Day 6 Snorkelling and to the southern flank of the volcano, Tetebatu

After a simple breakfast in the guesthouse, go to the beach and board a wooden motor boat. Your captain sails in just over half an hour to one of the Gili's (Gili is the Lombok name of an island) off the coast. Everything here is simple and the snorkeling unique. Enjoy the blue coral, which you hardly see in Indonesia. You will have until after lunch (packed lunch from the guesthouse) to swim, snorkel and relax before sailing back to the 'mainland' of Lombok. Here you get back in the car and your driver brings you to the mountain village of Tetebatu, on the southern flank of the Rinjani volcano.

Your driver will then drive you to the harbor town of Bangsal where you will board a small winged praw. This will take you to Gili Meno in just 45 minutes just off the coast of Lombok. This is really a coral island from an advertising brochure: snow-white beaches overgrown with palm trees and an azure blue sea. Gili Meno is by far the quietest of the three Gili islands.
