In between Bali and Lombok, 3 idyllic islands can be found: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. These little coral islands have a real laid-back tropical island feel and make perfectly placed hideouts from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. With no traffic and nothing but fresh ocean breeze, this 3-day 2-night tour takes you to see two of these islands for an excursion full of relaxation, and special moments to remember for a lifetime. Your first day starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Bali, which will take you to the harbor to a speedboat that will arrive at Gili Trawangan in just a few hours’ time. On the way, catch breathtaking views of Mount Agung and the deep blue sea. Once on the island, spend the day relaxing at a beautiful tropical island resort – lounge by the pool, dive in the sea or hop on a bicycle to explore the coastline. Don’t miss the sunset at one of the beach clubs – it’s a true spectacle of nature you don’t want to miss out on! Your second day features a private snorkeling tour on Gili Trawangan’s quieter but equally beautiful sister island, Gili Air. The 3-hour snorkeling tour takes you to see several amazing spots, beautiful coral reefs and colorful marine life. You’ll also get to swim with giant sea turtles, a magical experience! Spend the rest of the day as you like at another tropical resort – sipping cocktails, swimming, sunbathing – before another magnificent island sunset kicks in. If you’re an early bird, start day 3 early to catch the awe-inspiring sunrise of Gili Air. Otherwise, snoozing in bed to the sound of the sea is a lovely way to spend the first hours of your last morning on the Gili Islands. Enjoy one more swim in the turquoise sea, sit down for breakfast and say goodbye to these gorgeous islands.

What people are saying about West Nusa Tenggara

Great half day snorkelling trip. Friendly and safe crew - currents around the Gilis are strong so was good to see a guide in the water and the boat never far away. Only criticism was that they didn’t actually tell you what each stop was and what you were looking for - so at Meno we didn’t realise we were seeing the underwater statues until we were on top of them

We had an awesome tour with our guide Inggah. We startet with catching fresh lobster for our lunch and went to the first snorkelling spot. The spot was quiet and very nice. At the beaches we had lunch and met Rido as well, who is a great guide as well. There was a little surprise but the view was stunning. Highly recommended this tour!

Rido Romance is the coolest guide you’re gonna get in Lombok. Having more than a decade of experience in Lombok’s tour guide industry, he sure knows all the spots to make your trip a dream. As a bonus, he has a beautiful voice to make long travel times much more entertaining. Highly recommended!

This was excellent - truly magical day! Note it’s a 2-3hr drive each way but the experience is 100x worth it!

Fantastic day trip with great snorkelling and transportation! Very helpful guide as well! Thank you!
