ARRIVAL Takeover: Mount Rinjani Volcano Trek
Join the ARRIVAL community for a volcanic 10-day journey across Lombok. Spend three days climbing up Mt Rinjani, camp overnight on the craters edge, and then finish sailing to the tropical island of Gili Air to reflect on how f*cken crazy that was. Get your crew together or come solo and join ours.
Overview
The lowdown
There’s bragging rights…and then there’s “I climbed an active volcano and camped on the edge of its crater.” This is that trip. Three days of trekking up Mt Rinjani, camping under stars, and watching sunrise spill over a volcanic lake. Tackling it together with a crew of other ARRIVAL legends. It’s tough on the legs, big on the views, and leaves you feeling like you earned every step, and those bragging rights you'll be telling for years. That's not all, after the trek trade boots for bare feet and a bit of luxury on the tropical island of Gili Air – no cars, no stress, just saltwater, reef, and the kind of slow days that are going to hit a little different after a climb like that.
Highlights
The best bits
The Rinjani Crater Rim Trek
Three days. Two nights. One volcano. Hike through rainforest, camp on the crater rim, soak in volcanic hot springs, and watch sunrise spill across Segara Anak Lake. It’s steep, sweaty, and unforgettable – you’ll be telling this story at the pub for years.
