Lombok Safety is declared because it is not in a war situation, there are no natural disasters, there are no fights between villages, there are no terrorist acts but for other matters related to crime it cannot be denied that it still happens the same as in the island of Java, motor vehicle theft syndicates still often heard, pick pocketing at the bus terminal still exists, fraud with mode mode still exists, coercion and snapping on the bus terminal there is still deception of passengers’ luggage also still exists, we can avoid this as long as we are careful and alert beforehand.
Contact Lombok Police Hire
Typical Lombok people in each section vary greatly, while Lombok people who live in parts of the fertile land have a very shady, modest and very friendly temperament. They are very diligent in starting their daily activities, from sunrise to sunset taking care of livestock and farming in the rice fields, very devoutly worshiping, in the middle of the rice fields they built a small mosque and a bath.
People call it a public prayer hall, Endowments, meaning waqaf in the form of grants for the public interest, because among them they have no objection to set aside agricultural produce or donate a little land to build musholla / small mosque because every farmer is not always close to where he farms when they eat. because lunch is delivered to the fields by his wife or daughter they live peacefully and beautifully in the simplicity of obeying the teachings of religion is never separated from the five daily prayers.
The Lombok people who live in parts of the land are barren, rocky, the hills around it dry, water is very rare, the rain that comes only in the season they live on dry land shaded by tamarind trees.
The tamarind tree is trees that survive growing in barren areas during the rainy season will flow to wet the fields around where they live and then they are busy to plant their fields with rice and stock rice for dry season supplies later.
When the dry season arrives they will think tomorrow there must be cooked. The South Lombok region in 1978, the southern part of Lombok was hit by malnutrition.
So that the government was fighting until GORA rice or gogorancah rice was planted where this rice could live like a corn plant that could grow into rice seeds planted on land that was not Flooding water is not like the rice we commonly know.
Until now Lombok has other names besides Selaparang earth which is the first kingdom to fertilize another royal kingdom in Lombok so that the first airport in Lombok was named Selaparang airport, Lombok is also known as Bumi Gora which we can still see in Udayana park on the road two-way flight to the old airport in the city of Mataram.
In the various aspects of life in Lombok which are influenced by heredity, profession and geography that affect the character and paradigm in living in Lombok, of course people who have ancestral lineages from royal descendants in Lombok will greatly uphold the price self.
Dignity and honor of the extended family including in their everyday speeches they use languages which are considered to be subtle by the Lombok people and very anti to say your words to other people including to newborn babi
Your designation is very angry or impolite, it will only be used when someone is angry. The profession of people in Lombok is also very varied for people who live in the city of mayor or regency cities, generally government officials, small, medium and large businessmen in various fields whose economies are more established and well-off as for the poor parking attendants, construction workers, mobile bakers and others.
The profession of Lombok people in the village will certainly not be much different from the profession of villagers in other areas.
Only what we will talk about is the Lombok people’s profession living in dry areas and infertile land, the people we mean are people who live around South Lombok or around the typical south of the city of Praya, the people here are rather harsh or temperamental, but I don’t say absolutely.
I estimate that 75% of the nature of this temperament may be formed from a hot, dry and infertile geographical condition that only relies on agriculture when the rainy season arrives.
This forms the paradigmatic to survive in a way that they consider to be correct, which results in a very high rate of theft of livestock, especially cattle and buffalo that are stolen and stolen only around the scope of the next sub-district.
They work with the Javanese or the thieves or thieves in the village. by showing the midnight thieves where the cow pen to be stolen is not infrequently people who have cattle and dead thieves at the end of the sword fight over and defend livestock because livestock are real goods to be sold and become money, usually stolen animals are deposited in a certain place before being taken to “Benchmark” or place of slaughter of livestock.
The story of the theft of livestock is very heroic and lasts a long time on earth of Selaparang why do I say heroic because thieves of this kind are not considered to be a shameful job they are risking their lives, there are even a few fleeting stories about how a woman’s firmness towards a potential partner when they want to be proposed they crave a man who dare to walk the night with the intentions of the prospective husband so that he can truly be a real man who can protect economically so that the necessities of life can be fulfilled by fighting lives to commit crimes (stealing / robbing)
Not only is there a problem with the purpose of finding livestock but also sometimes to test the ability of black magic obtained from hermitage in sacred places, some even deliberately tell livestock owners to come to pick up livestock in the village and are ready to fight the magical power science they have.
This case takes place very long around the south Lombok area. I will not mention the villages that are often the scene of the crime because some of them like this are a big disgrace directed at their village but in general I mention southern Lombok.
The above often makes police officers powerless to prevent the situation of cattle theft in South Lombok, even police officers are shaken to investigate cases of cattle theft in Lombok so that around 1995 the police managed to form two Pamswakarsa (security association local) groups called Buru Jejak and Amphibi. These groups were deliberately formed to eradicate theft of livestock that occurred in south Lombok, not infrequently the thieves of cattle were judged by these two groups by being beheaded or slaughtered to give deterrent to the next perpetrators.
