The hike was great. We had an excellent guide and were really impressed by what the porters carried up and were able to prepare on the mountain (the food was excellent). We were picked up at Kuta Lombok and dropped off at Gili Meno by boat (included in the price). That was amazing as well! The only suggestion of improvement was that the zippers on the tent were broken, which caused the tent-flap to fly open a couple of times in the night, so we didn’t get a lot of sleep. But it was all worth it!

We had an amazing time trekking Mount Rinjani, due to part of the mountain being closed we ended up spending 2 days trekking and 1 night up the mountain. I would be mindful when considering whether to do 3 days trekking or 2 days trekking, as we all found it to be fairly hard core and quite tiring even our 17, 19 and 21 year old! You would benefit from good walking shoes! The guides we had, Eunice and Alex, were fabulous. Both knowledgeable and thoughtful, and looked after us very well. What can I say about the porters other than they are extraordinary! Virtually ran up and down the mountain in flip flops, cooked delicious meals for us and sorted out all the tents. That aside, the scenery is stunning, our sunrise was breath-taking and a great experience, and we have fond memories.
