A Day In Gili Trawangan

Originally posted on November 27, 2013

I had a holiday in Lombok, I visited Gili Trawangan.

Gili Trawangan is a small island (Gili means small island) that has a breathtaking beaches and sceneries. I was there for only a day but there are so many fun things we did. I stayed in Mataram (Lombok's capital city) and we have to use public boat to cross to Gili Trawangan.

And when we arrived at Gili Trawangan, we rent a Cidomo (small horse carriage) to see the whole island. Because there are no motorcycles, cars, or even dogs. People usually use bike to go everywhere (We can rent a bike!). When we went around the Gili with Cidomo, there are a lot of super beautiful views. Beaches, resorts, everything is beautiful. You should see all photos below.

What To See

Beaches + Corals + Shipwreck

There are a lot of beautiful beaches, and corals if you like snorkling/diving. Plus, there is a Titanic look alike shipwreck, which is the most visited object for divers. If you want to be a diver, there are some diving schools here.

Gili Meno + Gili Air

Rent a boat and you can discover other Gilis! Gili Trawangan is the biggest from three Gili Islands, beside Gili Meno and Gili Air. I visited Gili Air for lunch and it was beautiful too.

Where To Stay

There are a lot of beautiful resorts here you can choose. Minimum price for a night is 1500k IDR (150 USD per night, if 1 USD = 10k IDR). It's a little pricey but it is worth it.
