Authentic Local Experiences in Lombok & Komodo
Island Compass is operated by Eko Hadiyansyah Surya Atmaja, a licensed local guide based in Lombok, Indonesia.
I specialize in private tours, snorkeling adventures, cultural experiences, and authentic local journeys across Lombok and Komodo.
My goal is simple: help travelers experience Indonesia beyond the typical tourist route.
My Story
I was born and raised in Lombok, Indonesia.
After working abroad and gaining experience in international hospitality, I returned home with a deeper appreciation for the culture, nature, and local communities that make Indonesia unique.
Over the years, I have guided travelers from around the world, sharing hidden beaches, traditional villages, rice terraces, waterfalls, snorkeling spots, and local stories that many visitors never discover on their own.
Through Island Compass, I aim to create meaningful travel experiences that connect people with the authentic side of Lombok and Komodo.
