Season: Apr 1-Dec 31
Our Mt. Rinjani Summit Trek is our most popular trek. It’s a 2 day / 1 night trek that is best for adventurous travelers who want the best view Lombok has to offer. This hike is the fastest way to get to the summit and back down and is specifically for travelers on a tight schedule.
This journey starts at your homestay in Senaru Village in North Lombok. You will stay one night at our homestay where dinner is served to you. You can adventure to nearby waterfalls in the evening if you’d like as well as see many monkeys.
In the morning, you will have breakfast & coffee at your homestay. You will then take a 1 hour drive to the town of Sembalun. The drive is a memory in itself as you ride in the back of a truck, wind in your hair, through the villages of Lombok.
You will begin your hike from Sembalun. Half way up the mountain we will have a filling lunch cooked by your porters. After that, we continue to the crater rim, which we will reach by mid-day. We will spend the evening at the crater rim where we will have dinner.
The following day, we wake up a 2:00am for a light breakfast and begin our journey to the summit around 2:30am. This is the most difficult part of the hike and will take a total of 4 hours to reach the summit. Once at the summit, you will notice that it is very cold! Most travelers only stay at the summit for a short time before decending.
The decent is much shorter and will only take 1-1/2 hours to return to the crater rim. You will then have a larger breakfast and take a short rest. After this, you will begin your decent back to the bottom of the mountain. We will stop for lunch at the halfway point, and then continue to Sembalun.
Once in Sembalun, you will take a truck ride back to the homestay to meet back up with your driver, who will take you your next destination.
From the port or airport, you will be brought to spend the night at our homestay. During the busy season we offer multiple locations to stay.
Waroeng Senaru is our preferred homestay. All of the rooms have air conditioning. The accommodations are basic but each includes their own bathroom with warm showers & wifi. You can choose to eat from the small menu of local dishes they make. This homestay is also 3 minutes from the entrance of the waterfalls, making it very convenient.
Villa Bamboo is a more natural experience in bamboo huts. The location is beautiful and rooms are cooler at night because of their location higher on the hill. There is no air-conditioning, but there is wifi, a restaurant, and a wonderful place to watch the sunset. Walking to the waterfalls is not difficult and you are right next door to the Senaru Traditional Village.

Travelers usually arrive an Bangsal Harbor via Bali or Gili Islands. Some travelers may arrive via Lombok airport. In both situations, we offer transportation to our homestay in Senaru as part of your package. You will arrive at our homestay and have dinner. You will be able to enjoy beautiful views from our outdoor dining area as well as watch monkeys right below you. You can also walk to Tiu Kelep waterfall which is only 20 minutes by foot. The trail is right in front of our homestay.

You will start your day with breakfast and coffee or tea. You will start with a 1 hour drive to Sembalun. This day you will hike all day until late afternoon, stopping for lunch in the middle. You will arrive at the crater rim in the late afternoon where your porters will already be setting up camp. You will spend the evening enjoying the views from the crater rim & have dinner. You sleep at the crater rim.

On the 3rd day, you will wake up at 2:00am for a quick breakfast and then hike to the summit starting at around 2:30am. You will reach the toughest part of the trek at around 5:00am, which is a rocky accent to the summit. The footing here is loose, but you are not in danger of falling off the mountain. It is just strenuous because of the loose, gravel like rocks. You reach the summit just before sunrise, and enjoy it from the peak for about 20-30 mins. After summiting, you will come back to crater rim for a big breakfast and then start to descend the mountain. If traveling to Sembalun, the decent is mildly steep. If traveling to Senaru, most of the day is through thick rainforest. We will stop mid-day for lunch, and then continue after lunch. Once at the bottom of the mountain, you will be driven back to the port or airport. If you plan to stay for one of our other adventures, you will be brought back to our homestay in Senaru.
Season: Apr 1-Dec 31
Helpful and attentive guide with well-organized trip from start to finish, proper communication throughout the journey. Yot, our main hiking guide, is a superman, helping all 3 girls getting up to the summit safely. We really appreciate his kindness and thoughtfulness. He even went over and beyond to help us to take so many amazing photos and videos

Overall amazing experience with Yot and team. Very attentive and super fun guide made the tough hike a lot more enjoyable . We had to make some changes to our trip and it was well accommodated. Would recommend this tour!
