One of many beautiful island in Indonesia…must try snorkling and diving, and see the wonders of the underwater…u can see turtle and manta ray! Watchout for jellyfish though, it's tiny and stings bad

Ricardo de Rijcke

Best sunset ever!! Very Nice island . A bit touristic . Gili Air and Gili Meno are less touristic and more romatic. You should definately do the snorkling 3 island trip for 100k IDR a person.

Charlie Rouston

Trawangan is a nice place for party with good and bad sides. The main street is full of expensive places. Enter the village to find little warung (not at the so called "art market ")

Chriszy Karunungan

Must do: Diving with Blue Marlin , Snorkling , Ride a bike , Visit the sunset part of the island , eat at night seafood market ! ????????✈️

This place is great if locals have its own identity instead of looks a like foreign tourist to approach 'em. I heard this land is famous with 'island with thousand mosque ' but totally cannot see it ????

Snorkel @ 3 Gili Islands is IDR100k/pax fr 10.30am-3.30pm. Start @ beach near the mosque . 3 spots (30 mins each), lunch on Gili Air (own cost), choose 2-mask/flipper/lifejacket. Turtles and fish .

Monalisa

Try local food at art market . Recommended is red snapper fish , the giant one (for 3 people) cost 90k n free rice n plecing. Also the martabak Pak Rahmat (he is from Malang) the best in the island :)

Puneet V

Pure paradise. Only bikes and horses. Incredible place. Snorkelling just off the coast is a must, or off Gili Meno for some turtle action. Food is great most places. Stay for longer than intended.

Helén Liljedahl

You will find the best pizza on GiliT at Easy Cafe . Make sure to get around the island at least once, beautiful and takes only 2h by foot.

Rob Koper

Great place for a party. 2 to 4 days max! You can cycle around the island in 90 minutes and maybe walk around it in 4 hours. Don't miss the sunrise and sunset !

Andriy

The island is building up very quickly,have a feeling won't recognize the island in a couple of years.Nevertheless,it's good island with close connection to Bali, nice dive spots and varied nightlife.

Devian

Beautiful island , a must if you go to Bali, great for snorkeling , kayaking , great places to eat and stay, and really cheap

Kevser Ozdemir

I would spend only two days here and then book a place in Gili Meno to enjoy the water and quiet beaches . Yin house is affordable , stylish and on the beach

Ratna Dita Indira

To reach the island u get ride a boat (19 person). When got there, u can use bicycle to surround the beach . Many cafe&resto, food is good and fresh. U can rent boat, diving equipments etc.

Megan Masters

Gili is tons of fun! Fresh seafood , great diving, beautiful beaches , cheap accommodations and fun nightlife. How come it's so far from home?

Azuar A Razak

You may experience power outage mostly in evening till night; some may happen short & some may lasting long in some part of the island . Oversupply happen when nightlife begin perhaps..

Edward Chin

Diving with Blue Marlin Dive, try local food at Kiki Novi in the market , cycle round the island and in time for sunset at sunset point.

Vicky Laurentina

Apply sunscreen before you go sunbathing on the sand. You can also look at the pretty corals by renting snorkling equipments only by IDR 25000. Make sure to see turtle conservatorium on the front of B

Ladys Yona

Hansaplas harga 2rb. Wakakaka everything going expensive . Come in low seasson u will get half price for the hotel . Try to walk arround the island u need 3hours to do that!

Cinnamon Roll

Great snorkelibg.. If you like to party and hang out w/people this one is the right island . Otherwise go to gli mena or gli air..

fruitvlieg

Paradise. Much much better than touristic Bali, although the island has changed a lot during the last 5 years

Abby Kazan

The party island of the three. Music , restaurants and diving galore. Day trips available to the quieter islands also.

Pol T

Gili Trawangan is a beautiful place but if i had known the disgusting boat -semayan company-we had to take and being like sardelle inside i would have never gone through with it. Too hippish for me

Erwin V

Go and rent a bike . Stop on the sunset side to take a fresh coconut and enjoy the view of the beautiful blue see.

Andriy

Looking for Diving Courses or Fun Dive? Try Blue Marling Dive, the oldest company here, nice price, great stuff and instructors from Europe. Nitrox available ;-)

Geri

Another archipelago in Lombok Area, good for snorkling or diving. Very nice spot for sunrise & sunset (find by yourself). Fresh seafood in Pasar Seni (Traditional Market ). Here is my sunrise :)

Andriy

Hotels & bungalow in the center of island --- the best value for money . 200-250.000 rupiahs per day with air conditioning and large room

M

Best island I have visited in Indonesia. I had my first diving experience in this lovely island .

Tri Sutrisno

Beautifull island , try to jogging or cycling on the morning, it has a great fresh air .

Nina V.

Gili Trawangan is not the Maldives or Fiji kind of beauty you would expect. There's a lot of garbage on the beach . A nice place but no must-see.

Abim 83

Now, it is too commercial.. Thanks to you 'bule', we locals should bargain the prices harder..

@DaffaRizkyy_

Gili Trawangan cool, well done there wo what else would fit the evening, the sunset fitting hmm,,,, a rare sight for me. use bicycle roads in Gili Trawangan, huuufffzz, awful ..

Robena

If you are looking for desert island feeling take west side! but supposed it can be quiet and very dark at night. Enjoy your stay.

Navela Mulia

AManda HUang

Perfect place to unwind,relax and distress especially if you live in the city

Luca Pisati

Beautiful island . Beautiful sea. Lots of hotels and bungalows from cheap to expensive . But do not expect any good restaurant on the island !

felicia

Green cafe local food, sama-sama reggae bar and scallywags seafood yg paling happening disini.

Andriy

The best place for snorkeling - the beach in front of Gracia Villa (north part of the island )

Jana Eugenia

The corals, anemones and fishes are colorful. You have to snorkel here and see them yourself. Watch out for the boat people, sometimes they will cheat and try to make you pay more money for boat trip.

Olivia Lim

Careful for the coral reefs ! Rent a bike , see the whole island ! And remember, diving!!

Al Berto
