Beyond Bali: Why Southern Lombok Should Be Your Next Destination 🌊🥥🌴

[@efulkode27]

Mawun look like private beach. Wonderful

[@michaelrobinson5268]

I was at Mawun in October 2022. There was a 3ft trim of garbage the whole way along the beach. It was really sad. Same for Tanjung An beach. Pink beach in the south east near Ekas was amazing and the best snorkeling I have ever done.

Mawun beach has now been cleaned.

[@masterpropper2485]

@@status.whatsa09 Has it? I was there on 7 March (4 weeks ago) and it was covered in trash with the locals sitting around a tree, amongst piles of trash.

have a nice trips I am from lombok

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you 🙏 we hope to be back very soon. Lombok is very underrated!

[@thivyaswaminathan7581]

Can you suggest places for 1 day visit? We are coming next month and staying for two nights

[@brothersman524]

Awesome stuff Alan I went to both Lombok and Bali, and personally loved Lombok more. I did the Gili Islands from Lombok as a day trip when I stayed in Senggigi Beach area. South Lombok beaches are awesome and been to all of them in the video as well Tanjung Aan Beach as well.

[@wheres_alan]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it 🤙 Sounds like you had an epic trip! I totally agree, we also loved Bali but Lombok is definitely something special.

[@Suryadibiasa1]

Hello,, I enjoy watching videos from you guys

[@larshultberg6972]

I visited south Lombok in 1989 - yes, in 1989 - and it was out of the beaten track for real. I’m glad to see it still, kind off, is.

[@jzkramer]

Food looked incredible!

[@noahjuanjuneau9598]

Just visited Lombok a few months ago - LOVED IT! Especially the west coast! Wow! That place is going to ‘blow up’ over the next few years… it has all the ingredients to make a wonderful resort destination and if you want to see it BEFORE it turns into the next Bali… you better get there soon! See you there! I'll be living in Senggigi!

[@wheres_alan]

Great to hear that you loved Lombok! The west coast is truly breathtaking and Senggigi is especially a beautiful area! I hope you enjoy living there! Thank you for the comment 🤙

[@webmasterguru7799]

Bali is a great holiday destination. I loved doing this video. The DJI Mini Pro 3 is a fantastic and affordable drone to be able to take cinematic video.

[@reckyrinaldi11]

I did surf on selong belanak, and that was an amazing experience. The beach are so quiet and the sand is very soft also the sunset is so unreal!

[@wheres_alan]

Thanks for watching 🤙Selong Belanak is absolutely magical! It's hard to imagine a nicer beach to surf.

[@foodblogjunky]

I am counting down the days until my first trip to lombok and Gili islands. Thanks for the vlog

[@wheres_alan]

My pleasure and thanks for watching! Hope you have a blast 🤙

[@Vostoceq]

Same, leaving in 15 days. Cant wait. But Jakarta exploration first :)

[@johan8602]

Looks great..going for 4w in August and mainly Lombok..cant wait

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you for watching🙏You are definitely making the right choice! Hope you have a blast🤙

[@derekpaterson603]

Awesome video Alan. Love the drone shots and editing you have put into these videos.

[@wheres_alan]

Thanks Derek! Appreciate the support 🍻 Lombok was amazing and had a blast shooting there. Many more to come!

[@welikethislife]

Great video Alan! Thanks for sharing😊🙏🏼 Looks like we need to go to Lombok!

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you! My pleasure and glad you enjoyed the video🤙I hope you get to see this beautiful island soon! 😎

[@BrownMega86]

Today.. Lombok is uderrated destination in Indonesia.. But few years later when the Infrastructure has finished.. It will be popular destination beside Bali

[@wheres_alan]

Thanks for watching 🙂Yeah i agree, Lombok is definitely underrated and am grateful we got to visit before the masses show up. There seems to be a lot of investment going into the island so we'll hopefully come back soon!

[@mythicsin3083]

That’s too bad

[@tigerwong9845]

I hope not. Lombok’s growth is great however it needs to maintain its uniqueness. There is absolute no need for it to become the next Bali 😊

[@Cballin]

some great transitions in this Video Alan! looks like your channels starting to pick up and get a lot more views!!! stoked for you!