Not long after this Pamswakarsa group for Lombok Safety grew bigger and became more feared so that many thieves of cattle became dreadful and scared, especially the Amphibi group which was getting bigger and more loved by the community. To become a member of Amphibi Lombok for Safety does not escape, including people who often commit criminal behavior to join in becoming Amphibi for Lombok Safety members in order to find shelter.
Amphibian group also penetrated to most parts of the island of Lombok, including also penetrated the city of Mataram with the establishment of posts to patrol with the command post style painted orange with a vicious crocodile symbol.
Conditions like this make Lombok more safe from criminal acts because every perpetrator criminality will be judged by Amphibi’s group. Over time the amphibian group went on to become a force that made city residents uneasy.
Amphibi members Lombok Safety always arrogantly raised their swords in the streets with pickup trucks behind like ISIS soldiers but they differed only by armed samurai and judging criminals outside. procedure, not through the legal process.
This member is also sometimes used for other purposes such as for the forced collection of individuals to collect debts by force and issue an ultimatum against debtors.
There were also several members killed while surrounded by a kingpin 4 people were killed and very many other stories about the actions of members Amphibians are increasingly arbitrary and wrong procedures.
The NTB Regional Police immediately dismissed the Pamswakarsa for Lombok Safety on the grounds that the number of thefts of livestock was no longer there and it could be controlled.
Only members of the Amphibi group could operate in regional areas prone to criminal acts found in southern central Lombok for more details about the existence of Amphibi / security association local, You can Access Google by typing the word “Amphibi Lombok”, surely you will see the elements of the orange color.
For Nanggu beach lovers who are looking forward to your arrival the island which is only about 12 hectares wide will offer its charm, beautiful surroundings that consist of hills that wall the beach from a distance, clear sea water showing off the coral contained in it , the gusts of the wind and the whispers of the waves that will bring peace, the island is still neighboring 2 other islands, Gili Tangkong and Gili Sudak, even one of them is often approached by visitors, Gili Kedis.
The gate on the Gili Nanggu pier
Actually, Gili Kedis does not belong to the neighbor category because only a small island covering 10 acres and there are no inhabitants but very exotic to take pictures here. To get to this island, there are many boat ports that we can access from the city of Mataram, among them can be through Cemare harbor not far from Lembar Harbor, from here visitors from Mataram city will be faster or not too long to drive a car or motorbike, only around 30 minutes from we can also see the Nanggu harbor, we only have to cross 15 minutes to arrive at Nanggu.
Sisi Timur pulau Gili Nanggu
Alternatively, you can go through Lembar port as well, as visitors don’t spend too much time driving cars or motorbikes, but from Lembar Harbor to Nanggu dyke it takes longer to work because the boat starts from inside the bay and will spend 30 minutes now the closest port to Gili Nanggu is the Tawun port from here it only takes about 10 minutes to arrive at Gili Nanggu.
Public toilet in Nanggu
Unfortunately from this port, if we are from Mataram city, we will spend around 1.5 hours because we have to go around the bay and cross the coast to the south of Gili Nanggu or in Sekotong Barat sub-district, but the cost of crossing to Gili Nanggu is cheaper, of course around Rp. 300,000 for charter, a maximum of 10 passengers, can also visit 3 islands, namely Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong, Gili Sudak and the extras to visit Gili Kedis, for sure the price of the boat charter is more expensive.
Not far from the beach is very shady if you want to play and walk on white sand
After arriving on this island, every visitor will be visited by a coast guard to pay a tourist entrance fee of Rp 5,000 / person because your used food waste will be handled by the manager and it is emphasized by the manager not to dispose of garbage, especially foreigners. many who travel to this island here you will be safe from the pursuit of souvenir traders or hawkers.
While waiting for the others to snorkel you can relax while playing swing
Such traders are not allowed to enter this island. Only one resort and no local residents living in this place are only inhabited by hotel employees who work in Gili Nanggu, not infrequently foreign tourists who come to this place are amazed by repeatedly saying this island is paradise island ‘paradise island’ ‘crystal-like white sand we occasionally see crab-type animals running around leaving traces of footprints, turtledoves flying low and running on the beach while looking at you like looking like you are astonished to see you at its location.
Gate to Gili Nanggu Cottages hotel area
Arriving at Gili Nanggu there is a choice whether to be alone or to play swing, but I suggest that you better get snorkeling equipment or maybe you have prepared snorkeling equipment before, because you rent snorkeling equipment in Gili, the rental price is too expensive because you are not competing. rather than just rent it because I am sure you will never count the rental price after seeing Gili Nanggu marine park, around Gili Nanggu waters there is a prohibition to fish here is very sustainable, coral reefs are very beautiful colored fish colorful in large numbers that flash in front of you when you snorkel and don’t forget to bring bread to eat fish, the fish here are very friendly with people who snorkel because everyone snorkeling is always coming to feed him.
Lombok dive course in Gili Trawangan before Many tourism players in Lombok are unaware of the origin of Gili Trawangan, which is known by tourists, especially foreign tourists who used to be only inhabited by a group of traditional Bugis Sulawesi fishermen and the land consists of coconut and pine trees on the coast.
