Description
Located on the island of Lombok, Mount Rinjani is an active volcano worth exploring. Join us, as we take you to the peak of this stunning mountain in Indonesia.
The trip is an excellent mix of leisure and adventure. The trail offers beautiful views of the grand savannah. You will witness a beautiful sunrise and an awe-inspiring sunset during these 2 days. The route further leads to Lake Segara Anak which lies within the volcano’s crater, a sight no less than magic.
This trip is suitable for beginners and seasoned hikers alike. As long as you fit and used to long walks, you should be just fine!
We’ll begin in Senaru. After an early breakfast, we’ll drive to Sembalun village. Once there, we’ll get ourselves registered and set on our trek. It takes about 2-hours to reach the first stop of POS 1 Pos Pemantauan (1,300 m). You’ll enjoy spectacular views all along. Continuing further, we’ll cross POS 2 Pos Tengengean (1,500m) and POS 3 Pada Balong (1,800m) to finally reach Plawangan Sembalun Crater Rim just in time to see a striking sunset. You’ll spend the night in this picturesque setting.
The following day, we’ll start early at about 3 am and set towards the summit of Rinjani (3,726m). A good hike of about 3-4 hours takes you there to see one of the most beautiful sunrises you are ever likely to see. The top offers outstanding views of Lombok, Bali and Lake Segara Anak.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
