Lombok Indonesia Cruise Port Guide

Location:

This is a tender port. Since 2019 a new cruise terminal is in place, so tendering is not longer needed. It will be able to handle a 4,000-capacity cruise liner or two smaller ships simultaneously.

Scenic sights and wonderful landscapes are abundant next to the docking area of the Lombok Port. The town is called Lembar.

Sightseeing:

The wonderful, natural settings around Lombok create an atmosphere of peace and relaxation. A day at the pristine beaches surrounding the island offers visitors ample opportunities to participate in water sport activities such as water-skiing, swimming and boating.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

As soon as you are outside the gates you will be mobbed by street sellers. For about $75 you can hire a van/car with driver for the day. Inside the gates it will be much more expensve. Tell the driver you want to go to Senggigi beach with a stop off on the way for a coconut drink. Then ask to go to the shopping center in Lombok and he will wait for you the whole time. Kuta in Lombok is also nice if you have time. Dont pay the driver under any circumstances until he drops you back at the port.

Just south of the port you can rent a motorized boat for a trip along Gili Nanggu Beach, which provides a picture of the life-style on the island, with the pleasant bungalows built on pillars.

You may also be able to visit the resort island of Gili Nanggu just 20 minutes by outrigger offshore, which offers idyllic conditions for snorkelling (with pretty coral formations and many colorful fish), swimming, or just relaxing on the island's white sandy beach.

It pays to compare your cruise line shore excursions here.

Nearby Places:

The Gili Islands composed of the Gili Air Island, the Gili Meno Island and the Gili Trawangan Island offer the best beaches in the region. Snorkeling and scuba diving are the best activities to do in these islands.