The misson was to climb Rinjani volcano. The organisation did a great job of preparing me and the others in the group before we set off and while up the mountain. There was plentiful food and drink for the whole time which was carried up by porters who are impressively fit! Adi our guide helpful and fitted right in with the bunch of 5 guys who formed the group. The volcano and lake in the caldera is stunning making all the effort worthwhile. We were all dropped off at our next respective hotels at the end of the trip. I will use them again
I climbed rinjani with my girlfriend and we had an amazing time. Our tour guide Adi was great – very helpful and knowledgable about the area and made sure we made it to camp/ summit comfortably on time. The team of porters working with him were amazing, cooking delicious food and setting up our camp before we arrived. The homestay the night before the hike was very comfortable too.
I did the 2D/1N trek. We had an amazing trek to Mount Rinjani with our guide Adi. He was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Everything was well organized – pick-up, drop-off, and the trek itself. Highly recommend this tour and Adi as a guide!
Had the best time climbing Rinjani with Lombok Indonesia. Our guide Toni was incredible, always super helpful and making sure we enjoyed the trek. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun challenge with the best guide.
Had an amazing time!! Everything was super well organized. The lead guide made sure all questions were answered beforehand and we were well prepared. The trek was hard but so worth it, amazing views. Aji, our guide, made sure everything was well taken care of and that we had the best time. Made the experience so much better. Also very friendly porters (Ronnie) who made sure we had plenty of food and drinks. Would highly recommend this company, also for solo travelers!!!
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!
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!
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.
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
This trip was honestly incredible! Everything was amazing from Hill sorting everything out perfectly to the incredible guides and porters. Our guide Tony was one of the kindest people I’ve met and constantly makes sure you’re ok 24/7. The food was amazing and they catered for an allergy as much as possible and always supplied water and food. I’d recommend this company and trek to anyone, the views were unreal!
The trip was amazing and well organized. Everything was taken care of and the view was indescribable. A special thanks to Sting, our guide, who made this trip unforgettable.
We had an amazing 2D/1N trip to Mt. Rinjani. Our guide Endiy did the tour with a lot of enthusiasm, which made our trip much easier. Also our porters Cull and Dinn provided us with everything we wanted. From setting up camp to making lovely dinners/lunch’s. The views are amazing and we had an amazing trip! We would recommend this to everyone.
It was an amazing and beautiful experience! Thanks to Hill, who organized everything perfectly.
Plus, thanks to the best guide, Yot, and his brothers (our porters) Andre and Ejan, we literally had nothing to care about but climbing.
The food was delicious, our tent were perfectly placed, and more importantly, their kindness was really enjoyable.
Thanks a lot for everything!
Luna & Nicolas
Toni was the best guide we could’ve asked for on our Mount Rinjani hike. His “magic backpack” always had snacks, endless cookies and drinks to keep us going, and he was incredibly supportive—helping not just our group but other hikers too. I wasn’t sure I could make it to the summit, but Toni encouraged me all the way up and down. Kind, positive, and always prepared—he truly made the experience unforgettable.
We recently completed the 2-day, 1-night Rinjani trek, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our amazing guide, Toni. He was wonderful not just to us, but to everyone on the mountain—other hikers, guides, and porters alike. His vibrant spirit was contagious, always keeping us laughing with his jokes while ensuring we stayed safe and comfortable. And let’s not forget his magical big green box full of cookies—Toni was like the snack wizard of Rinjani, keeping us fueled and motivated with endless cookie surprises along the way. He truly went above and beyond in every aspect. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide—he made this experience one we’ll never forget!
Among the countless providers, we have chosen this organization.
In addition to an individual shuttle service to our provided accommodation, there was a detailed explanation of the trip in advance. A contact person is available 24 hours a day.
We did the trip ourselves with guide Endi and the porters Cull and Dinn.
We don’t have a comparison but the three were fantastic. They always provided a great atmosphere and took care of us around the clock.
The porters have mastered the way to the camp with slops and all the camping equipment.
The tents were set up very quickly and the food prepared for us was very elaborate, fresh and delicious.
Care has always been taken to ensure that we have enough water and that no garbage remains.
We can highly recommend the Lombok-Indonesia.org as an organization in general and especially Endi, Cull and Dinn.
Thank you to our guide Adi (Ariadi) and our porters Swan and Dodu for an amazing experience conquering Mount Rinjani! Adi was really helpful and very friendly, keeping us going when the going got tough. All the meals were delicious and high-energy, giving us the fuel for the next section of the Trek. Thanks to Dodu and Swan. The trek itself was wonderful, such a beautiful volcano to climb, the crater rim and lake is spectacular, and watching the sunrise from the summit after a very tiring nighttime climb under the stars was an amazing experience. Thank you to everyone at Lombok-Indonesia for such a lovely experience!
