Discover Senaru Crater Rim Trek

We focus on personalized experiences, environmental sustainability, and community engagement. Our ‘leave no trace’ policy and passion for Lombok’s culture and nature make us unique.

Trekking Mount Rinjani is best done during the dry season (April to November), when weather conditions are favorable for trekking and the views are spectacular. The season runs from 1st April to 31st December.

Mount Rinjani last erupted in 2016, and since then, its activity has been closely monitored by Indonesia’s Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center. Trekking is considered safe, as the park authorities only allow access when conditions are stable. Safety is our top priority, and we stay updated on all volcanic activity to ensure the well-being of our trekkers.

Yes, but it requires a good level of fitness. We offer different routes and packages, such as the Senaru Crater Rim trek, which is ideal for beginners and families.

Our guides have many years experience guiding on the mountain, and are trained in first aid. We also provide high-quality equipment and carefully plan itineraries to ensure a safe and enjoyable trek.

Group size depends on the tour package, but the average is 4-6 people. Our minimum number to run a trek is 2 people unless an individual wants to pay for a private trek. Private treks can be arranged for groups at no extra cost—in fact, we offer discounts for group bookings of four or more people.

Yes, we do offer discounts for group bookings of over 4 PAX. These are usually done on a sliding scale, with a discount for a booking of 4-7 PAX, and a greater discount for group bookings of more than 8 PAX.

No, accommodation is not included in our standard treks, as many people travel to Senaru on the morning of the trek. Not including accommodation allows us to keep the cost of the trek down. Some of our multi-day packages do include accommodation—please check out the individual tour pages for more information.

We set-up our Sasak Warriors initiative in 2018, which provides food aid, education, and environmental support to local communities. A percentage of our trekking and restaurant profit, and 100% of profits from our Sasak Warriors merch go to this cause.

Our office is in Senaru, but we now do pre-trek briefings at our new restaurant, Cafe Rinjani Dawn. This allows customers to enjoy refreshments, coffee, food, and a beautiful view before starting their adventure.

All trekkers need an official permit to enter Gunung Rinjani National Park. We handle all permit arrangements as part of our tour packages, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

There are many beautiful waterfalls to visit in Lombok, but we recommend Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep as excellent choices. The Senaru Waterfall Trail, which starts and finishes close to our restaurant, Cafe Rinjani Dawn, is a stunning walk that can be enjoyed by all levels.

Yes, we offer private treks at no extra cost for groups. Individuals can also book private treks if preferred, but we have to add a surcharge for this option. Private treks are a great option for those seeking a more personalized and exclusive experience.

Most of our trekking packages include transport to and from the trekking starting point. Transport details are specified on individual tour pages, so you can easily plan your trip. We have a travel zone map which shows you which areas are included, and which areas entail a surcharge.

We invoice for deposits using PayPal. The outstanding payment can be made on the day of the trek by cash, credit card, or PayPal. We also accept transfers to our bank account via Wise and Revolut. Providing our customers with secure and convenient payment options is important to us.
