What an experience!!! It was the most challenging thing we have done both physically and mentally but we did it! We couldn’t have done it with our incredible guide Adi who was an absolute joy from the first moment meeting him. Adi was welcoming, kind, funny, he was able to answer all our questions, held great knowledge of the mountain as worked it for many years. Adis English was great and we felt, safe, supported and cared for the entire journey. Our amazing porters Diwan and Davin were just insane, the way they can move up the mountain so fast in the heat with that weight! The food was great and they were behind the scenes making sure all our comforts were meet. We would truly encourage anyone doing Mt Rinjani to tip both the porters and your guide. I don’t think I have seen this level of dedication, strength and willingness in any job and these boys do this day in day out! We couldn’t recommend Adi enough, you will be in good hands!

Thank you very much to Adi for this 3D2N trek!

We spent 3 days in an amazing setting, enjoying the lake, hot springs and the summit of the volcano

Adi is a super friendly guide who builds usability, and adapts to all levels to help you hold on. I recommend eyes closed!!

Thanks also to the porters for all their work

Be careful, think about taking warm clothes for the evening and good shoes because the trails are difficult

Great experience at Mount Rinjani with Tony. Everything was perfect and well organized. Tony is smiling, very friendly and always there to motivate us. The meals were very good. The hike is demanding but the scenery is worth it. I recommend!

This is my second trip with Lombok-Indonesia and I have nothing but positive things to say about this company.

First, safety. In light of recent events on Rinjai, people are understandably worried about safety. This company is not associated with this incident. What I can say is, while the hike is challenging, the guides made sure to take every safety precaution possible. They are always in front/behind the group, within speaking and line of sight of all guests, and are trained to check for any potential signs of danger. There were dozens of occasions where the guides proactively warned me about any potential hazards, and they were constantly checking on our wellbeing. They also stock first aid and rescue supplies on every trip.

Second, the booking process is seamless and straightforward. You select your dates, packages and make a modest deposit to secure the permit from the Indonesian government. That’s all you need to secure your trekking dates.

Third, the logistics process. One of the managers (Hill/Hamdi) reach out to you well ahead of your Lombok trip with the itinerary, equipment to bring, and collect information to apply for your permits. It’s a very easy process and they are quick to respond to any inquiries.

Fourth, the homestay facilities are very good with an amazing infinity pool and waterfall view right outside of each private villa.

Fifth, the trekking itself. Our guides Toni and Ariadi were both outstanding. They immediately made us feel like we were family. They had plenty of stories, jokes, and interesting facts to make the trekking more enjoyable. The guides paid special attention to those in our group who thought they couldn’t reach the summit. We all made it in the end. And the food/facilities provided by the porters during the trek were above standard for Mt. Rinjani based on my observations.

If you’re adventerous, love the outdoors, and are willing to add some exercise into your holiday, book your Rinjani adventure with Lombok-Indonesia.org without hesitation.

We went on this tour at the first week of June 2025.

Short itinerary:

– 1 day before the hike begins they’ll pick you up from the hotel, transfer you to another accomondation to stay 1 night nearby the mountain (apprx. 1h by car)

– on the day the hike starts: they’ll drive you in a pick up car to a medical station to check your blood pressure (costs not included in the tour), after that they’ll bring you to the national park entrance registration to register that you enter the national park. that makes sense, because after the hike you have to return to this spot and they call your name to check if you are back. if all the organisational part is done they’ll bring you to the gate where the hike starts (approx 10 AM to 11 AM)

– there are check points where you can have a break, they are called Pos (position). Lunch is usually at Pos 2. From Gate to Pos 2 takes about 3hrs. We ate at approx. 2PM.

– it takes another 3.5 hrs from Pos 2 to the base camp. We reached it between 4PM and 5PM. After that there is nothing to do. Just to chill and eat dinner.

– 2nd part of the hike: Wake up at 2 AM to catch the sunrise in time at 6:20 AM. We reached it 2 mins before. we had a toast and nutella for breakfast. 2nd breakfast will be at approx. 9 to 10 AM at the base camp.

Hygiene: there is no shower. be prepared to do business in the wild behind black sqaured tend without roof.

Tent/food/chair etc: 3 porters will carry all the stuff – you don’t have to worry about anything. a porter carries about 25 to 35 kg.

we were a couple and the tour consists another couple. 4 people per tour is very nice.

the guide had the time to talk to us and it wasn’t crowded at all and he is watching us all the time to check if we are well.

I really appreciate the size of our tour. I saw many other tours where at least 8 people per tour was.

the hike: it was really hard, but doable. its about 2600hm you would do in 2 days. the hardest part was downhill though. the 2nd part of the hike was difficult since the path was more like sand that makes it hard to walk.

we tipped the porters and the guide additionally to show our appreciation.

Toni was the best guide ever! Lombok-Indonesia.org did it all for us, transportation from the harbor, home stay the night before, guide, meals, you name it. I wouldn’t choose anyone else but Toni to be our guide and our porters Bobby, Joe, and Tor were the best ever. Toni kept the atmosphere light and showed that he cared about our experience at every turn. I highly recommend choosing this company for your adventure up rinjani!

I book 3d/2n and it was absolutely amazing. We had great time. Food was delicious and I would definitely recommend this experience. Special thanks goes to our porters Cull, Fauzi, Dinn, Pinn and our guide Endiy! You are absolute legends guys, terima kasih!!

Amazing experience ! I booked the three days trek and that was a lovely time. It’s Well organize all te team is really kind and welcome, the food is good. Special mention for the porters Cull, Fauzi, Dinn and Pinn and Endiy and Amdiy our guide. I recommande it.

Rinjani is famous so must be the Lombok Indonesia trek.

We booked before our trip this trek (3D2N)and already get the feeling that’s the organisation was perfectly set : the communication was perfect, the explanations clear.

When we arrived at the port, everything was set. We put our brain off, just following the flow so well organised.

2 hours later, we arrived at the rental shop, met hill and get all the equipments we need. I can already say that you will need everything they do recommend (gloves, raincoat, walking stick) and that they are of very good quality.

We went to our accomodation, the room was clean and get explanations from Hill about the trek. Once again everything was clear, hill was patient, kind, and make us feel like he was really carefully about us to feel happy and confortable.

How can we start better ?

The next morning we met our team : ariadi, our guide, our two porters Door and Adim.

If I have any advice, ask for them to guide you.

Our experience was fantastic and without any doubt, thanks to their professionalism and company. They are kind, attentive, always smiling, they care about you, your well being. They are really good cooker, everything we had was delicious (by the way, the portion was big for us, so to avoid any waste, we ask them to have smaller quantity).

at the end, we felt that we made some friends more than being customer anymore. Making the goodbye harder than never.

Ask for Ariadi to have a wonderfull journey and trust the experience of hill, as an ancient guide and porter, for sure you can trust them 😉

This was an amazing and perfect experience

They are here to help you, you can rent missing equipments, they take care of you from the day before until the hotel drop off after the ascension

Hill is here to make sure that everything is going well for you

Our guide Ariadi is amazing, fun, careful

The best guide we could had have

A guide who became a friend

And we will also never forget our super heros, our porters Dour and Adim

Thanks again

Best team we could have to get the best experience ever

We will miss you