Our guide Sting was great, patient with everyone and really friendly. Food was great and trip was organised really well by Hill and his team
Our guide Toni was amazing, very cheerful and fun person! Made us feel comfortable right from the get go. A memorable experience for sure
This company is organised, helpful and their communication is great before, during and after the hike. I recommend this company if you want to do this hike. However, I suggest anyone interested in doing the hike is fit and has experience in hiking as it is very challenging, especially the final ascent to the summit. The views are spectacular and unforgettable and worth it!
Sting, Ari and Ricki were great guides and porters! They were supportive and helpful at every stage, always smiling, happy and up for a chat. Sting ensured our safety while Ari and Ricki provided sizeable, delicious and nutritious meals and carried all our gear- thanks guys! The equipment was in good condition and we were very thankful to have chairs to sit on- such a luxury item when hiking.
Thanks team for a great adventure on Mount Rinjani.
Hill was a great guide and got us up safe. All gear supplied was almost brand new and hood quality. Food was good also, thanks Hill.
it’s a good place to vacation that i recommend
Our guide Toni and the porters made our Rinjani trek unforgettable! Fun, motivating, and incredibly thoughtful, he ensured we felt safe, inspired, and well cared for throughout the journey. From sharing fascinating stories to helping us capture the best views, Toni’s dedication and passion for the mountain truly stood out. The porters cook amazing foods too! Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an incredible adventure!
Amazing hike, the guide Toni was an awesome guide, funny and very good leadership, humankind and easy to talk and laugh with! He is generous and has good communication along the trip! Thanks again!
Incredible Experience! We are lead by guide Yot who was knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. The views lived up to all expectations and we were able to appreciate them because everything was taken care of for us! Would 100% recommend!
I booked the 2 day 1 night summit trek and had an excellent time. I was a solo traveller and felt so welcomed by Hill at the homestay the night before. I felt well informed and breasted the night before with plentey of opportunity to ask questions. My guide Yot was amazing. He was great company during the walk and kept the whole group entertained, motivated and informed about the hike. The porters also were excellent and made some incredible food. We were very well fed the entire time. The hike was difficult but everyone involved helped me feel super supported.
Max and I had 2 exceptional days!
We are used to treks but this one was incredible. The human experience is part of the adventure.
The porters do a great job. They prepare the tents, the meals, always with a smile!
Our guide Endiy was very attentive and very funny! He was able to answer all our questions about the culture of Lombok… and he took us to the summit! The sunrise is memorable.
Be careful, you have to be a good walker and used to high mountains walking!
Thank you soo much!!
very good service, friendly and trustworthy
Amazing experience ! We would like to give a special thanks to Endiy and his team! Endiy is probably the best guide we could dream of having !They take care of everything and the meals are really good ! The climb was great from start to finish, a real team with an incredible atmosphere. If you want to do Mount Rinjani, then come hike with Hill, Endiy and their teams !
5 stars rating! Thank you Endiy and his team! Best guide ever! They prepare every meal for us and all taste very good, help carrying our stuff, motivate us and always make us laught. This is a team! We will not make it to the summit without anyone of them! Thank you very much! “Endiy, are you ok?” “Energy!” Lots of memories! Come and hike with Hill and Endiy and their teams!
I just completed a 2-day, 1-night hike of the breathtaking Mount Rinjani, and I can’t express how incredible this experience was, largely thanks to our fantastic guide, Endiy! From the moment we started, it was clear that this tour company was both professional and well-organized, ensuring every detail was taken care of.
Endiy was not only friendly and funny but also spoke English exceptionally well, which made our interactions enjoyable and informative. His expertise in navigation was impressive, guiding us safely through the stunning landscapes. You could tell he was passionate about the mountain and eager to share his knowledge with us.
The food we received was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that kept us fueled for the hike. We were treated to an abundance of fresh fruit and snacks along the way, which were much appreciated after a challenging trek!
A huge shoutout to the porters as well—they were incredibly kind, helpful, and impressively strong! Their support made our journey much smoother, and their positive energy added to the overall experience.
The hike itself was a perfect blend of fun and challenge, with breathtaking views at every turn. If you’re considering a hike up Mount Rinjani, I wholeheartedly recommend going with this company and specifically requesting Endiy as your guide. It was an unforgettable adventure, and I can’t wait to come back and explore more!
many thanks to our guide toni for the best trip up rinjani! couldn’t have done it without him. so positive, happy and service minded. I really recommend going on the trip with him!
We did the 2D1N trek. Everything was beautifully prepared. Homestay very good!
Our Guide Iot helped us a lot and explained things about this mountain and the culture in Lombok! We laughed a lot and thanks to our porters, we had no problems!
We highly recommend Hill, Iot and the entire team!
