These three Lombok private tours cover two very different ways to experience Mount Rinjani and one full-day island itinerary. One is a crater-rim trek from Senaru, one follows a summit-focused route from Sembalun, and one combines waterfalls, a traditional village, and a beach in a private vehicle.

Lombok booking checklist
- Check whether the included items match what you need, especially for trekking gear, meals, transport, and water.
- Review the listed exclusions before booking so you can plan for items such as tips, insurance, entrance fees, or lunch where they are not included.
- Because these are private experiences, the route style and pace matter more than a group schedule; choose the itinerary that matches your fitness level and sightseeing preferences.
