morning with a visit to a local Sasak village. Afterwards, you’ll go on an afternoon trek through the beautiful jungle, stopping at the local falls to take a dip in the cool waters.

Day 3: Lombok Beach Combing. Spend the day checking out Lombok's sublime beaches. Lie back on the sands and soak up the sun, then cool off with a dip in the sea, or get involved with surfing or snorkeling.

Day 4: Lombok to Sumbawa. Today you’ll explore further east, taking a ferry from Lombok to the golden shores of Sumbawa. Spend the afternoon relaxing on this quiet, unspoilt island.

Day 5: Moyo Island. Heading out to sea again, you’ll make the journey to Moyo, where you'll spend an incredible day touring the island with a local guide. Discover picturesque beaches, beautiful forests, and gorgeous waterfalls that very few western tourists have ever laid eyes on!

Day 6: Satonda Island. Board a private live-aboard boat for 3 days of sailing adventures. Sail to Satonda Island and stop off for a snorkelling session to take a closer look at some incredible underwater marine life. Later on, enjoy a delicious dinner on board the boat before bedding down in your group dorm.

Day 7: Padar Island. Make your way over to Padar Island and step ashore onto Pink Beach, aptly named for its unusual pink sand. Hike up to Padar viewpoint for some exceptional views.

Day 8: Komodo Island & Flores. Enjoy a hearty breakfast on deck this morning before jumping into the sea and spending a morning swimming and snorkelling with manta rays. Then drop anchor at Komodo Island and find the island's famous resident dragons. Enjoy a farewell group meal this evening.

Day 9: Farewell. Day 9 marks the end of this incredible Indonesian island tour, so check out of the accommodation and make your way to the airport (the closest airport is Labuan Bajo, around 20 minutes' drive from the hotel). Your tour guide will be able to help you book transport.
