Lombok

Lombok holidays

Located to the east of its illustrious neighbour Bali, Lombok measures 80km across at its widest point and is dominated by the mighty Gunung Rinjani, which, at 3,726 metres, is Indonesia’s second highest volcano. With idyllic beaches ringed by coral reef, lush vegetation and good infrastructure, the island has a majority indigenous population of Sasak Muslims, while there are also numbers of Hindu Balinese as well as Chinese and Sasak Buddhists. As a result, islanders enjoy a lively festival calendar; the largest and most colourful being Bau Nayale (Sea Worm Festival) held every February over four days on Lombok’s Kuta beach. Commemorating a mythical princess, the festival coincides with the spawning of marine worms that are caught and eaten after roasting in a banana leaf

"The phenomenal enthusiasm and knowledge of both our guides, especially Violetta in Moscow who was brilliantly informative, enthusiastic and could not have been better. We also thoroughly appreciated the knowledge of our guide Teddy in St Petersburg.
Mrs Meryl Deane"

"I can't say that there was one specific moment - there were many. The country and the people were wonderful, despite their obvious poverty. Our tour guide Maria was first class, and went out of her way to make sure that everything went smoothly.
Mrs Judith Purssell"

"Just to let you know that we had a fabulous time in Iran. Our carefully worked itinerary was nicely spaced and we were delighted with our female guide.
Mr Byrom"

"The birdwatching at Ambua and Karawari was world class. They have Joseph and Stephen at Ambua, and Chris at Karawari, who are THE experts in PNG, and are mentioned in the new bird book.
Mr Anthony Ray"

"The whole organisation worked incredibly well and we had a most informative and enjoyable visit. Yoshie Matsumoto must be the most outstanding guide in Japan. She was absolutely superb and added a great deal to our enjoyment.
Mr. Kirkland"

"The guidance and advice you provided were invaluable. Your choice of locations, itinerary were all spot on. Your efforts in preparing your colleagues for our arrival and your kindness throughout were all fantastic. We truly have returned with the rich taste of both northern and southern India we had hoped we would experience.
Mr Alfandary"

"Standing in the Registan in Samarkand and marvelling at some of the most jaw-dropping and imposing Islamic architecture I've ever seen against a clear as crystal blue sky.
Ms Wendy Proctor"

"Everything went so smoothly, the tour was very well-organised and excellent value for money.
Mr P Osborne"

"Pretty much the whole holiday exceeded expections, but the Roman site of Volubilis was much better than anticipated. The mosque in Casablanca was also a great visit. We hd not expected to be able to go inside because of Friday prayers, but this is possible between 0.00 and 10.00 am.
Mr Roger Rumbold"

"Everything went so smoothly, the tour was very well-organised and excellent value for money.
Mr. Osborne"

"Getting really close to the glaciers from the cruise ship was terrific.
Mr Richard Dobson"

"It was a marvellous tour and a very good itinerary.
Ms Eamits"

"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say a big thank you for organising the most spectacular holiday for us. We had such a fantastic holiday on Cocoa Island and loved every minute of it.
Mrs Downie "

"Early morning walks around the Blue mosque and Hagia Sophia, before the crowds. Meeting Father Ian Sherwood. In general, becoming aware of the tragedies affected the disenfranchised minorities in the Middle East & Central Asia, and how they are related to their shared religious and cultural histories.
Ms Pamela England"
