Quick Gilis’ Tips

  • » Diving and snorkeling are of course the islands’ main draw, as they are treasured with the most spectacular underwater life. Moreover, make sure to take a look at the turtle sanctuary lying on the big beaches in both Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno to learn about them and watch the baby turtles swimming in their pools. Super cute!
  • » Another thing you don’t want to miss is the sunset view on the hill in Gili Trawangan. It’s an amazing sunset with a panoramic view of all the three Gilis, Lombok, and even Bali.
  • » The islands are relatively small; so you can walk them in about 90 minutes by following the coastline, or rent a bike!
  • » Finally, make sure to capture every moment of your trip whether by a camera or by heart.


We will be waiting for the pictures!
