Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I book this / what’s the link?
You can start planning and booking your 7‑day Lombok itinerary through HolidaySG’s website. Browse their travel packages, customize dates, and arrange accommodations and tours directly on the site.
Do foreigners (non‑citizens) need a different ticket, price, or visa for Indonesia?
Most visitors to Indonesia, including Singaporeans, can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VoA) at major entry points such as Lombok International Airport. The VoA is typically valid for 30 days and costs around USD 35. However, visa policies can change, so we recommend checking the latest information on the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or contacting the nearest Indonesian embassy before you travel.
What is the best time (season, or time of day for the site/activity) to go?
The ideal season for a nature‑and‑culture itinerary in Lombok is the dry season, from May to October, when rainfall is minimal and sea conditions are calm for snorkeling and beach visits. For sunrise at Mount Rinjani or sunrise viewpoints on the Gili Islands, aim to be on the trail or at the beach by 5:30 am to catch the early light. Late afternoon (around 4 pm) is perfect for exploring traditional villages, as the heat eases and the golden light enhances photography.
How much does a 7‑day Lombok itinerary cost for a couple?
Budget‑friendly couples can expect to spend roughly SGD 1,800–2,500 for a week, covering mid‑range accommodation, car or scooter rentals, guided tours, meals, and entrance fees. Luxury travelers may spend SGD 3,500–5,000 or more, depending on boutique resorts, private guides, and upscale dining. Prices vary seasonally, so booking during the shoulder months (May or September) can help secure better rates.
What should we pack for a nature‑and‑culture focused trip to Lombok?
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for daytime hikes and beach days, plus a light rain jacket for occasional showers. Pack sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots for Mount Rinjani treks, and flip‑flops for the islands. Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) is essential, as is a reusable water bottle. If you plan snorkeling, consider a rash guard and waterproof bag for electronics. Lastly, bring a modest outfit (shoulders and knees covered) for visits to temples and traditional villages.
