A voyage to Gili Islands

Your exciting day begins with a hotel pick-up from the Senggigi or Mataram area, where you’ll be driven in comfort to the dock. From there, board your boat and cruise across the glistening Lombok Strait toward the stunning Gili Islands. Your first stop is Gili Trawangan, where you'll have three hours to explore. Wander along its picturesque beaches, soak in views of lush hills, and if you're feeling curious, visit the local mosque or explore the island's tunnels. Next, set off to Gili Meno, known for its crystal-clear waters and peaceful atmosphere. Here, you’ll snorkel amidst vibrant reefs, swimming with green and hawksbill sea turtles, and see the underwater sculptures that promote coral growth, contributing to the health of the surrounding marine life.

Island adventures

Your adventure continues on Gili Air, where you'll have time to enjoy lunch at your own expense. Try some local favorites like ikan bakar (grilled fish), a deliciously smoky dish often served with sambal (spicy sauce) and rice. For a refreshing treat, indulge in es kelapa muda (young coconut water), perfect for cooling off. Feeling a bit more adventurous? Rent a bike so you can explore the island while burning some calories or sit back in a cidomo, a traditional horse-drawn carriage as you take in the surrounding sights. The final snorkeling stop is filled with even more underwater excitement, as you swim with turtles and feed colorful fish. As the afternoon sun begins to set, you'll be transported back to Lombok with plenty of stories to share.
