Customizable itinerary
Embark on 8 days of Lombok Island tour to marvel at its breathtaking natural beauty and experience the vibrant life of local villages, each blessed with unique scenic surroundings and stunning mountainous panoramas.
Enjoy the eyecatching views of Lombok landscapes from the foothill of Mount Rinjani. From Lombok, embark on a boat trip to Gili islands, the little tropical paradises. These islands are a dream getaway, which shows you the true pristine nature of Indonesia with crystal clear water, diverse marine life and colourful coral reefs.
A warm greeting awaits at Lombok International Airport; your private guide and driver will meet you in the arrivals lounge and drive you directly to your hotel. Your knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions along the way and will assist you with check-in and registration at the hotel.
After a short rest, we’ll head out for some sightseeing.
The trip will start in Lombok, east of The Wallace Line. Wallace found out in the 19th century that fauna and flora differ greatly between West and East Indonesia. The imaginary line separating the two is called the Wallace line up to this day. It runs through the Lombok Strait, encompassing some of the deepest oceans in the region. Before going to the hotel, start exploring Lombok and several handicraft villages surround Mataram, the sleepy provincial capital.
This tour will give you an opportunity to experience the mountainous and natural beauty on the height combined with a flat green area. Start with a visit to Loyok, a village known for the fine quality of Lombok handicrafts made from bamboo and palm leaves. Next will be the village of Sapiy, which offers cool air, terrace rice fields, stunning view and attractive forest and breathtaking panorama.
Then we will head to the village of Sembalun and the traditional Sasak villages on the eastern slopes of Mount Rinjani, with cool weather and breathtaking views. Continue to the magnificent waterfall at the southern foot of Mount Rinjani and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view. Explore the traditional village located at the main gateway to Mount Rinjani before ending today’s tour on a beautiful windy road, which offers a spectacular panorama of coastline and hill.

A seamlessly organized and memorable journey through Vietnam
Trip Type: Couple’s journey across Vietnam – a roundtrip with 10 locations in 18 days
We booked our Vietnam trip through Asia Pioneer Travel, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. From our arrival in Hanoi on July 14 to our departure from Da Nang on July 31, every part of the journey was seamlessly organized, with personal follow-up and high quality throughout.
Planning & Logistics
Each part of the trip was well planned: transportation, accommodation, guides, and activities. We were always met by punctual and friendly guides with a driver, traveled in comfortable private cars, stayed in quality 4★ hotels in great locations, and experienced a lot without ever feeling stressed or rushed. We especially appreciated that the itinerary was flexible and could be adjusted along the way, which was particularly important in the heat.
Traveling in July meant heat and humidity, but the itinerary gave us time to rest and adapt.
Highlights
Highlights included exploring the colorful markets of Hanoi, the spectacular views from the mountaintop at Fansipan in Sapa, a peaceful overnight cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay, walking the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, and the unique experience of seeing Ho Chi Minh City from the seat of a vintage Vespa (an experience not to be missed). These activities gave us a genuine sense of Vietnam’s diversity and culture. We also appreciated visits to local temples and vibrant street markets, which added to the cultural depth of the trip.
Food Experience
Many of the meals were included and coordinated in a way that gave us the opportunity to try a wide range of delicious Vietnamese food. The two street food tours were especially positive experiences – both flavorful and social.
Personal Support
Rachel from Asia Pioneer Travel stayed in close contact with us on WhatsApp throughout the journey and was always available. She made adjustments along the way based on our preferences, including meals, pace, and small details that made a big difference. All the guides we met were consistently professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, adding depth and local insight to every destination.
Overall Impressions
There are surely cheaper alternatives, but for us it was worth paying a bit more for the safety, local expertise, excellent service, and the consistently high quality of both the hotels and transportation throughout the journey. We felt well taken care of throughout the trip and are left with lasting memories from all parts of the country, from north to south, with great and very different locations.
Thank you, Asia Pioneer Travel. We wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a well-organized and personalized journey in Vietnam, and we won’t hesitate to use your services again when traveling in Asia.
Warm regards,
Robert and Margita
Asia Pioneer is THE BEST!
Since day 1 I received a very professional, warm and helpful service from Winston at Asia Pioneer Travel. I want to be honest, it was SO PERFECT that at times it went through my mind that it was a scam, (sorry Winston). Well, Winston and the entire staff at Asia Pioneer Travel are real people who worked very hard at providing my family and I with an unforgettable trip full of incredible moments that we will cherish for ever! Our trip was very well planned according to our needs and executed superbly to the very last detail. My two teenagers were so disappointed when it came to an end and had to come back home. Thank you to the entire Asia Pioneer Travel team for making us very happy during our Indochina adventure! We would do it again TOMORROW if we could!
