Tour module 4 days Gili Trawangan from Bali
The coral island is full of palm trees and is surrounded by sandy beaches with beautiful coral reefs and a colorful underwater world. So it's great snorkeling or diving here. There is a good chance that you will encounter a turtle while snorkeling between the islands of Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan. Gili Trawangan is known as the party island. In the evenings there is always a reggae band playing on the beach. You can eat delicious food at the night market. Chill at your swimming pool, on the beach or in one of the trendy lounges or beach clubs.
Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan are located on the northwest coast of Lombok of which Gili Meno is the quietest island and is mainly visited by honeymooners. Gili Air is already a bit busier than Gili Meno and on Gili Trawangan the nightlife is noisy in addition to the tranquility in the north.
The Gili islands are easy to reach from south and east Bali. Several fast boats sail to the Gili islands in about 2 to 3 hours every day. From Lombok you will be transferred to the Bangsal harbor to sail to Gili Trawangan in about half an hour.
There is no motorized traffic on any of the Gili Islands.

Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan is the biggest of the three Gili islands and is accessible by boat from both Bali and Lombok.There are many shops, diving schools, restaurants, lounge bars and excursion offices, in short there is plenty to do on Gili Trawangan.
If you’re looking for some more tranquillity, then one of the other Gili islands is probably more suited to you. Gili Trawangan can be very noisy in the evening. Every night there’s a reggae band playing on the beach. The atmosphere on the island has very little to do with Indonesia.
Favourite restaurant
According to Vera, the place to eat is the Gili Trawangan night market. You will find local Sasak specialties and, for sure, a lot of fish and shellfish.Good to know
The island is known as the party island for young people, especially during the busy holiday season. But if you stay a little outside the busy main street it’s much quieter.On none of the Gili islands are motor vehicles, everything is done on foot, by bike or by Cidomo (horse-drawn carriage).
If you want to go into the sea, be careful. There are sharp little stones and pieces of coral in the shallow water and you often have to walk a bit to reach deeper water.
There are several ATMs on the island..
In general there’s no fresh water on the islands for swimming pools and bathrooms, though the more luxurious hotels do often have fresh water to rinse the salty water off.
Padangbai
Padangbai
Padangbai is a fishing village in south east Bali. It’s also the harbour for the ferry to Lombok, which means a lot of (truck) traffic passing by.By far the most beautiful beach is the Blue Lagoon. Here you’ll find diving schools and dive centres and snorkelling is alright.
Not far from Padangbai are Klungkung (with palace and court) and Goa Lawah, the bat cave.
Gili Air
Gili Air
Gili Air is the closest of the three Gili islands to the mainland of Lombok. By boat you can sail from Lombok to the island in about 20 minutes. If you come from Bali, you will sail in about an hour and a half first to Gili Trawangan and then on to Gili Air.As on the other Gili's, diving and snorkeling are the favorite pastimes. There are plenty of PADI certified dive schools to learn to scuba dive or book dive trips. Chilling is of course also a popular activity. At the beach, swimming pool or at one of the many lounges and beach clubs.
There is not yet a large choice of hotels on Gili Air, but that has the advantage that the island is not yet overrun by mass tourism. The Mola-Mola resort on the sunrise side of the island is our favorite (Deluxe suite is recommended). Divers with a limited budget go into the sea with the Two Fish dive center in Villa Karang, the divers with a sufficient budget in the Oceans 5 Dive resort (Pool or Garden bungalow).
Things to see
Different shops, excursion offices and restaurants.At the excursion offices you could for example rent a bike to discover the island, book a day tour to Lombok or book a snorkelling or diving excursion.
A trip with a Cidomo (horse-drawn carriage) around the island is also quite an experience, There are fixed tariffs which are indicated on the board at the harbour.
In about one hour and a half you can walk around the island, if you go by bike it’s sometimes not so easy to ride through the sand.
If you want to go Island hopping you can easily rent a small charter boat to bypass the low frequency of the Public boat.

There is only 1 ATM on the island, frequent electricity failures and often very bad Wifi coverage.
There’s no fresh water for swimming pools and bathrooms on the island. There’s only brackish water.
