Leave the typical beach crowds behind and journey deep into Lombok’s emerald interior for a full day adventure combining high energy water sports and authentic cultural heritage. Your day begins with a morning pickup from your hotel lobby in Senggigi, Mataram, or Kuta Lombok. Step into a comfortable private air conditioned vehicle and relax as your driver navigates scenic routes offering views of towering coconut palms and mountain backdrops.
Upon arriving at our riverside basecamp, enjoy a refreshing local drink. Before hitting the water, professional certified river guides will conduct a safety briefing on paddling techniques and river signs. Next, you will be fitted with international standard safety gear, including a secure helmet and a high flotation life jacket.
Your aquatic journey kicks off with an exhilarating 1.5 hour white water rafting expedition down a fast flowing river. Together with your guide, you will paddle through a thrilling series of Class II and III rapids, navigating natural twists, sudden drops, and rolling waves. Between the rapids, enjoy calm stretches of water where you can marvel at towering volcanic cliffs, hidden waterfalls cascading into the river, and a dense tropical canopy.
The excitement continues as you switch gears for a thrilling river tubing session. Unlike the shared raft, you will command your own individual heavy duty tube. Floating low on the water’s surface, you will feel the true rush of the current first-hand. Spin, bounce, and splash down natural river shoots, experiencing the refreshing crystal clear river from a completely dynamic front row perspective.
After the river activities, freshen up in our clean showers and change into dry clothes. Reward your hard work with a freshly prepared Indonesian buffet lunch featuring rich local specialities, perfectly rounded off with hot local coffee, tea, and crispy fried bananas.
In the afternoon, visit Sukarara Village, the historical heart of Sasak hand weaving. Walk through the village with an expert local guide to see ancient traditions. Observe how local weavers craft intricate Songket fabrics using ancient wooden looms. You will try the weaving process yourself under the guidance of a master artisan. To top off your cultural experience, dress up in elegant Sasak traditional attire for photos against the backdrop of traditional thatch roofed houses before relaxing on a smooth drive back to your accommodation.
