We are a travel company esthablished in 2022, however, our management team has been organising these trip for more than 20 years and has deep roots within the region. The management of our tour previously worked for other boat charters in the area, but a frehs start was felt to be needed, in order to provide the quality of service desired by our customers. This new business also allowed us to draw from our experiences and expestise to tailor-make the ultimate adventure tour.

Our story started in 1992 when our first tour guide mister Parhan, current vice-president, travelled the Indonesian ocean for 7 days and 6 nights to discover the Komodo dragos with foreign travellers. After one year, the current president of Kareem the Explorer, mister Hayatulla joined him in his travels.
Together they explored the endless ocean, wild nature, and stunning views Indonesia has to offer, all on a small boat. Hand in hand they created the 4-days 3-nights tour that exists today, and still allows foreign travellers to discover whale sharks, komodo dragons, turtles, dolphins, and many other exciting experiences that Indonesia has to offer.

To date, Mr Parhan & Mr Hayatullah are still working together as the main leaders of the company and have now managed to involve most of their Lombok community to help in the team making the tour the definition of a community-oriented business.

The current company is much larger its humble beginnings, operating with multiple charter boats and delivering tours for over 180 travellers a week.

Ultimately, Kareem the Explorer is now a huge collaboration of our incredible staff including the captains, tour guides, bus drivers, agents, vegetable man, cooks, marketing team, and many more – all locals from Lombok or Flores!
