Lombok is the Indonesian
name for chili pepper, and you’ll find our spicy little
island only 70km from Bali, and about three-quarters its size. The two islands
are separated by the ecologically significant Wallace Line (the Wallace Line is
the line of demarcation, separating Equatorial Asia from Marsupial Australia,
which marks vast and immediately noticeable changes in the flora and fauna of
Bali).
Lombok lies only 375km south of the equator,
and therefore you’ll find a tropical climate. Days are almost universally 12
hours long; sunrise is approximately at 6:20 a.m., sunset at 6:30 p.m.
depending on the time of year. The average daytime temperature is between 27° C
to 30° C (80° F to 90° F) along the western coastal area (the main tourist
venue). The average inland temperature is 29° C to 34° C. And if you plan to
trek onto Mt. Rinjani bring a sweater along - with 3,726 meters it is
Indonesia's second highest mountain and it gets surprisingly cold up there.
Lombok's tropical monsoon climate has two
distinct seasons: dry (March to October) and wet (November to March). Monsoon
refers to the wind, not to the rain. However even in the wet monsoon season the
rain tends to be short-lived and localized.
Discover scuba diving around South Lombok! In
South Lombok every diver can find his dive adventure: from relaxed diving in
Southwest Lombok up to exciting “adrenalin dives” in Belongas Bay.
Until recently, south west Lombok was known
mostly to surfers, who enjoy the fantastic reef breaks around the southern
coastline. 5 years ago we've discovered it for spectacular diving
opportunities, and for the moment South Lombok is still an insider tip amongst
the diving community. Apart from the diving, as you will not find many tourists
on the south coast beaches it’s also still one of the most beautiful places for
enjoying a relaxed tropical vacation with breathtaking sunset views and
relaxing walks on the beach.
South Lombok is uncommon amongst the other
dive locations around Lombok. Here one still finds diving as a distinct
experience and exclusive dive sites with the chance to explore undiscovered
waters. These new dive sites offer even the well-traveled and experienced diver
a surprising and breathtaking experience, and due to the great variety of dive
sites, there is exciting diving for all levels of training. A unique underwater
experience and a highlight for photographers!