Then some Small investors around the 1980s glanced at this island to be used as a stopover for tourists who had a mediocre (back packer) tourist who liked the silence and atmosphere of the beach accompanied by the construction of several bungalow units.
Especially when Gili was very well known among tourism actors, that is a back packer destination, at that time the intensity of crossings was very minimal using small-engine boats with a maximum capacity of only 10 passengers with the fastest time of 45 minutes if the seawater was calm and could spent 1 hour if the conditions are windy.
Then at that time the Senggigi tourist area is the main destination for tourists who want to visit the island of Lombok but now it is a beautiful story for tourism businesses based in the Senggigi region.
Lombok dive course start from Senggigi
Group Diver departs to spot dive
Over time many dive shops that develop in Senggigi and Gili are diving or diving destinations, dive companies or dive shops in Senggigi make an itinerary to dive around 3 Gili (Trawangan, Meno and Air) by providing shuttle transportation from the hotel then taken to the Nara bay port or Kodek bay with a mini bus shuttle.
Then using a boat that has been designed for diving needs because of the wooden boat interior shape there are slots to put oxygen tanks for diving, participants are taken to diving spots that have been Schedule by dive master based in Senggigi, as time goes by, the diving businessmen expand their diving business by opening their branches on Gili Island or on three Gili (Air, Meno and Trawangan)
Gili Trawangan is photographed from the Jetty or the main dock
This is where the forerunner to the development of tourism on the three Gilis, especially Gili Trawangan, is that each branch of the dive shop also provides rooms for diving participants, especially those who take courses to get a license, then followed by businessmen in the hospitality sector that appear first time namely hotels Ombak villa which was once also besides the hotel is Academic Vila Ombak diving.
some Lombok dive course Company
Map of dive sites on 3 Gili

ITINERARY / ILLUSTRATION OF A SAILING TRIP TO KOMODO ISLAND 10 – 20 YEARS AGO WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE CURRENT ROUTE
Sail to Komodo island. What we mean here is: A tour package program using a motorized wooden boat, which departs via the port of Bangsal or Labuan Lombok (East Lombok).
We have packed this trip 4 x departures in a week “Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday” using a simple wooden motorboat with a capacity of 25-30 passengers and 4 crew members.
This tour follows the northern coast of the island of Lombok, Sumbawa and circling small islands in the waters of the island of Komodo, until this Trip ends in western Flores (Labuan Bajo) by presenting various activities during the trip such as snorkeling, fishing, hiking, exploring and visiting in various tourist attractions
One example of a Boat trip that we used on a Boat trip to Komodo Island is starting from Lombok
Check in at 09:00 a.m. in the place specified in the “DIKKY Cafe” or at the “Lombok Cafe” which is not far from the pier of Bangsal port, Pemenang sub-district, North Lombok district.
While waiting for the departure time at 11:30 am participants can order breakfast at the restaurant where the check-in is paid. While ordering extra food and drinks for boating trips (4 days / 4 nights)
In this tour the price includes “Eat 3 X a day” and 1,500 ml mineral bottled water has been prepared for 6 bottles during the trip to allocate 1 participant. Most of the participants in this trip usually consist of foreign tourists who are budget back packers.
Generally this package is offered by tourism services that are at ticketing (tour and travel) counters in 3 Gili, namely Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. Including the Senggigi area and the Kuta Lombok area even in the front part of the hotel office.
Especially the bungalows also sell this Trip package for that it is very possible this trip is very quickly sold and passenger capacity will be full quickly, for that I recommend booking 1 month in advance because very often full booking occurs.
Lombok Cafe Check in location at Bangsal Harbor
The participants who are in the vicinity of the Senggigi area will be picked up by Shuttle (free) cars and those who depart from Kuta Lombok one day before having to move hotels in the Senggigi area.
It can also depart at 07:00 am from Kuta Lombok to the port of Bangsal but the transport costs are self-contained, while those departing from 3 Gili will be given a public boat ticket (free) for crossing to the port of Bangsal.
The public boat will depart after full at around 08.00 am, approximately arriving at the port of Bangsal around less than 09:00 am then going to the designated check-in location at a restaurant (Lombok Cafe or DIKKY Cafe).
Later, there will be a caretaker from Trip who picks up at the port of Bangsal to direct check-in at the cafe, while waiting for the boat to depart at 11:30 am, here is the chance for participants to order extra needs during a trip on a boat trip to Komodo island and finish in Labuan Bajo (Flores)
Boat trip participants sail to Komodo Island
Exactly at 11:30 a.m. the group will be invited to go to the pier at the port of Bangsal to put bags or luggage (luggage) into the ship’s space located at the bottom or on the belly of the ship.
Then depart while enjoying the view of the north coast of the island of Lombok, while waiting for the crew to cook for lunch.
The cruise stop begins when it arrives on an island of Sugian which is included in the area of ​​East Lombok district, here can do snorkeling activities or just jump to swim.
