Activities and Things to Do in Gili Trawangan

gili trawangan

Gili Trawangan is a very famous small island, which located in northwest of Lombok. This gili is the biggest gili from the other two gili near them. This island surrounds with with sand and a Cristal beach. Most traveler said you are never visiting Lombok unless you visiting gili trawangan. This Trawangan has a reputation as a party island, a Shangri La for backpackers and hedonistic Indonesians, awash with budget-priced digs and dive center. Shoestring raves do still flood here, but the island’s increasingly up market facilities – a mushrooming luxe-fest of lounge bars, sushi restaurants and boutique hotels – has meant that Jakartan hipsters and weekending Singaporeans are almost as common as rupiah light gap-year students. It’s the one corner of Lombok where tourism is really vibrant, and while there are still plenty of tranquil corners, the island’s main strip buzzes every night until the early hours. Unfortunately, environmental management has yet to catch up with the pace of development, and discarded garbage blots the landscape, particularly in the village just inland from the beach. Diving is so critical to the local economy that the island’s fishermen are paid by the scuba schools not to fish on Trawangan’s reefs, a pioneering initiative that has resulted in greatly increased diversity, with turtles and top predators such as reef sharks frequently spotted here. Culturally, this moratorium is not without its difficulties however, as the islanders are descended from Bogies fishermen who arrived in Trawangan 55 years ago.

Hotels, Activities and Things To Do in Gili Meno lombok

The next gili is gili meno. This island is little bit deferent with the other two gili, because this gili have a bird park, so you can do something else other than swimming or snorkeling. This is a brief review that I can explain about this gili. Gili Meno is the quietest of the three islands, and has the best beaches. With a permanent population of just 300, it’s not hard to play Robinson Crusoe along Meno’s isolated shores should you so desire. Most of the accommodation is strung out along the eastern coast, near the widest and most picturesque beach. Inland you’ll find scattered homesteads, coconut plantations and a shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season. Information There is a couple of minimarkets by the boat landing, so you will be able to locate most basic supplies. Internet access and calling center are available near the boat landing. If you need some cash, you can exchange the money at the Gazebo Meno and Kontiki Meno hotels, as well as at others, even I don’t recommend it because they have very poor rates. For tours and boat tickets, we can find it on the travel agent like Perama travel is based at Kontiki Meno bungalows. If medical needed we can find it in the medical center near the bird park is attended by a resident nurse. Doctors are also on call in Mataram.

Hotels, Activities and Things to Do in Gili Air’s Lombok

This is little information that might important during visiting gili air’s. Some of this information may be slightly different with the reality on the gili itself, but overall I’m sure it’s still the same. The closest to the mainland is Gili Air’s easy-going appeal contrasts with party-boy Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno. The island retains a distinctly rural character, its coconut grove–filled, flat landscape juxtaposed with dramatic views of Gunung Rinjani and, on a clear day, Gunung Agung in Bali. The slim white-sand beaches, turquoise water and laid-back atmosphere are the main draw, but in high season the bar scene can get quite lively. Gili Air is the most heavily populated of the three islands, yet this still amounts to just 1800 or so inhabitants.

Best Place to Surf in Bali Part II

                                                                                          Nusa Lembongan

nusa lembongan

In the Nusa Penida group, this island is separated from the southeast coast of Bali by the Badung Strait. The strait is very deep and generates huge swells that break over the reefs off the northwest coast of Lembongan. Shipwreck, clearly visible from the beach, is the most popular break, a longish right that gets a good barrel at mid tide with a 5ft swell. A bit to the south, Lacerations is a very fast, hollow right breaking over a very shallow reef – hence the name. Still further south is a smaller, more user friendly left-hander called Playground. Remember that Lembongan is best with an easterly wind, as are Kuta and Ulu Watu, so it’s dry-season surfing.

Best Place to Surf in Bali Part I

Bali is the heaven for the surfer around the world with only two seasons and beautiful beach around the cost, make people always interest to come in all years. There is a lot of international surfing championship is held by ripcurl, around 3 times in a year. No wonder there is also a lot of local surfer becomes professional surfer. Swells come from the Indian Ocean, so the surf is on the southern side of the island and, strangely, on the northwest coast of Nusa Lembongan, where the swell funnels into the strait between there and the Bali coast. In the dry season around April to September, the west coast has the best breaks, with the trade winds coming in from the southeast; this is also when Nusa Lembongan works best. In the wet season, surf the eastern side of the island, from Nusa Dua around to Padangbai. If there’s a north wind – or no wind at all – there are also a couple of breaks on the south coast of Bukit Peninsula.

Overview Gili Islands in Lombok

gili meno

gili trawangan

Just off the northwest coast of Lombok is a vision of tropical paradise – a trio of tiny coral-fringed islands, each with white sandy beaches and pellucid water teeming with a kaleidoscopic array of reef fish. For years the islands of Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan were a budget-priced stopover for travellers on the Asian trail, but recently, accommodation options have diversified and now there are luxury villas and rustic chic bungalows dotted between the simple bambooand- thatch huts for rent. Delightfully free of cars and motorcycles, the only traffic on the Gilis is the tinkling cidomo (pony cart) and the odd bicycle. All three islands have professional scuba diving centres, and the snorkelling is excellent too. Each Gili has its own character and charm: Trawangan has a big party scene and Meno is very mellow, with Gili Air falling somewhere between the two in terms of atmosphere.
