A Family Diving Holiday, from Lombok to Komodo

12 days from £7,960 for 2024 per person

• Lombok
• The Komodo Islands
• Seminyak, Bali

This itinerary features in our Top 10 Family Holidays.

The Komodo Islands are considered to have some of the best dives spots in the world, with an abundance of marine flora and fauna to be spotted, and of course they are home to the indigenous Komodo Dragon.

Begin your trip in the small and relaxed island of Lombok. Located just a short boat ride away from Bali, the island succumbs to a slower pace of life away from the hustle and bustle of popular Bali, but with the same beautiful island interiors and lovely coastline. The Gili Islands to the North West, have picture perfect beaches and plenty of activities to try your hand at. The best of these is arguably the diving, with some fantastic dive locations just a short boat ride off the coast. But don't just look to the waves, Lombok has some spectacular natural beauty in the form of Mount Rinjani, and the fresh water waterfalls that cascade off it. The perfect place for the children to explore.

After four days in Lombok, board your very own private phinisi-style yacht and set sail north to the Komodo Islands. On your second day you will take a stop at Moyo Island and tour around this hidden tropical paradise. Go for a trek through the jungle and climb a waterfall, or venture into a bat cave. Back on the boat for your overnight cruise, full steam ahead to the Komodo Islands, where you'll spend the next few days diving the incredible coral reefs and visiting the resident Komodo Dragons.

To finish your trip, fly from Labuan Bajo to Jimbaran Bay in Bali for a well-earned rest and recuperation on a white sandy beach, and relax in your own private bungalow for the perfect end to your Indonesian adventure.

This tour is purely a suggested itinerary: it can be booked as it is, or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own ideal tailor-made holiday of Indonesia. If you'd like to see similar itineraries, take a look at our Scuba Diving, Beach, Boats, and Family Holiday collections.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
