Day 1 – Arrival in Lombok & Sunset on the Coast
Arrive in Kuta, where your driver will greet you at the airport. After checking into our hotel, we’ll take a short trip to a nearby beach for our first sunset shoot (optional for early arrivals). In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner where we meet the group, set expectations, and kick off this incredible photography adventure in Indonesia.
Day 2 – Salt Fields, Fishermen & Ekas Beach
We start the day photographing Kuta’s beach life before heading east. Along the way, we’ll capture striking portraits of salt field workers and explore a bustling fishing village. After checking in at our hotel near Ekas, we’ll finish the day with a golden-hour shoot of coastal life at sunset.
Day 3 – Fish Market Frenzy & Rice Terraces of Tetebatu
One of the highlights of the tour: the busy fish market where boats unload their catch and hundreds of people barter for seafood in a colorful frenzy. We’ll also shoot salt factories before driving to the cool mountain area of Tetebatu. The day ends with magical views of the rice terraces at sunset.
Day 4 – First Photo Review & Farmers in the Fields
After our first group photo review and feedback session, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring the Tetebatu region. We’ll photograph farmers planting or harvesting rice, working buffalo in the fields, and capture authentic portraits of rural life in Lombok.
Day 5 – Local Market & Village Life
We’ll head out early to one of Lombok’s busiest rural markets, set against a backdrop of stunning rice terraces. In the afternoon, we’ll dive deeper into village life, shooting farmers, children, and daily activities in small communities. This is authentic people photography at its best.
Day 6 – Into the Highlands of Sembalun
Today we drive to the fertile valley of Sembalun, framed by Mount Rinjani and surrounding volcanoes. Known as Lombok’s vegetable basket, this is where farmers cultivate much of the island’s produce. Expect plenty of photo opportunities with farmers at work, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
Day 7 – Sunrise in Sembalun & Coffee Growers
We rise early to capture sunrise over Sembalun’s incredible landscapes. Afterwards, we’ll wander through villages and fields, photographing morning routines. In the afternoon, we’ll meet coffee growers and more local farmers, capturing powerful portraits and daily labor.
Day 8 – Second Photo Review & Street Photography in Mataram
The morning is dedicated to our second photo review session. Afterward, we’ll journey towards Lombok’s capital, Mataram, stopping at interesting photo locations along the way. Once in the city, we’ll head into the historical quarter for dynamic street photography.
Day 9 – Vegetable Market & Final Photo Review
At sunrise, we’ll visit Mataram’s massive vegetable market, where produce from across Lombok arrives to be traded and distributed. It’s chaotic, colorful, and full of photo opportunities. In the afternoon, we’ll hold our final group photo review before wrapping up the tour with a relaxed sunset shoot by the beach.
Day 10 – Farewell & Departure
For those with late flights, an optional sunrise shoot will be arranged at one of our favorite locations. Afterward, we’ll organize airport drop-offs. End of tour.
