I think Bali and Lombok cannot be compared. Because they has unique to each other. You can find something that you can't find in Bali. And you can find something that you can't find in Lombok. Indonesia is Magical 🎉

​@@richarddawkins4607 there's no burka in lombok and people there are far tolerant than white people.

I have visited both. There are some differences between Bali and Lombok. Bali offers entertainment, while Lombok offers tranquility. Bali is very enjoyable for relaxation, but as a retirement destination, I feel Lombok is the best. Thanks for coming to Indonesia 😍

Awesome! I really enjoy watching you guys!!

Love this comparison video you guys! We are hoping to visit Lombok on our next visit to Indonesia 🇮🇩😊

As I usually prever less crowded place for my destination, so Lombok is a win for me. Really enjoy the quite peaceful beautiful long beaches in Lombok ❤ But if you want to look for a unique culture/ tradition or a place to party, Bali is definetely for you.

Joel, your videos are always entertaining, informative, inspirational, and fun. Thanks for another terrific video of another beautiful place. I’m going to plan a trip soon and will use your videos to help me plan my itinerary. Wow! I just noticed that you have more than 95 k subs! I’ve been following you since almost the beginning… congrats!

I really loved this vlog 😊thank you .. both of you are super cute and see the pure happiness in your faces !

Between those islands, u should choose base on ur vacation preferences.. as indonesian, i must say that lombok has more beautiful and peaceful beaches, waterfall and sea water but less accomodation, transportation and baverages (bar, resto, beach club).. also Lomboknese people are not as open minded as balinese. But hey, our country have 17,000 island within 38 provinces.. thats mean there are thousand of beautiful beaches, water fall and else 😂 If u like to snorkling, the best spot is not arround bali nor lombok, the best spot are at Raja Ampat near papua or north Sulawesi.. these are surely on the 10 top spot in the world.

What an epic ...! Nice video artistic...nice video editing...nice copy writing/naration...wonderful jobs and promotion for Indonesia's tourism. Can't hardly wait for your next episode from another amazing places in Indonesia archipelagoes. Thank You very much Joel !

Love this!

Loving these videos

We love your energy!! Great Video.. !!!

Lombok: better beaches and not as crowded, Bali: better nature and culture (artistry, temples, gardens, food etc)

Y'all are amazing. I found y'all last night while having a whiskey, I just love y'all's channel and Indonesia videos. I've actually been talking to an Indonesian girl for 3 years.

Thnks for sharing the video..Lombok is awesome..it is in my wishlist

Simple: Tourists go to Bali, Travelers to to Lombok.

great shot, nice editing and thanks for the extra effort with the drone shot! i just moved to Lombok myself and yeah… its perfect if you enjoy tranquility, want to focus on urself and seek relaxation. plus, you wont find troublesome tourists like in Bali (most ppl who move to Lombok are those tired of the hustle bustle, many are from Bali too) but if you’re a super social and creative person, Lombok might not be the right fit for you..

Definitely worth a visit! Lombok is beautiful, really depending what you prioritise in a place!

Bali or Lombok? Bcoz they are literally neighbors ppl like to set up comparisons and say things like ‘Lombok is Bali thirty years ago…’ Well, on some levels that may be accurate. Lombok does not have the same degree of ‘development’ and ‘exploitation’ that Bali has. But they really are two different locations in quite a number of ways. There are Cultural differences because of religion. Climate is virtually identical. Geography and landscape are similar. Surprisingly Bali and Lombok are on two different tectonic ‘plates’ and are moving past each other. The Lombok Strait is literally a geologic fault line (named the ‘Wallace Line’) that is the plate boundary between two different plates. One is moving under the other. This makes the area very susceptible to earthquakes and sometimes the resulting tsunamis. The two islands definitely different and which one you choose to visit really depends on what you are seeking. You want peace, quiet, relaxation, and space? Then Lombok is the place for you. Want excitement, activities, and energy… choose Bali.

8:03 That view is incredible.

Awesome, so cinematic! I have to finish studying before leaving my place to travel like you two do! Just can’t wait!

