When people think of Lombok, many imagine pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and access to the famous Gili Islands. But there is another side to this island—one that is lush, cultural, and spiritually rich. With World Lombok Trip’s curated day tours, you get to uncover that deeper layer: a Lombok that is vibrant, sacred, and breathtaking in its raw beauty.

Why Explore Beyond the Beach?

It’s easy to stay by the coast, sipping coconuts and soaking up sun. But inland Lombok offers something many beachgoers miss—a window into the island’s history, its living traditions, and its connection to nature. That’s why our day tours go beyond the usual and bring you face-to-face with Lombok’s spiritual heart and natural wonders.

Stop 1: Masjid Kuno Bayan

Our journey begins with a visit to Masjid Kuno Bayan, a cultural gem located in North Lombok. Built in the 16th century, this is believed to be one of the oldest mosques in the entire archipelago. It is constructed using traditional materials: wood, bamboo, and alang-alang grass for the roof.

What makes this mosque special is not just its age, but its living history. It remains in use for special ceremonies and serves as a cornerstone of Islamic culture in Lombok. You’ll hear stories about early Islamic propagation on the island and see how religion blends with the local Sasak traditions.

A local guide usually explains the significance of each part of the mosque, its orientation, and the spiritual symbolism embedded in its architecture. It’s a perfect introduction to the depth and diversity of Lombok's cultural roots.

Stop 2: Twin Waterfalls Hidden in the Jungle

After exploring the cultural side of Lombok, we take you deeper into its natural heart. Tucked away in the lush forest are two breathtaking waterfalls, often referred to simply as Waterfall 1 and Waterfall 2.

The short trek to these falls is part of the adventure—a winding path through bamboo groves, rice paddies, and village trails. As the sound of water grows louder, you’ll be greeted by a misty, green oasis where the twin waterfalls cascade down into natural pools.

This is a perfect place to cool off, snap some photos, or simply take in the sheer beauty of untouched nature. If you’re feeling adventurous, a refreshing dip in the pool below the falls is highly recommended.

These waterfalls are not tourist traps. Unlike the busier ones in central Lombok, these are peaceful, clean, and mostly visited by locals. They offer an authentic, serene escape into Lombok’s wild landscape.

Stop 3: Monkey Forest Experience

Our final stop brings some playful energy to the tour: the Monkey Forest. Located nearby, this sanctuary is home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques living freely in the trees and along the pathways.

You can observe them swinging through the branches, grooming each other, or just lounging in the sun. They’re used to visitors but still behave naturally, offering a close-up look at Lombok’s wildlife in their natural environment.

Children especially love this stop, but adults will find it just as captivating. The forest itself is also a joy to walk through—cool, shaded, and buzzing with life.
