Gili Trawangan
About
Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan is the largest and liveliest of Lombok’s three Gilis — turquoise water, turtle snorkeling, dive schools, beach clubs, horseback rides, and a well-known sunset and nightlife scene, all without cars or scooters.
By day you can cycle the island, snorkel or dive, and lounge on long beaches; by night the west-coast bars and beach parties draw a social crowd. Quieter corners still exist if you choose the right stretch of sand or a calmer stay.

How to Get Gili Trawangan
Gili Trawangan is reached by boat from mainland Lombok. A private speedboat from Teluk Nare is the most comfortable option for groups; public boats also run via Bangsal.
- Land transfer from Senggigi, Mataram, or the airport to Teluk Nare / Bangsal, then boat to Trawangan.
- Hop from Gili Air or Gili Meno by local boat or private charter.
- We coordinate pickup times so you skip long Bangsal queues when travelling privately.
- Allow buffer for sea conditions — crossings can be delayed in rough weather.