Snorkeling equipment has been prepared on a boat but there is no Fin or foot-frog, because the size of the foot must be certain, unlike the size of Mask or google it can all just just tighten or loosen the rope tied to the head to adjust the size of the head.
Then get on the boat to enjoy the sunset and the crew has begun to busy preparing the evening dishes, while running the boat engine we enjoy dinner.
After eating while chatting with other groups, the ship’s engine stayed alive while walking until the group decided to sleep to their respective places.
The Day Second Sail To Komodo Island
Wooden Boat Pier on Medang Island
After waking up at around 6 am the group arrived at Medang island north of Sumbawa island, which was included in the Labuhan Badas sub-district district. Sumbawa Besar.
“This is where most of the boat captains and crew reside who are tribes of migrants from the mainland of Sulawesi who are famous for their maritime capabilities.
They have lived for decades on this island of Medang. In this place there are 2 maritime tribes that live, namely: Bajo tribe and Bugis tribe (sailors from the southern Sulawesi mainland)
Senggalo Waterfall is only a 5-minute walk from the Boat leaning on the edge of Moyo beach
It seems that something that has been planned by the crew seems to take on other needs, at that time we saw the crew raise and lower something into the boat again.
As well as fuel for preparation during sailing (4H / 4M) and lowering groceries for needs on the island. Chances are the wife of the ship captain ordered it.
Because what is certain is that life on the island is very limited to looking for household needs, after breakfast with a Pancake menu and a glass of tea or warm coffee that has been prepared always available throughout the day.
At around 10:00 am it was estimated that the group had to arrive at Moyo island here where participants would be invited to go down the middle of the forest to a very beautiful waterfall in the forest.
Only walking for about 10 minutes the group was able to find the Senggalo waterfall, only for once this group could feel the freshwater bath, while on the way to Flores. about half an hour bathing in this waterfall the group was invited back to the boat.
Continuing the journey to Satonda island, which is located north of Mount Tambora, which is included in the Dompu district, this lake is a saltwater lake surrounded by green hills.
There are many mangrove trees in the vicinity, besides that the lake looks pretty because at a glance it resembles a calm freshwater lake, surrounded by green hills, inside there are also types of saltwater fish because this lake is located far from the mainland of Sumbawa island.
Satonda Island is included in the Dompu district of NTB
On the way to Satonda Island, while enjoying lunch, the group will arrive around 4 pm on Satonda Island, here for those who want to go down will be picked up by small boat to get to Satonda Island.
Because the ship’s stomach will run aground if forced to go to the shores of Satonda here, the group will be charged an additional fee of Rp 20,000 / person for a shuttle to Satonda Island.
It includes a tourist entrance ticket or includes a donation and for a local guide who is always on standby at that place. There is something interesting on Satonda island, besides being able to see the beauty of saltwater lakes.
On this island, many stones are hung by a thread or Rapia rope in mangrove trees around the lake’s edge, which according to local guides said that the stones were intentionally hung by local people or Sumbawa tribesmen.
Residents around any, who come to visit all hang hopes according to their intentions on the trees around Lake Satonda, the intended intentions include being able to get a mate in accordance with the idol that he expected, intending to heal the illness suffered and other intentions.
If the intention is deemed to be obscured because the stone hung on a tree on the island of Satonda they will come to carry out the ceremony of salvation, by slaughtering a goat or buffalo in that place, as a sign of gratitude for its intention and hope.
For those who do not go down to visit the lakes on the island of Satonda can do casual activities on a boat or snorkeling around, not far from where the boat docked. Good enough for snorkeling.
On the beach Satonda can still see colorful fish, as well as turtles. After finishing looking at the island of Satonda the group will continue the journey to the island of Banta which will be expected to arrive tomorrow on a dark morning.
Water conditions after entering in the waters of the island of Komodo
While looking towards the back of the boat, participants of the group will be presented with stunning views of the silhouette at sunset, and the silhouettes of the land around Mount Tambora.
On tis trip sail to Komodo island The crew members carry out their routine activities of preparing meals for dinner, after dinner is finished, most groups usually sit around the front end of the boat.
While enjoying the boat swing while walking, driven by waves. It will definitely be cool while looking up while lying staring at the moon and the stars usually entourage tonight to chat while waiting while sleepy.
The Day Third Sail To Komodo Island
The entrance gate in the Komodo island area
Don’t forget to wake up early before 6 because at that time we have entered the waters of the Komodo National Park around the island of Banta, to see hundreds of jumping dolphins greeting the morning around the boat.
Even if you look at the bottom of the boat there are some dolphins that are chasing merrily and jumping very close in front of us and who must not forget to wake up in the morning which is definitely the crew to prepare breakfast.
At around 9:00 a.m. the group will arrive at Gili Laba for hiking activities, up the hill to see the charm of the scenery of the waters of the island of Komodo.
Surely those who like photography on this trip sail to Komodo island must fight up the hill because it is necessary to admit hiking up the hill on the island of Laba is very energy-intensive, then down from the profit island we continue the journey to the waters “Manta points.
To see and swim together with dozens of Manta fish in close proximity, this location is close to the mainland of Komodo Island and not far from Red beach or Pink beach, which is very well known by Caucasians and Caucasians.
