Port of Call - Lombok - Indonesia
Lombok is a circular island found in the West Nusa Tenggara province of Indonesia and offers the perfect exotic escape for cruisers.
Stretching 80 kilometres from east to west and around the same from north to south, you will find endless fields of rice, tobacco, coconuts, coffee, kapok and cotton crops, along with glorious beaches and stunning rainforests.
Understated compared to its neighouring island of Bali, Lombok offers something a little different and a desirable break from the crowds. Surfers will fall in love with the big breaks on the island’s south-west side, while those taking the more laid back approach can simply lounge on the relaxed beaches that are scattered across the island.
Offering an experience quite unlike any other, Lombok is a true Indonesian treasure and a must do while visiting this part of the world.