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you! 🤙Always appreciate your support Collin! Looking forward to seeing more of your edits soon as well

Hi Alan..nice vlog i hope you enjoy during you in Lombok..i reccomendation you to stay at SURYA LOMBOK ACCOMMODATION Selong Belanak..hight Recomendation for you

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you for watching and appreciate the recommendation ❤ Selong Belanak was definitely our favourite beach of the trip! Looks like Surya is a beautiful accommodation with a prime location, so we'll definitely look it up next we are there (hopefully soon!) 🤙

This saturday i will go to lombok. Bali to much crowded

Awesome 😎 Lombok is a excellent way to escape the crowds. I hope you have a blast! 🤙

[@ramadolan]

it's amazing..!!

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you for watching 🙌muchly appreciated! 💯agree!

[@MultiDivebomber]

Lombok is already touristy by Indonesian standard....Go check Kei, Anambas or Morotai....it is beautiful yet empty 😅

[@bluestarfishsea]

Hey frm Vancouver Island.🇨🇦Nice vid, thks for sharing 🙏 Just booked a flight to KL for next winter, will definitely be flying to Lombok frm there, can’t wait. I’ve only been to North Sumatra in Indo. Did u like Gili T or Lombok more? I love being able to get around by foot bc we are a fam of 5 🤪 Kuta + the Gilis look perfect 👌

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏 Hope you enjoy KL. Thats a tough one, both were equally as good. Gili T is small and easily walkable while Lombok you'll need a motorcycle or driver (unless you plan to stay on the beach). If your looking for snorkelling, diving and wild nightlife then Gili T, and if your looking exploration, relaxation, amazing food, and pristine beaches then Lombok.

[@bluestarfishsea]

@@wheres_alan thks for the tips 🙏

Planning to go to Bali thank you for sharing your vlog thinking which resort I gonna stay in Lombok anybody can recommend which one I can stay I love beaches. Looking forward to to Lombok on July my birthday month

For sure! 🍻 Gili T was one of our favourite parts of the trip - Will 💯be back for more diving there. Thanks for watching and the kind words! Keep healthy and happy as well 🙂

Hi Alan. Could you please share me the package rate to Lombok from Gili T?

[@wheres_alan]

Hi @indranidingal6816! Thanks for watching 🤙 When we were there it was around 200K Rupiah for a one way trip, per person from the official ferry office on Gili T (this included both the ferry and shuttle to Kuta Lombok).

What is an estimate in US dollars of the total travel expenses…round trip?

[@ahmadyoung1732]

If these beaches could be moved to Bali. 😅😅

[@wheres_alan]

Agreed, I would never leave Bali 😄We also loved it there too, if the traffic/crowds can be avoided, Bali certainly makes up for the beaches in other ways!

[@primemarketing7218]

@@wheres_alan actually nusa dua and uluwatu area in bali also has a beautyfull beaches, like dreamland beach, padang padang beach, melasti beach, thomas beach, tembeling beach, melasti beach, nunggalan beach, green bowl beach, pandawa beach maybe next time when you visit bali again explore uluwatu area maybe you will considered live in bali 😁

[@PissMenn]

​@@primemarketing7218 yes I agree with you been all the beaches you mentioned. The differences between Bali and Lombok beaches are the landscape I think. Bali has more rocky hills, cave, and canyon I think, while Lombok more green hills. Also Lombok beaches have more length span compared to Bali.

did they ask for covid vacin ? i did to but i dont wane do 3 covid vacin

[@delywest398]

Yes

[@idkreatif8701]

Lombok is better than Bali, because not so popular tourism, but for many expat from Europe better stay In Lombok. Kuta Lombok is so popular right since 2021 Lombok have motor bike international circuit for Superbika and F1, r u still in indonesia? Enjoy the trip

[@wheres_alan]

Thank you for watching 🙏 Yup, Lombok was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! It was a treat to see it in it's current state. It won't be long before it sees the level of tourism that it's sister island has. We are not there anymore but will be back very soon (hopefully for longer on Lombok this time!)

Not only the trash, but the way they treat animals , terrible terrible terrible