After finishing watching the Manta fish in close proximity the group climbed onto the boat to get to Pink beach, here there are lots of Moring or some kind of floating ball that marks the existence of a rope into the sea floor.
Intended for boats or tourist boats anchored, so as not to throw anchors carelessly to avoid damage to coral reefs.
View of the island of Komodo from the island of Laba if during the rainy season
On the Pink beach for those who have good swimming abilities can swim towards the edge of the Pink beach, to dry for a moment on the Pink sand (for Caucasians), also at this location is very good for snorkeling.
But be careful because the flow of sea water here is quite heavy, you can ask for a rope to hold on or you can ask for a life jacket, so as not to be too tired of pedaling your feet when facing water flow.
The current that drags us away from the boat, then the group after finishing snorkeling will be invited to take a boat to go to check in points at the Loh Liang pier Komodo National Park (Komodo island) here all administrative payments are made including payment of the Entrance fee.
Entrance ticket “Not included in the Trip price. There there is a list of ticket prices that I cannot confirm because they are always changing but certainly for foreign tourists they have to pay 2 X compared to the price of the entrance ticket for domestic tourists.
in this trip sail to Komodo island There is also an additional fee for a camera fee of Rp 50,000 for those who bring cameras and cameras on cellphones (HP) that are not subject to additional fees.
Lunch on an adventurous boat trip
After completing administrative matters, the local guide will take us to the explanation board, to find out the rules of the rules in TNK (Komodo National Park)
Including the group will explain the hiking routes that will be passed. After completion, explain the 2 handlers and guides, carrying a unique stick to conquer Komodo.
At the end of the stick there are two branches or twigs that resemble wood on the ketepel will take us across the specified routes to see the Komodo habitat closely.
What is certain in the journey sail to Komodo island the handler will talk about the ins and outs of Komodo, including the Komodo National Park Guide, said that Komodo actually has 3 eyes with one eye on Head front Komodo.
His eyes are hidden small in the gap of his scales, because Komodo often hunts by the method of pretending to sleep, while the eyes on his forehead monitor the movements of their prey.
When the prey approaches, the Komodo dragon will grab and bite the body part. For example buffalo, deer, pigs, horses. Until bacteria in the Komodo saliva spread disease-infected bacteria into their prey bodies.
At that time the prey will be released and then wait until it becomes sick and die, then the Komodo dragon will look for the carcass of its prey with a very sharp smell.
Even though the prey carcass has been flushed with a distance of kilometers. Not only can we see Komodo. Here many deer roam, wild boar, wild buffalo and various birds such as partridges, Komodo dragons and other scavenger crows.
Turning from National Park not far from the welcome gate, you can buy souvenirs that resemble Komodo wood carvings, clothes with screen printing of Komodo images, writings of Jargon, maps of Komodo island and many also in the form of necklaces and bracelets made from Komodo dragons.
Welcoming morning while having breakfast with a banana pancake menu
Back to the boat lunch is ready. While having lunch the boat drove to the next destination, Kalong island.
Near the island of Kalong, the group will arrive approximately 5 pm to stop somewhere surrounded by rocky and dry hills during the dry season.
Located in a lush valley by the beach, this is where we can see bats or bats hanging from the trees.
But the peak of its beauty, at dusk “these animals, will fly adorn the dusk that deliver the arrival of darkness of the night, while waiting for dusk in the calm waters of the sea.
You will be welcomed by children who use small motorized boats originating from the Komodo village, approaching the group boat with the aim of peddling souvenir items.
Souvenirs in the form of wooden carvings of the Komodo statue, through the children of the seller of this souvenir you can also ask to be carried back and forth from the boat to the Komodo village.
If you want to see their situation and lifestyle in this very small settlement, it costs around Rp. 150,000 for 3 people.
In the village there are many people selling like in the sub-district village which is a fishermen’s settlement, here you can buy canned drinks or snacks.
With a slightly more expensive price, of course, compared to shopping in the city district. For now your sleep will feel slower than the previous nights due to the condition of the position boat off the anchor.
The Day Fourth Sail To Komodo Island
While enjoying the last day trip on the island of Kelor 2 hours drive again to Labuan Bajo
This morning you will be awakened by the sound of the boat engine that we are riding towards Rinca Island, approximately 2 hours drive.
I suggest you get up and sit on the edge of the boat because at this time many dolphins will chase the boat you are riding, while jumping on the left and right side of your boat.
After breakfast and drink coffee and warm tea which is always available throughout the day. Approximately we will arrive at the port of Loh Buaya on Rinca island at 8 am straight to the check in point gate.
The Trip boat guide that we are riding will take care of everything as we do at Loh Liang check in point on Komodo island but here we don’t have to pay a fee camera anymore.
Because it’s already one package with a previous fee, hiking on Rinca Island is a little different from hiking on Komodo Island, on Rinca Island, the fields are like open meadows or Savana.
Very few trees and very clear we will be able to see wild animals passing from near and far, such as buffalo, antelope, horse and certainly Komodo.
