Discovering Indonesia: The Latest Products and Destinations

Latest Updates on Destinations and New Products in Indonesia

If you're on the hunt for unique experiences in Indonesia, particularly on the island of Lombok, join us as we unveil the latest insights from EXO Travel. As the rainy season comes to a close, the off-peak travel season is approaching, making it the perfect time to bask in the sunlight at lesser-known destinations.

Our team recently embarked on a survey of the less-explored areas of Lombok, from traditional villages and local pearl farms to thrilling adventures off the coast teeming with marine life. Our goal is to provide authentic and sustainable experiences for travelers.

New Destination Suggestions

Here are some fresh experiences we've uncovered:

Visit Local Markets and Cooking Classes

Enjoy a full-day tour of a bustling traditional market, stroll through lush rice fields, and participate in a local cooking class. This is a fantastic opportunity to truly connect with the heritage of Lombok.

Explore Waterfalls and Craft Villages

Meet local artisans and discover the natural beauty of two stunning waterfalls. These experiences not only offer breathtaking views but also fascinating cultural stories.

Discover Uninhabited Islands

Embark on an exploration of three pristine islands with pink sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for snorkeling. You'll also have the chance to savor delicious local cuisine.

Experience Local Life with a 5-Day/4-Night Program

This program offers genuine village visits, scenic hikes, and stunning views of Mount Rinjani. The aim is to build a deep connection with the local community through meaningful activities.

Useful Information for Vietnamese Travelers

To travel to Indonesia from Vietnam, you will need a tourist visa. Several airlines operate flights from Hanoi (HAN) or Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Jakarta or Bali, with ticket prices ranging from 3-5 million VND for a one-way trip, depending on the booking time. The official currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), with an exchange rate of about 1 IDR = 1.6 VND.

The best time to visit Lombok is from April to October, when the weather is dry and pleasant.

Hotel Updates in Lombok

The Sudamala Resort in Senggigi is a wonderful choice for a peaceful getaway, conveniently located near local attractions. It's the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the Sasak culture.

Qunci Villas Lombok offers a serene and private atmosphere, ideal for couples on their honeymoon.
