Dry Season (April–October)
This is the best time to visit Lombok — sunny days, calm seas for fast boats and snorkeling, and clear conditions for Rinjani trekking. Book well ahead as it is peak season.
Wet Season (November–March)
Expect hotter, more humid weather with short tropical showers and occasionally rough seas. You can still enjoy the island, often with fewer crowds and lower prices, but boat schedules can change.
Events & Festivals
Plan around events like the Mandalika MotoGP race (usually in the dry season) if you are a motorsport fan. Otherwise, the dry season offers the most reliable experience overall.
