Lombok Family Itinerary Options
Option #1
In the Lombok Family Itinerary #2, the later half of your holiday is spent in the south west Gili’s. You could also switch this for the Northwest Gili’s. The northwest Gili’s are more ‘touristy’, more developed and may have a few more things to do. If you are travelling as a family though, be careful where you choose to stay on the island as different area’s are more family friendly.
Option #2
If you were after something a little different, you could try adding onto your Lombok holiday, a boat tour to neighbouring islands Komodo and Flores. Here you can explore more remote settings and see the Komodo Dragon. Perhaps you could start your holiday with a few days in Lombok, then get the boat from Lombok to Komodo and then Flores. From Flores you can fly to Bali/Jakarta to either continue your holiday or return home.
