What to do and see in Senggigi, West Nusa Tenggara: The Best Private Tours

November 25, 2021 Roseanne Arnett

Senggigi is the main tourist strip of the Indonesian island of Lombok, stretched out along several kilometers of the beachfront just to the north of the capital, Mataram. The site of a building frenzy in the late 1990s when Lombok was hyped to be the next Bali, the communal violence of 2000 and the 2002 Bali bombing dealt Senggigi a severe blow, with tourist numbers declining precipitously and many construction projects halted.

We just got back from a fabulous snorkeling trip to all 3 Gilis. Our guide Anton was fabulous. He was so caring and attentive. It was the best. He helped me in and out of the boat at every stop and snorkeled with me.

This was a very nice trip. We were picked on time, the guides and drivers were nice and friendly. We were taken to 3 islands, and to 3 different snorkeling spots (statues, turtles, fish). First two were VERY overcrowded with tourists, the statues are located on a small area, and all tourists are packed over them, the water is kind of muddy, so it was not nice experience. The fish and turtles, however, were quite nice and fun. The islands are okay, considering they are regular touristy islands, and they took you to quite expensive restaurant to have launch. We did all the tour in about 5-6 hours. We did have a good time and the tour was nice, just it was too many people. Maybe the tour should be done at another time, like hour late or earlier :). Also, I need to note, that the same private tour could be bought in any agency in Senggigi for only 700.000 - 1.000.000 idr per 2 persons, so I find this online price to be quite expensive.

We had a wonderful day trip starting with pick up from the cruise terminal,Aziz was the only one willing to collect us so far from the departure point for th islands. Our driver was waiting and easy to locate. We were 2 couples and had the boat to ourselves with three crew to care for us which they did so well. The snorkeling was great fishs turtles underwater statues all the things promised, they took some great underwater film and photos for us. We were given the choice of destination for our late lunch so chose to return to the mainland and were taken to Sudamala 5 star resort for a terrific lunch a swim in their pool,such a dream spot would love to go back to stay a week..Aziz is a truely professional tour operator giving a very personalized experience They got us back to the ship with time to spare unlike some other late arrivals, lucky the captain waited for them You wont regret booking with Lombok Friendly tours & travel