Every now and then we can see Komodo eating a deer or having a meal with a large buffalo.
The habit here after completing hiking on Rinca the group took photos together, posing back to the ocean which looked beautiful for the results of photography.
Hiking di pulau Rinca sambil melihat habitat Komodo di alam terbuka
From Rinca island the group turned to the boat for lunch which was ready while the boat moved towards the direction of Labuan Bajo.
The group will be invited to stop at Kelor Island for snorkeling and sunbathing activities on the beach, for Caucasians of course.
The scenery around the island is quite good, the water is clear, so we can see fish that are big enough from the boat.
If you want to take photos, you can also climb up the hill on the island of Kelor, as you can see on the front page of this blog.
The condition of Labuan Bajo, photographed from the ferry to the port of Sape (Bima)
About 2pm we continue the journey to the port city, Labuan Bajo. Now here is the end of the Trip (4H / 4M). Last night there were two choices for overnight.
Namely if you cannot get accommodation in Labuan Bajo then for the last night you can spend the night in a boat and in the morning you can find transport for your next destination.
But on the last night sail to Komodo island on the boat there was no service for dinner, so to have dinner just by walking hundreds of meters you can get in Labuan Bajo.
Many migrant warung traders, especially those from the Bugis tribe or Bajo tribe in South Sulawesi and the Javanese tribe, the location of this shop is mostly lined up on the edge of the roadside.
On the sidewalk, the road is quite wide, which is deliberately built for culinary peddlers. Then what about the shower after finishing Trip Boating?
I suggest that you come to the waiting room building at the PELNI port, there are those who sell food and drinks named “Pak Kahar” from Pak Kahar who can rent a bathroom before looking for a culinary place.
The fee is around Rp 10,000 because the shower is pretty clean (port facilities too) but “Pak Kahar” the status is to rent a place to sell in the waiting room.
“Pak Kahar also, a descendant of Bugis who has long been on a boating trip to the island of Komodo from Lombok and as director of” Wannua Adventure. “

Access to the three Gili Islands (Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air) is primarily through the Bangsal port which at certain times the Bangsal port is closed, along with the closure of the Sheet port or other ports in Indonesia, with many annual phenomena of trucks queued at various ports in the country for reasons of bad weather.
Likewise, what happened at the port of Ward had many ferry boats parked in the port of Bangsal because they had to be evacuated because the nature of the waves seemed calm on the surface, but in the depths of the sea currents were very strong. ‘Sorong or Dorong means is “Push” in English, taken from the character of this wave which encourages their boats to park until it is crashed by this seasonal wave.
Temporary port directions “Umbak Belek”
Unlike the waves that generally look bumpy but the boat is still operated, at the time the wave of Sorong almost looks the waves are not too big but in the depths of the currents are so fast that the situation on the beach “the waves can slam boats up to 2 meters high, moments like this it only lasts a few days, the range of 3 to 5 days from the Bangsal port will be diverted to the Sira coast which is not far a few kilometers away which is still visible from the port of Bangsal.
The port, even though this is better known as the name, adjusts to the beach “Umbak Belek” Umbak means wave, Belek means big (Sasak language), so the beach means big waves, because this beach is often used when high waves or Sorong waves occur, it is practically mandatory every year (in February), this location is only 2 km north of the Bangsal port.
Access to the emergency port of the beach Ombak Belek located in the Sira beach area must cross a hectare of coconut gardens under which are planted with tubers such as cassava, sweet potatoes, peanuts which at that time must be crushed by the wheels of the vehicle traveling cars that deliver tourists cross to 3 Gili. When a situation like this, the passenger capacity of 60 people must be filled in half, which is 30 passengers so that the boat or boat crossing is easy to control.
DAMRI Bus operating at Lombok International Airport
Every passenger is required to use a life jacket to keep the possibility of an unexpected occurrence. Price for the ticket is doubled become IDR 30,000 / person to Gili Trawangan, IDR 28,000 / person for Gili Meno and IDR 24,000 / person to go to Gili Air, so ticketing counter in Bangsal will temporarily move to the temporary port with emergency service conditions.
With ordinary benches and palm-roofed roofs, the officers serve everyone who wants to cross to the 3 Gili, of course this makes the boat owners happy a little because there is an additional departure schedule during the season “Sorong waves, as well as motorcycle taxi drivers will get the opportunity to get passenger transportation from the port of Bangsal to the beach of Sira because many employees working on 3 Gili leave motorbikes at the motorcycle seat in Bangsal.
Arriving at Lombok international airport or LIA, you can use a taxi, fare can be seen on the meter for a fee of less than IDR 250,000 (2 hour trip) You cannot use the Grab application at Lombok airport because this online transportation is deemed not licensed and considered damage prices, frequent complain and riots at airports so online taxi users are often expelled by licensed travel.
Can use a private car but the exact cost is more expensive or a travel car picks up with a guide, depending on your choice and needs, you can also use the Damri shuttle car from the airport to Mataram or to Senggigi at a very low cost this is suitable for backpackers, fare to Mataram is only IDR 25,000 / person and for the destination Senggigi IDR 30,000 / person, where to buy the ticket, please go to the DAMRI counter at the airport exit.
