Water Sport

WATER SPORTS
With so much water surrounding the islands, there are plenty of water sport options available, especially for thrill-seekers. Many hotels and tour operators can arrange water-skiing, biscuiting, wake boarding or speedboat hires just for fun. Try Ferrari Water Sports on Gili Trawangan. For more sedate water activities, there are also kayaks and wind surfers for hire.

In the right conditions, there are good surf breaks off Gili Air and Gili Trawangan. Surf boards are for hire along the beachfront and experienced local surfers will act as your guide.

Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUP)

Gili Paddle. With Graham Francis, you can learn to stand-up paddle board, or if you are already experienced, you can rent SUP's by the hour.

 

Kayaking

One and two person kayaks are also available to rent at Trawangan Dive's water sports centre, Gili Paddle.

GLASS BOTTOM BOAT
Exploring the waters off the Gilis by glass bottom boat is a peaceful and rewarding way to spend a day, especially with children. Charter a glass bottom boat or join in one of the trips on offer from boat operators on any of the three islands. With clear calm waters and good visibility this is an excellent way to experience the magical beauty of the reefs.

The experienced boat captains will take you to sites where you can marvel at the beauty of the reefs, discover the abundant and colourful sea life, and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of a giant sea turtle!

Sunsets on Gili Trawangan

A steep hill in the center of the island provides some nice views of the coast at sunset. Give yourself plenty of time to walk up the rocky trail and carry a torch and mosquito repellent with you. Read more about how to avoid mosquitoes.

Alternatively, you can walk the main road south to a nice concrete lookout on the west side of the island; sometimes a bonfire and impromptu party begins here at dark as travelers gather.

Showing Respect

The daily adhan (call to prayer) should be a constant reminder that Gili Trawangan is Muslim - topless sunbathing is very frowned upon. Even though others may not, cover up before leaving the beach to walk around the village.

Nightlife On GIli Trawangan

There are three large parties on the island weekly: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday night. The party isn't hard to find, just follow the thumping music and mass of bodies.
A myriad of bars, upscale lounges, and clubs pretty much guarantees that you will find music, televised soccer matches, and social action any night of the week.
Blue Marlin, Rudy's Pub, Sama Sama, and Tir na Nog - known as the "Irish" bar - are popular hot spots on the island.
Drugs, despite being illegal, are ubiquitous in Gili Trawangan. Restaurant menus and signs on the main road literally advertise magic mushrooms. Any food or drink that is described as "special" or "magic" will contain hallucinogenics.

Arak is locally-brewed and is the cheapest alcohol found on the island. Be aware that arak is unregulated and a poisonous batch is believed to be responsible for the 2009 deaths of more than 25 travelers in the Gilis and Bali.

beach of Gili Trawangan

The best beach is found on the northeast corner of the island a short walk north of where the daily boats arrive.
The winding, unpaved roads of the island interior get very dark at night - bring a flashlight with you when walking home at night.

DIVING AND SNORKELLING
There is good snorkelling directly off the beach on all three Gilis. Many small stalls hire snorkelling equipment for the day and it’s easy to float on the gentle currents, watching the colourful parade in the crystal clear waters below.
Of course, the Gilis are famous for superb diving and there is a large selection of professional and experienced dive operators on the islands. Learn how to scuba dive during your holiday, update your skills with Nitrox dives and Technical dive courses, or discover the wonders of night diving.
Visit the accredited dive schools for diving trips and certified dive courses for all ages and levels of experience.

FISHING TRIPS
Whether you want to spend the day lazing on a boat with a cold beer and throwing a line over the side, or are looking for a serious deep sea fishing adventure, the Gilis have all types of fishing options. Line fishing and trawling can be arranged on all islands -- enquire at your hotel or with the local fishing boat operators. On Gili Trawangan, contact The Beach House who can arrange fishing trips and charters with local fishing boats or onboard their boat, “Catch-a-Snapper”. All have experienced captains and fishermen with built in fish finders!

ISLAND HOPPING
All three islands have their own unique style and a day spent island hopping is a good way to discover the Gili of your dreams! Each island is within a short distance of the other and the waters between the Gilis are usually calm. Charter local boats on any of the islands for a day of exploring, or arrange a package tour out on the islands that includes snorkelling, turtle watching or a picnic lunch on a secluded beach

Getting to Gili Trawangan

How to get Gili Trawangan

Getting to Gili Trawangan

From Bali: Daily boats leave from Padangbai (90 minutes from Kuta) to the Gili Islands. Optionally, "fast boats" leave from Benoa Harbor in south Bali and make the journey in less than three hours.
From Lombok: You can charter a boat directly from Senggigi or take a cheap ferry from Bangsal, about an hour from Senggigi. Be wary of touts and scams around Bangsal Harbor.
From Gili Air and Gili Meno: Speedboats make daily runs between Gili Trawangan and the other Gili Islands. These boats pull up to the beach so expect to wade ashore in knee-deep water.

Gili Trawangan

The island of Gili Trawangan in Lombok, Indonesia is a major stop on the well-beaten trail for backpackers in Southeast Asia.

There are no police on Gili Trawangan. Instead, the island is run by a village head which has the final say in all matters. Pool tables, gambling, and dogs - much to the relief of the many resident cats - have been banned on the island by the village head!
Every night on Gili Trawangan is special. Glorious island sunsets are the signal to eat good food and prepare for a dance party that may not stop until the sun rises!

Around Gili Trawangan

Most life on Gili Trawangan is centered on the east side of the island along one main road. Roads and footpaths spider toward the less-developed interior of the island where you will find cheaper accommodation.
A broken road circles the island which can be navigated on foot or by hiring a cidomo (horse-drawn cart). There are no cars or sputtering motorcycles to ruin the idyllic island vibe.

Please note that any kind of motor-driven vehicle is prohibited there to prevent air pollution. To get around, you can rent a bike, or just sit on the back of a cidomo (sleigh pulled by a horse).

Location

Above you can see the world famous Gili Trawangan (trah-wung-un) off the North West coast of Lombok, Indonesia. Gili means "small island". There are many more less developed gilis dotted along the coast, but you are looking at the best known.

Gili Trawangan Hotel is located on Gili Trawangan the most popular of the 3 islands (Trawangan, Meno & Air). People come from all over the world to experience the tropical desert island feel of the Gilis, the coral & deep diving sites, or just to hang out as daytime beachcombers & night time party people for a while. In 2011 Lonely Planet named Gili Trawangan one of its hot destinations. On Gili T the mantra "No cars, No motorcycles, No dogs, No worries" sums up the reason why many take the side trip to Gili T from Bali.
Bali is still the gateway to the Gilis as international flights are not yet able to go direct to Lombok's new airport. From Bali you have 2 options - 1/ An approx 2-2.5 hour fastboat trip direct to the beach on Gili T or 2/ Catch a flight to Lombok (20 minutes + transfer & check-in & waiting times) followed by a road trip (1.5 hour) & finally 10 minutes by speedboat to land on Gili T. Yep option 1/ looks the easiest (except in rough weather).

Whatever option you choose we can arrange transfers from your hotel in Bali to the boat harbour or the airport. If you fly the transfers include pick-up from Lombok Airport for the drive to your waiting speedboat. In both cases you'll be met at your arrival on Gili T & taken to Gili Trawangan Hotel
