THE GREATEST ISLAND GILI TRAWANGAN ON NORTH LOMBOK

 An a tiny island fully with white sandy beach and crystal water 

no pollution and no motorbikes

GILI TRAWANGAN HISTORY 

While the Gilis have served as landfall for fishermen and a base for Japanese military, permanent settlement only began in the 1970s, initiated by Bugis fishermen from Sulawesi. Gili T was then discovered by travelers in the 1980s, seduced by the white-sand beaches and coral reefs. By the late 1990s it had mutated into a kind of tropical Ibiza, a stony idyll where you could rave away from the eyes of the Indonesian police. And then the island began to grow up – resident Western hedonists morphed into entrepreneurs, diving rivalled partying in the economy, and outside money poured in to build resorts.

Gili Trawangan is a tropical playground of global renown, ranking alongside Bali and Borobudur as one of Indonesia's top destinations. Trawangan's heaving main drag, busy with bikes, cidomos and mobs of scantily clad visitors, can surprise those expecting a languid island retreat. Instead, a bustling string of lounge bars, hip guesthouses, ambitious restaurants, convenience stores and dive schools clamours for attention.

 

And yet behind this glitzy facade, a bohemian character endures, with rickety warungs (cheap eating houses) and reggae joints surviving between the cocktail tables, and quiet retreats dotting the much-less-busy north coast. Even as massive 200-plus-room hotels begin to colonise the gentrifying west coast, you can head just inland to a village laced with sandy lanes roamed by free-range roosters, fussing ibu (mothers) and wild-haired kids playing hopscotch. Here the call of the muezzin, not happy hour, defines the time of day.

BEACH IN GILI TRAWANGAN

Where are the best beaches on Gili Trawangan?

1. The port / main village

Arriving on Gili Trawangan you’ll immediately be greeted beautiful blue water and a white sand beach. It can get a little hectic in this area but the beach is surprisingly clean for such a busy place. There are heaps of boats coming and going through, so it’s probably not the best place to swim. There are lots of places to eat, drink and sleep in this area but I can imagine it being really loud at night. Gili T is famous for its night life so you’ll want to stay further away from the main drag if you’re after a proper sleep.

2. Surf Point (South East)

Heading clockwise around the island, our next stop was Surf Point, a stretch of stunning white sand with wavy water lapping at the shore. This beach is clean and ticks all the paradise island boxes. There is plenty of shade thanks to the abundance of trees and the beach is nice and clean.

3. Slightly further Around from Surfers Beach (South East)

The beaches on Gili Trawangan don’t really have names, so I’ll do my best to tell you where the best ones are. The section just past Surf Point is, in my opinion, Gili Trawangan’s best beach. The sand is clean, soft and white (with a few bits of coral, as all the Gili Islands beaches have) and the water is that brilliant shade of blue that only the very best island destinations boast.

4. The sunset side (west)

The beach gets a little rougher as you make your way round to the sunset side of the island. The beaches are still nice but they can’t compare to the one I just mentioned.

You’ll still want to spend some time on this side though, as watching the sunset while sitting at a beach side restaurant or bar is a quintessential Gili T experience. There are so many to choose from — we went to a couple close to our hotel (and the hotel’s own restaurant) and the view was great (although the food at the places we ate could have been better). 

TRAWANGAN ACTIVITY

Everybody thinks Gili Trawangan is small Island where did not much activity you can do there, the island is 300 hectare Square which has been established buy more than 350 Hotel everything is Can be the something more important to do to spend the whole time for vacation.

 

Traveling to try to improve their facility infrastructure activity and the other thing can support to inform the Trawangan quality in activities which able to decrease unsatisfactory,

Here We and close the Trawangan best activity during your holiday :

1. Snorkeling

 

Snorkeling is one of the simple underwater activity they just need the basic of a swimming skill you can just stay on the top of surface of the water then you can see the whole thing under the water by the masker what about the other things you my visit on the whole island you can hire glass bottom boat to visit another sport in the Gili trawangan Island

 

Snorkeling is the best activity in Gili Trawangan, everything we talked about snorkeling we'll change our mind to the underwater activity like fish, Coral and out of a great underwater view which very nice to show, snorkeling has more than 4 greatest sport to visit in Gili trawangan however all the sport have different in every time you visit.

 GILI TRAWANGAN TRANSPORT IN

1. Cidomo

We cannot recommend using cidomo (horse-drawn carts) due to the significant concerns about the treatment of the horses.

2. Walking & Cycling

The Gilis are flat and easy enough to get around by foot. Bicycles, available for hire on all three islands (40,000Rp to 60,000Rp per day), can be a fun way to get around, but sandy stretches of path mean that you will spend time pushing your bike in the hot sun.