We heard that other hikers via other agencies couldn’t chat with the guide or that the meals were instant soups, not the case here!
Thank you for this unforgettable stay
Kim (Milea) and Dylan
Did 2D1N with Sting as my guide. With Sting’s beautiful singing voice, the ascent on the first day was a breeze, he picked a perfect pace for our group and we arrived at the rim at a great time and still quite fresh. The porters made wonderful meals of fruit and rice/noodles on the way, even a delicious curry for dinner at the rim. At 2am the porters made us breakfast and off we went for the summit, the climb was very intense but totally worth it. Highly recommend
We chose the 2D1N trekking with ascent to the summit. We were a group of 4 guys and we were helped and supported throughout by Tony, our Super Guide, and the porters who fed us with great delicacies!
We had everything we needed and the equipment was very clean!
Tony was an enthusiastic Guide, great local connoisseur and great shoulder to reach the top!
It couldn’t have gone better! We are very happy! These are views that will always remain in our hearts!
We chose the formula 2 days 1 night, the trek is difficult but quite doable if you are a bit sporty. The view of the sunrise from the top is beautiful and if the weather is clear the camp offers a great view too.
Our Yot Guide was great: it will put you in a good mood with its humor and will reassure you or give advice if necessary. Our 4 porters were also adorable and regaled us with every meal.
Many thanks to the whole team!
we spent 2 days and 1 night on mount rinjani, it was an incredible experience. we left with our 4 porters, they cooked very good meals during the whole trip. we also met our guide Yot, passionate about his job and this mountain. he was very kind and always attentive to us. he told us the legends related to the volcano and the village of Sembalun. he was also very attentive to the needs of each person to be able to help everyone in difficult times. we had a very good time because of him we sincerely thank him and his team
We had a fantastic tour with a great group. Our guide Endiy was very friendly and funny and looked after us very well the whole time. We felt very well looked after and safe. The porters Dinn, Pinn and Ham took care of all the food and provided us with the best culinary delights.
We did a 2D1N trip up to the summit of Mt Rinjiani with our guide, Endiy. The strong winds made the ascension extremely difficult but we made it just in time for sunrise! Great experience and great guide. Would highly recommend Lombok Indonesia and Endiy’
We were lucky enough to score tour guide Gutour (I think that’s how it’s spelt) and he went above and beyond to make our 2D1N trek amazing, always making us smile with his jokes and helping us whenever we needed. At one point he even carried my bag through a difficult part of the trek, such a legend!
While I found the trek personally pretty difficult (and wished I had trained prior!) Gutour made it light hearted and fun – pointing out amazing things about the mountain and I’m so glad we had him!!
Best trip ever! We did the 2D1N to summit and it was amazing. It was really hard, but the view and experience is totally worth it. Yot was the best guide ever! Really supportive and helpful. The porters were really nice also, and the food was perfect . Overall 12/10 really recommand!
Awesome experience all round, from the pick up at bangsal ferry terminal right to the summit and back again! Special shout out to Yot ( our guide for trek) and crew for his knowledge of the mountain and surrounds, and for keeping us smiling on the arduous summit ascent!
Would highly recommend.
Many thanks to Guide Endy and the 2 porters. They do a tremendous job of making our experience unique.
The trek is physically hard but the view at the top is worth it and the scenery is breathtaking throughout the ascent. The whole team took care of us from start to finish without leaving anything to chance, I highly recommend!
My two teenage boys and I did the 2D1N experience to the summit of Mt Rinjani with Hill and his team, and we had a wonderful time. Organization from back home was super smooth and friendly, with the team available 24/7. The description of the trip was very accurate and we had no surprises. We were given precise instructions on what equipment to bring along and got a good sense of the level of difficulty of the trekking (it requires some grit!). They took care of all aspects of the trip, including the administrative ones, and all we had to worry about was trekking. The team on the ground, led by Toni, was awesome and caring, flexible and always making sure that we had all we needed and were having a great time. Highly recommended for trekkers with moderate/good experience. Just don’t expect to be alone out there, the route is kind of busy.
Amazing service from Hill and his boys! We were family, four people, and had a two days summit trip. Everything was prepared without any problem, the organization was absolutely perfect. Our guide was Jun, really experienced person, nice, helpful and communicative. Everything was supported by three porters, again very great people, who were able to prepare first class food, build tents, etc. When I planned this event my opinion was that the price for one person is quite high – when I saw the reality, I have to say that it is not so cheap (especially for the group of 4:)), but it is absolutely reasonable and you are receiving the fair value. Thank you very much guys, it was one of the best travelling experience for us!
