    I was at Mawun in October 2022. There was a 3ft trim of garbage the whole way along the beach. It was really sad. Same for Tanjung An beach. Pink beach in the south east near Ekas was amazing and the best snorkeling I have ever done.

    I went to both Lombok and Bali, and personally loved Lombok more. I did the Gili Islands from Lombok as a day trip when I stayed in Senggigi Beach area. South Lombok beaches are awesome and been to all of them in the video as well Tanjung Aan Beach as well.

    Just visited Lombok a few months ago - LOVED IT! Especially the west coast! Wow!
    That place is going to ‘blow up’ over the next few years… it has all the ingredients to make a wonderful resort destination and if you want to see it BEFORE it turns into the next Bali… you better get there soon!
    See you there! I'll be living in Senggigi!

    Hey frm Vancouver Island.🇨🇦Nice vid, thks for sharing 🙏 Just booked a flight to KL for next winter, will definitely be flying to Lombok frm there, can’t wait. I’ve only been to North Sumatra in Indo. Did u like Gili T or Lombok more? I love being able to get around by foot bc we are a fam of 5 🤪 Kuta + the Gilis look perfect 👌

    • @wheres_alan
      @wheres_alan  Рік тому +1

      Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏 Hope you enjoy KL. Thats a tough one, both were equally as good. Gili T is small and easily walkable while Lombok you'll need a motorcycle or driver (unless you plan to stay on the beach). If your looking for snorkelling, diving and wild nightlife then Gili T, and if your looking exploration, relaxation, amazing food, and pristine beaches then Lombok.

      ​@@primemarketing7218 yes I agree with you been all the beaches you mentioned. The differences between Bali and Lombok beaches are the landscape I think. Bali has more rocky hills, cave, and canyon I think, while Lombok more green hills. Also Lombok beaches have more length span compared to Bali.
