Snorkel with Sea Turtles
Snorkeling is a must-do when visiting the Gili Islands. The crystal blue waters are filled with exotic marine life, including sea turtles, eels, stingrays, lionfish, and so much more.
Just a few meters off the main island beaches the sand cascades away to reveal coral heads, sponges, and a kaleidoscope of colour.

The first local people settled on Gili Trawangan over 200 years ago. Because of the plethora of fish and the freshwater present on the island, it made for a good home for the local ethnic communities. The people on the islands began to cultivate and grow crops while exchanging their products for goods from mainland Lombok.
When Bali began to grow as a tourist destination in the 20th century, the Gili Islands became an extension of many travel itineraries for the more culturally immersive experience offered there.
Gili Trawangan continued to develop for tourism as more and more travelers trickled in. Now, it is a popular travel destination for travelers of all kinds.
The Gili Islands are known for not having any cars or motorbikes. This is in part due to their small size.
All you need is your own two feet to get from one side of Gili Trawangan to the other. It won’t take you any more than 30 minutes - tops.
If you are a die-hard fan of wheels, you can always rent a bicycle and bike your way around the small tropical paradise and breathe in the fresh ocean air. In fact, we highly recommend you do this!
Most of the accommodation and other facilities are on the eastern side of the island, sheltered from the winds and rough seas of the Lombok Strait, which are prone to striking the western beach.
Fast boats and ferries also dock on the eastern side, with a new jetty having just been completed - meaning no more wet-footed landings!
A footpath circumnavigates the whole island, together with various intersecting tracks, most leading back to the coastal path. The tracks are all in above-average condition, with most visitors exploring the inner reaches by bicycle.

- There are over a dozen ATMs on the island, with most located on the Eastern side of the island close to the jetty. Most ATMs are run by Indonesian banks, but there are also two Australian Commonwealth Bank ATMs. The exchange rates offered on the island are generally poorer than on Bali or Lombok, but the fluctuations are generally minimal.
- There is a small medical clinic adjacent to Vila Ombak. They are quite used to treating travelers with minor ailments, including stomach upsets, but any visitor with a serious medical issue should make their way to Mataram hospital on Lombok.
- There are several internet cafes on Gili T for working or staying in touch, although connection speeds can often be slow.
- Printing is possible in a few internet cafés and you can even hook up your laptop if required.
