For the holiday
packages, last minute hotel deals, diving,
tours and transfers that you book through
our Tour Division, you do not pay the hotel
but you pay us (Rinjani Explorer - Tour

expenses you may incur, i.e: meals,
alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages, Spa

mentioned in the program, the hotel or third

You can pay us upon your arrival Or when you
meet with our guide in the airport or

do not currently accept payment using credit

during your stay, most hotels accept major
credit cards (VISA, MasterCard or AMEX) with
3-5% additional charges.

dusty. August is the busiest month for
Rinjani National Park. It is very crowded
because many students from all over

ceremonies close to Indonesian Independent
day in Rinjani national park.