There is also public transport from the airport, but this will take a lot of time, which is definitely cheaper and have to stop at the Praya terminal after that, then proceed to the bus terminal at Mandalika station in Bertais 7 km from the city of Mataram.
From here you have to take a bus that goes to Tanjung, get off at the intersection of Pemenang, then take the cidomo to Bangsal, when you arrive in Bangsal, go directly to the counter where you can order tickets at the Karya Bahari cooperative office, for sure you will lose a lot of time because you are waiting.
Every vehicle that comes in must enter the terminal area, pay attention to the arrow in the picture, it is prohibited to qualify except for the purpose of picking up a certain passenger
For those who come by car or tourism bus all vehicles must enter the Bangsal bus terminal area, except that Cidomo can go directly to the ferry port, from Bangsal terminal to hanaya port about 200 meters away, all vehicles must get off at the terminal with the intention that Cidomo hopes to be able to get passengers.
This is the tactics of the local government to be able to share fortune but you are not forced to ride Cidomo if you want the road to Bangsal port that doesn’t matter, Cidomo or horse cart for 3 passengers the cost is IDR 30,000 and each price period can also change following inflation.
When you want to cross, you can buy a ticket at the Karya Bahari cooperative counter for IDR 15,000 / person to cross to Gili Trawangan with a 30 minute crossing, sometimes it can also be less, because each boat has a different engine capacity.
it’s 40PK to 115KP boats that go to Gili Trawangan are bigger than boats that go to other Gili and the maximum capacity is limited to 60 passengers but there are always additional passengers because there are passengers who are lazy to buy tickets, this possibility becomes additional for those who collect tickets and captain boat, have also been orderly must use a ticket but soon this illegal rule returns.
Where to buy crossing tickets for three Gili in buildings with blue tiles.
Ticket prices of IDR 14,000 / person for crossing to Gili Meno are approximately 25 minutes and ticket prices of IDR 12,000 / person for crossing to Gili Air are approximately 20 minutes if you are a group of less than 15 people can also cross a boat charter of IDR 375,000 to Gili Trawangan, IDR 350,000 to Gili Meno and IDR 280,000 to Gili Air.
After buying a public ticket, you can go directly to the beach or to the waiting room to wait for the announcement when the boat is declared full while the boat charter will be immediately announced to depart.
Each boat is pegged 60 passengers, then the boat is declared full, but now the benchmark can be more because the boat capacity can be up to hundreds of passengers because the boat is getting bigger, then getting ready on the seaside on the boat. Before going up it is necessary to recognize the color of the ticket that you hold because in one departure in one boat must be the same ticket color.
Boats operating on the three Gilis are given different character colors so that passengers are more familiar with the boat they are going to ride or don’t get a boat wrong, the destination to Gili Trawangan boat is colored red and white, operating to Gili Meno given a red paint color yellow and blue and white paint for boats operating to Gili Air.
Prospective passengers who are waiting for a full boat while waiting for the selling items they will bring to the 3 Gili
At this port, the service might be rather poorly coordinated, whether there is anything behind the system or procedure because when the boat was declared full, the porters rushed to raise the goods of the merchants who were selling on the Gili, meaning that when the announcement was made through the loudspeaker that the boat was full for color certain ticket.
But we have to wait for the porters to raise the goods on the boat and after boarding the passengers are difficult to step on because the boat has too many side dishes and basic necessities for commodities that will be sold on the Gili.
So the passengers have to step on the seat with the feet are wet and sandy which makes the seat dirty because of wet conditions and a lot of sand used by the feet of the passengers themselves, this condition is indeed very uncomfortable (the situation that I described now has changed to orderly and not waiting and better even when on board the passenger boat is prohibited from smoking and many operating boats are changed to become larger)
Pelabuhan publik boat di gili Trawangan
In addition there are other alternatives for those who want to cross to Gili, currently there are fast boats (fast boats) that are operated for the choice of those who want to cross faster and the feet do not have to wet touching water as if using a publick boat, there is a dock or jetty next east of the pier by paying a ticket for IDR 85,000 / person and can buy a ticket in the same place, namely at the Koprasi counter “Karya Bahari.
This fast boat has a 7 times crossing schedule in one day operating from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. route (Bangsal – Gili Trawangan) as for the departure schedule that has been set for departure from Ward at 09:00 am, 10:30 am, 11:30 am, 01:00 pm at 02:30 pm, 03:30 pm and 04:30 pm then fast boats crossing from Gili Trawangan to Bangsal leave at 09:30 am, 11:00 am, 12:00 pm, 01:30 pm, 03:00 pm, 04:00 pm and at 05:00 pm and every departure stops at Gili Air and Gili Meno for lowering passengers and also raising passengers.