 

 

HOW TO GO TO GILI TRAWANGAN FROM BALI

GETTING TO THE GILIS is simple. We’ve put together some time saving tips on how to get there by Fast boat from Bali via Padang Bai and Amed. You get a range of options, from the super slow public ferries to stylish private charters for the deep pocketed voyager. Failing that, the Gilis are just a short helicopter ride away, and the views on show are well worth including on your trip.

If you’re already planning to spend a night or two on the mainland before crossing over to the paradise islands, then you can get away with booking a spot on the fast boat the day before. But don’t leave it till the morning of the trip, the fast boats fill up fast – especially in high season.

Most travellers get their Gili fast boat tickets from travel agents in Kuta before transferring through Padang Bai. However, we highly recommend getting the fast boat to the Gilis from Amed, a beautiful fishing town on the east coast of Bali with unbelievable snorkelling, breathtaking views of Mount Agung and the most charming village vibe.

If this is a short weekend trip to the Gilis however, you’ll want to get there as fast as possible. In that case, your best bet is to get the Fast boat from Lombok. It’s also a good idea to get to the Gilis from Lombok instead of Bali in January and February, when the seas can get rather choppy.
Lastly, the most important tip for getting to the Gili islands on the fast boats is never get on an overloaded boat. It’s rare that it happens these days, but just in case you find yourself herded into a dangerously overcrowded fast boat, get off and ask for a refund.
Can’t wait to get to the paradise islands? Here are 5 ways to get to the Gili islands from Bali.

Fast boat from Amed

Crossing the Lombok Straight from Amed takes only 45-minutes, instead of 1.5 hours from Padang Bai and costs IDR250,000 each way. Not many travellers know about Amed because travel agents in Kuta don’t actively promote this hauntingly beautiful port. If you have the time, take the three hour drive to Amed from Denpasar, you’ll be so glad you did.
Pacha Express departs twice a day (9am and 4pm), stopping at all three islands.

Private sailing charter

Not the most practical way to get to the Gilis, but certainly a stylish way to travel the high seas, and discover 23 more Gilis when you charter a day trip on a fabulous sailing boat. Bali Yacht Services has a sizeable fleet, with a number of boats to choose from. Skim the Lombok Strait on a fabulous speed boat, a cruisy catamaran or a luxurious yacht? We can’t decide either.

Public ferry

The public ferry from Padang Bai to Lombok departs every hour on the hour, but it’s painfully slow. The upside of the 5-hour crossing: it only costs a measly IDR40,000 per person. Perfect for the traveller who has more time than money.

Then it’s another slow public ferry from Lombok to the Gilis and waiting in between, so the total trip will take over 8 hours. If it’s worth the hassle to you, then go for it.

Private air charters to the Gili islands

Getting to the Gili islands in a private helicopter charter isn’t just a way to arrive in style, it also gives you a chance to see Bali and the Gilis from above and snap a few award winning aerial photos of the islands.
Air Bali operates private helicopter charters between Bali and Gili Trawangan, which they’ve aptly named the Gilicopter – which flies on Fridays and Sundays only. The 45-minute flight takes up to 5 people depending on weight. Find out more about Air Bali’s helicopter charters to Gili Trawangan.

Fast boat from Padang Bai

A handful of fast boat operators depart from Padang Bai to the Gili islands in the mornings between 9am and 930am. Most people spend the night in Kuta and take the shuttle bus to Padang Bai in the morning. A much nicer way to do it is to spend the night in Padang Bai instead and bypass the madness and sleaze of Kuta.

HOW TO GO TO GILI TRAWANGAN FROM LOMBOK

1. Public Boat to Gili Trawangan

Budget conscious travelers may chose to take the “slow boat” from Bali to Lombok and then on to Gili Trawangan. This journey includes a shuttle pick up from your homestay in Bali and ride to Padangbai, one of two main harbors in Bali. From Padangbai you board the public ferry (thing big, slow and a little creaky) which will take to to Lombok in 4-6 hours.

You arrive in Lembar, a harbor town on Lombok and from there take a taxi or bemo (local minibus service) to Bangsal. From Bangsal you take a small public boat to Gili Trawangan- this journey takes 30 minutes to an hour. The total journey time can be from eight to ten hours, so take a good book!

There are many tour operators in Bali and Lombok which will offer one price for the entire trip. It will save you time and money to buy one ticket for the whole journey rather than at each section of the trip. For the adventurous this is more of an experience but you won’t save a lot of money by taking the slow boat. If you value your time over money then opt for a fast boat.
