Surrounded by majestic mountains and scenic beaches, Lampung offers many beautiful yet untouched natural wonders for adventurous souls.

One of the most well-known destinations is Pahawang Island, which has breathtaking scenery. Here, you can relax on the white sandy beaches or explore the underwater riches, like vibrant coral reefs with colorful clown fishes.

Next up is Kiluan Bay, a hidden gem of Lampung that is popular as a dolphin-sighting spot. Watching these adorable marine mammals swim around the turquoise waters will surely be an unparalleled experience.

Gigi Hiu Beach is also a destination you mustn’t miss out on. This beach boasts a stunning view of a shore adorned with jagged rocks that resemble rows of shark teeth. Combine that with the picturesque sunrise or sunset, and you’ll have one unforgettable experience.

There are many beautiful beaches you can visit in Lampung, such as the beaches in Pulau Pahawang and Gigi Hiu Beach. But you can also check out other beaches, such as Batu Lapis Beach and its lovely view of layers of rock formations against the blue sea.

If you enjoy surfing, then you have to visit Tanjung Setia Beach. This spot is a favorite for many surfers because of its endless waves. There’s also Mutun Beach which offers many exciting activities for sports lovers, like parasailing, canoeing, or jet skiing.

For those looking for calm beaches with gentle waves that are suitable for families and children, you can visit Klara Beach, Sari Ringgung Beach, and Pasir Putih Beach.

There are several national parks in Lampung. One notable national park is the Way Kambas National Park that is famous for its diverse wildlife, including Sumatran Elephants, Sumatran Tigers, and Sumatran Rhinoceros.

It is worth noting that at the time of writing this, Way Kambas National Park is closed to the public for maintenance purposes and will be reopened in the middle of 2023.

In the meantime, you can check out other natural reserves in Lampung, such as Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, which offers opportunities for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts to explore the rich biodiversity of the region.

The best time to go dolphin watching in Kiluan Bay is generally during the dry season (May to September), as the weather is usually more favorable with calmer seas, making it easier to spot dolphins and enjoy a smooth boat ride.

It's recommended to plan your trip in the early morning, as dolphins are often more active during this time.

Some local dishes you must try when visiting Lampung include gulai taboh (saltwater fish with coconut milk), pindang patin (sharkfish cooked with broth made of spices), and seruit (grilled fish with chili shrimp paste and mango).