Main Pier speed boat in Gili Trawangan, now has collapsed due to the earthquake on August 5 2018
Other access to the 3 Gili can be via the speed boad port which is operated through the Telok Kodek or Teluk Nara ports approximately 5 km from the Bangsal port to the west at a cost of IDR 500,000, a maximum of 5 passengers but for large speed boats it can also accommodate up to 12 passengers and take about 10 minutes to 12 minutes to cross to Gili Trawangan depending on the strength of the engine and the number of people taken, also depending on the weather.
At present the prices are very tight because there are no technical agreements between speed boat owners on Gili with people who have speed boats in Nara Bay or Kodek Bay because they are still in dispute and decide the results are not appropriate for a while because between both parties do not allow each other to take passengers in their respective areas.
Fast boat with Bali route – Lombok and Lombok – Bali operates every day
As for other access to Gili Trawangan using fast boats from Bali with almost every half hour arrivals, each average fast boat has a capacity of 60 passengers to 115 passengers coming from Serangan, Sanur, Lembongan, Padang Bai and Amed ports in Bali with destination routes to Senggigi, Teluk Nara, Teluk Kodek, Bangsal (Lombok) and 3 Gili (Trawangan, Meno and Air)
Prices ranging from IDR 350,000 to 690,000 depending on the port of origin, facilities provided, convenience and competitive ticket prices between fast boat companies. What is certain is that prices can change, especially during peak tourist season, fast boat ticket prices with Bali – Lombok route can rise almost 2-fold.
Other access is by using a shuttle bus from Bali where you can buy ticket tickets at information counters in Bali at a price of RIDR 250,000 / person. This ticket includes transportation from Kuta, Ubud, Sanur, Seminyak to Padang Bai port, Ferry tickets from Padang port Bai (Bali) to the port of Lembar (Lombok)
Shuttle bus transport from Sheet harbor to the ports of Bangsal, the city of Mataram and Senggigi, boat tickets crossing from Bangsal port to Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, all organized by the shuttle bus company there is a pick-up at each port.
There are already administrators until you reach your destination except that local passengers for this type of trip are often protested at Padang Bai port until there is an unofficial agreement that local passengers are not permitted to use this trip because the public transport service feels that the passenger share is taken apart from the presence of a partner. foreign tourists or there is one who looks Caucasians because they think that this type of transport is specifically for foreign tourists.
Landasan Helikopter disisi barat pulau gili Trawangan
The last for certain people in the sense of the words rich people, important people, high-ranking state officials can use the transport of helicopters operated by Air Bali and the location of the helicopter take off is located in the southern part of Trawangan island precisely at the sunset point area.
You could say tourists using this transport is very rare which is certain because the cost of the rent is expensive. The Karya Bahari cooperative operates boats between 3 Gili (Trawagan, Meno and Air) which are more popularly called ” Hopping Island Boat. ”
Operating from Gili Air at 8:50 a.m. to Gili Meno, drop off passengers on Gili Meno, then take passengers to Gili Trawangan at 9:15 a.m., leaving for Gili Trawangan to drop off and pick up passengers at 09:30 am from Gili Trawangan to Gili Meno lower and raise passengers at 09:45 am boat to Gili Air approximately until 10:00 am.
The afternoon trip ” Island Hopping boat ” departs from Gili Air at 03:00 pm to Gili Meno then from Gili Meno to Gili Trawangan departing at 3:20 pm to Gili Trawangan, from Gili Trawangan at 04:00 pm to Gili Meno from Gili Meno to Gili Air at 4:15 p.m. and arrived at Gili Air around 04:30 pm you can also use the inter-island transport if when you are on one of the Gili it’s too long to cause boredom for visit the other island, you can buy the ticket at the port counter with a price that is twice the ticket price for crossing to Bangsal harbor (IDR 35,000 – IDR 40,000)
Why can it be because this boat does not wait for passengers to be full even if the passengers are only a few people this boat has to go according to the schedule that has been set, but in one day you will only be able to visit one Gili and can visit the other Gili on different days.
This ticket you can also buy at the information ticket counter which is lined up at the edge of the beach but at a price more expensive than the ticket price at the port counter because they have to get a profit from ticket prices pegged at the port but some also they don’t want to sell trip tickets this is because the reason is fortunately not how much.
The Lombok people who live in parts of the land are barren, rocky, the hills around it dry, water is very rare, the rain that comes only in the season they live on dry land shaded by tamarind trees.
Your designation is very angry or impolite, it will only be used when someone is angry. The profession of people in Lombok is also very varied for people who live in the city of mayor or regency cities, generally government officials, small, medium and large businessmen in various fields whose economies are more established and well-off as for the poor parking attendants, construction workers, mobile bakers and others.
The above often makes police officers powerless to prevent the situation of cattle theft in South Lombok, even police officers are shaken to investigate cases of cattle theft in Lombok so that around 1995 the police managed to form two Pamswakarsa (security association local) groups called Buru Jejak and Amphibi. These groups were deliberately formed to eradicate theft of livestock that occurred in south Lombok, not infrequently the thieves of cattle were judged by these two groups by being beheaded or slaughtered to give deterrent to the next perpetrators.
This member is also sometimes used for other purposes such as for the forced collection of individuals to collect debts by force and issue an ultimatum against debtors.