I have been to both islands but I actually prefer Lombok - amazing beaches, beautiful scenery, amazing waterfalls, beautiful masjids...and much more peaceful than Bali which is what I love

I’m going travelling for a few months soon to lots of these places on your channel and these videos are so useful! I was just wondering do you take the local currency cash on your trips rather than card and if so how much is a good idea?

Nice video. We’ve now been to Lombok twice in the last 3 months and absolutely love the peace and quiet. The beaches are stunning and the water is blue! If u really want the party vibe then Bali (or gili in Lombok) If u value quiet, rustic then Lombok wins

Enjoy your trip 👍👍

Lombok just edges it for me. I plan to relocate there one day hopefully. Inshallah

Great sharing

We love Lombok too and been so many times there. For holiday it's alright. But to live it's quite difficult for us. We work remote and many times in the evening or night, then we eat also always very late and in Lombok it's quite difficult to find some good food after 10pm. Everything is almost closed, except ayam or bebek lalapan there is less food you can find in the evening. So to life, we prefer Bali.

Thankyou

both are heaven on earth

I love both 😍 The best of Bali : Nusa Penida Island, Kintamani, Panglipuran village, night life at Seminyak n Ubud. The best of Lombok : Mount Rinjani, Gili Trawangan, Selong Belanak Beach.

Lombok has more beautiful beaches ... Maybe you can visit Bawean Island near East Java It's not as beautiful as other places in Indonesia, but it has fantastic historical value because Bawean Island is one of proof that Atlantis existed in Sundaland (Indonesia) according to the results of research by engineer Dhani Irwanto as a hydrologist, Prof. Arysio Santos & Stephen Oppenheimer.

Visit the Sumatra region of Indonesia, especially West Sumatra. There are many beautiful natural attractions there, and West Sumatra is the Bali of western Indonesia. You want beautiful beaches, islands Exotic islands, the most delicious food in the world "Rendang and Nasi Padang, unique culture, beautiful mountains, hills and valleys, dozens of beautiful waterfalls, The lake is beautiful and wide, then what is currently viral is a place that is similar to Switzerland in Alahan Panjang, so everything is green and surrounded by mountains and there are also 3 lakes, and one more Mentawai Island is an international surfing spot and there are still indigenous Mentawai tribes. That is the beauty offered in West Sumatra Hopefully someday you can visit, take care of your health

I think that 10 years from now you may prefer lombok ❤

30 yrs ago, there were no traffic in Bali,, I would have the bike to myself cruising the rice patty. There were more dogs then tourists. I guess most people cant afford a car those day.

How’s internet speed in Lombok?

There's definitely a sweet spot between developed and over-touristed, and Lombok hasn't found it yet. Unfortunately it just doesn't have the culture that makes Bali so attractive.

I think in general younger people would like Bali and it's liveliness better, and older people that have been there done that would prefer more serene Lombok.

I prefer Lombok... the lokal cuisine is so good

Lombok will never be Bali 20years ago because the Balinese culuture and people are so unique. Also just because there is rice fields and monkeys doesn’t mean it’s mini Ubud :). There is no temples like in ubud, no foot like in ubud etc… I get the comparison but in the end it’s two totally different islands with unique landscapes and culutures and you probably should visit both 😅. The quality of your videos is amazing!

Lombok keren love Lombok

I visited Lombok last week and also the Gili Islands. Of course I also know Bali. I didn't like Lombok at all. Even more trash like in Bali. The beaches almost all looked the same in Lombok. I also found that it is much more expensive there than in Bali. I often felt ripped off. They were friendly but really want money for everything and more like in Bali. I think Bali just has a lot more flair. Because of Hinduism.

I've been to both. I didn't like Lombok for these reasons: the trash is everywhere, the beaches are very dirty, and the locals try to sell you anything aggressively. Bali is cleaner, the locals are friendly, and the culture is unique.

Bali is over tourism and many tourist trap but the culture remains the unique attraction point being the only Hindu majority island. Lombok is less developed and remained a "real paradise" for those who are seeking more peaceful and quieteness with much less tourist. It all depends on what you want for a holiday,if you like to meet people and party then Bali it is 😅. If not Lombok totally very beautiful 😊

I think Sumba and Sumbawa are even more empty of tourists. Just everybody in Bali and Nusa Penida
