Green Rinjani Trekking — Attraction in Lombok

We engaged Green Rinjani for our 3d2n summit package from 5th Oct - 7th Oct 2023. We went with the Deluxe package and we had no regrets cause we had the best of everything!

Green Rinjani picked us up from airport on 4th Oct 2023 and we had 2 comfortable Innova cars for 6 of us. We headed straight to Green Rinjani Guest House for our 1st night stay and it was really comfortable and clean!! We were so hungry that night and they gave us a wholesome fried rice / nasi goreng for dinner.

We started the hike on 5/10/2023 and we met our guides, Pahmi & Awing and also 7 porters! We had the MOST AMAZING hiking guide and porters! They were responsible, friendly, kind and provided the BEST service. Our guides Pahmi & Awing even went out of the way to carry our personal bags and pulled us up to the summit!!

Definitely could not have done the summit without the kindness of our guides. Shoutout to both Pahmi & Awing for being fantastic in what they do! ❤️

They both are super kind & thoughtful!!

Our 7 porters were amazing. They made sure we had enough fruits, food and drinks at all times throughout the trip. They constantly checked on us and made sure we were never ever hungry. Shoutout to them for carrying heavy load which consisted of our 3d2n of supplies (food, fruits, can drinks, water and even beer!!!).. mind you, they wore flip flops and hiked up with 30-40kgs load each!! Amazing supermen!!

Our porters also cooked extremely delicious food such as rendang satay, curry vegetable, tempeh, tofu, indo mee goreng, omelette, Pisang goreng (banana fritters) with cheese, pancake, cheese toasties etc etc during our stay. They even put so much of thought in the presentation of food. You could see fruits were cut in beautiful shapes!!

The porters pitched our tents and set up tables and chairs for us, ensuring that we had comfortable sleep. Green Rinjani also provides very comfortable foam mattress and thick sleeping bags! We had no issue with the strong wind and cold at night..

All in all, I’d highly recommend Green Rinjani as they provide the best of the best.

Safety is their priority. Not to mention, environment is also their main concern. They made sure no trash was left behind.

Shoutout to Arie from Green Rinjani as he was very responsive before, during and after the trip.

In conclusion, Green Rinjani made sure we had fun and a good time up on the mountain without compromising on safety and the most comfortable stay.

Couldn’t be more thankful for our guides Pahmi and Awing, the boss Arie and his assistant Khana, our drivers, Ang, Wildan and Hadi and not forgetting our 7 amazing kind porters.

Already looking forward to returning to Rinjani next year and definitely engaging Green...

Green Rinjani Lombok (2D1N Komodo)

I would like to give an honest review about my 2D1N Tour that i booked greenrinjani.com

The Tour included and overnight stay on the boat, some Diving Spots, Beaches and the famous Komodo Island.

First of all the crew was very friendly, young people (19) and the food was very very good.

The cabin was ok. It smelled moldy and there where stains on the sheets, but I could tolerate it for a night (I was already on board anyway).

I paid in cash. 2.3000.000 Indonesian Rupiah (145 Dollar) and also got asked to pay for the Komodo Park entrance fee 500.000 (31 Dollar).

The Diving spots where fantastic. The second one on pink beach even had life corals...But the Komodo Park was a total SCAM.

We reached the island (full of garbage btw) and got introduced to two "Rangers".

They told us there are 3 routes available and ask us wich one we want to to. A Crew member answered quickly "medium"!

I was relieved that at least it wasn't the short tour. The crew told me before we will spend 1 hour on the island, exploring.

After 10 Minutes of mostly meaningless talking the ranger said "I hope we will be lucky to see some dragons" and then we finally started the adventure!

After 2 Minutes of walking away (behind the village) there where 2 lifeless Komodos under a tree, next to the walking path. What a luck...! What follows is a 10 Minutes picture time.

1 Minute more of walking to the next tree. Again two lifeless Komodos! Omg we are soo lucky! Again 10 Minutes Picture time....

Suddenly the ranger said in a dramatic tone: "look Komodo near the medical center!!!“ (a fenced Hall) and there where 3 guys with sticks guiding a Komodo out of the fenced area in our direction. Wow we are so lucky...!

It almost seem like they keep unsedated Komodos near to release them whenever they needed ;) The animal was guided to us an laid down, taking a reliving breath in the sun..... PICTURE TIME!

After that, the amazing 1 hour trekking tour on Komodo island was over......

SHAME ON YOU, Komodo Island. And shame on me for supporting this animal cruelty with a lot of money.

I don't know where the entrance fee for the Park, wich I paid to the crew member, went. Guess they splitt it with the so called "Rangers". But we never been on the actual Park...

Beside this SCAM, the tour was realy OK. Basically the same tour all the agency's there sell..

Thanks for reading this review, I hope it will spare you from the visit and the disappointment of Komodo Island. Beside this, enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of Indonesia and have...

We highly recommend Green Rinjani for your trip. Everything went smoothly with perfect organization. We were picked up from the harbor by a great driver who shared insights about Lombok. The accommodation had a beautiful view of the rice terrace, and the room was spacious, with a comfortable bed. Lunch was offered upon arrival, and the food was good. The staff provided helpful tips for nearby waterfalls, which we would recommend if you have time. The next morning after breakfast, we needed an hour to get to the starting point. We have seen other people being transported on a truck, while we were comfortable seated in the car.

The tour itself was really really tough and I would only recommend people with a good fitness level to go up there. Especially to the summit in the next morning is challenging. However, it is definitely worth it! When we arrived at the camp our tant and the sleeping bags were already ready, and we could warm up after a rainy finish. For an energizer we had fried bananas, which were the best I have eaten so far and got some ginger tea. A table and chairs were provided for a best view on the mountains and lake. Additionally, our guide was taking amazing photos and videos of us! It was amazing. Also, the dinner was really good, and we were able to choose from 4 different dishes. We had a good night, as the tent was wind proof and the sleeping bags kept us really warm. The mattresses were very comfortable. Before we went up to the summit, we got a pre breakfast. The hike up was exhausting, but our guide always had cookies and sweets with him, which energized us. Also 1,5l bottles were always provided by Green Rinjani for every day. At the summit a warm cacao awaited us. At the camp again we got another breakfast which was good as well! When we came down back to the starting point, really exhausted, our driver was already there. With him everything we left in our room was packed, as we were directly driven to Kuta Lombok.

All in all, it was a great experience and definitely worth the pain! The guide and the porters were really accommodating and friendly. Respect to the porters who transported our food and tents, etc. on their back only with flipflops. Overall, the organization was just perfect. Especially the price is really reasonable for what is included: pick up and drop off to everywhere on Lombok, delicious food and enough to drink, a good accommodation and a good tour guide. We are really glad we picked Green Rinjani as there is nothing we could complain about. Thank you for the...
