Customizable itinerary
Experience the highlight of Lombok island – you will be able to marvel at its breathtaking natural beauty and observe life at the local villages, each of which is blessed with different scenic surroundings and mountainous panorama. 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.

Amazing and worth it
My family and I stumbled across Asia Pioneer and we had the wonderful Chloe as our travel agent for our Vietnam/Thailand trip. Everything was organised for us, from the itinerary, to accommodation, tour guides, drivers, flights and activities.
It costed quite a bit, however well worth it if you don’t want to worry about having to organise anything.
I highly recommend!!!
My only feedback would be that the payment system with Asia Pioneer is not straight forward and they invoice and quote in US $ so if you are from other countries tries the conversion rates and credit card fees etc become quite confusing and it ends up costing more than expected.
They request a 30% deposit upfront which is fine, but then you pay another amount a month th before the trip, and then the final amount in cash on the day of arriving in Vietnam.
I recommend you get the cash out in your country before arriving to Vietnam as the ATM’s only allow you to get out a very small amount (3 million vietnamese dong) at a time.
However other than that, highly recommend !!
Amazingly amazing!
Customer Service: The service was amazing from start to finish. APT was in constant communication with me. They were patient, flexible, and accommodating. They understood what I wanted to see and things I wasn’t interested in. They were never pushy. The tour guides they provided were also amazing. Prompt, funny, super informative, and advocated for us every step of the way…sometimes changing our itineraries to better fit our needs. The tour guides also understood that by day 9 we were exhausted and needed some R&R.
Price: The price was very affordable. We were 3 teachers on winter break so you know we’re not made out of $$$. The hotels they provided were affordable and lovely, very close to all the spots.
Vietnam: What can I say? I want to live there!!!
Overall Experience: 5 stars! I will be booking with APT for our next trip. 10 days was not enough!
Honeymoon trip to Indochina
Vietnam was our honeymoon trip and Adam from Asia pioneer made sure that we were well taken care of everywhere we went, the staff, the guides, everyone was so helpful and understanding to our concerns. The halong bay cruise was the highlight of the whole trip with special requests to the staff of decor in our room which was a surprise to us. Adam curated a trip according to our likes and made sure we were comfortable throughout the 10 day program. Thank you for one of the best trip of our lives!
A holiday of a lifetime ,thanks to Chloe and Asia Pioneer !
We have just returned from a holiday of a lifetime in SE Asia. The main part of our trip was a 34 day tour with Asia Pioneer.
I cannot recommend this company highly enough.My personal point of contact throughout the long months of planning was the wonderful Chloe . In consultation with her, a tailor made tour for the 4 of us was planned ,and it really could not have gone more perfectly.
From the day we landed in Laos,to be met by our tour guide and driver at the airport,to the afternoon when were taken by our Cambodian guide and driver to the airport at the end of our adventure,we were looked after with such kindness and care. The stress of travelling around in such a different part of the world was taken away ,leaving us to enjoy so many fantastic experiences.
The tour guides,drivers,hotels and activities organised by Chloe throughout our time in Laos,Vietnam, and Cambodia all surpassed expectations. Every day provided such wonderful memories.
If you are looking for a personalised private tour in this fascinating part of the world you should look no further than Asia Pioneer.
