Gili Islands

Further afield, worth the journey

The Gili Islands offer a more remote and open experience, with quieter coastlines, clear water and a slower pace. From relaxed island stops to longer cruising routes, it’s a destination that feels a step removed from the busier parts of Bali.

Why go

  • Clear water and white sand beaches

  • A quieter, more remote feel

  • A mix of island stops and open water cruising

  • Ideal for a longer or more considered day

What to do

  • Swim and snorkel around the Gili Islands

  • Anchor off Gili Trawangan or quieter spots like Gili Asahan

  • Cruise between islands and take in the changing coastline

  • Spend time on the water with fewer crowds

  • Stop for lunch at Gili Meno or Gili Air

  • Extend the day with longer routes or multiple stops

How it fits into your day

Lombok and the Gili Islands are best suited to a full day or longer charter, allowing enough time to travel comfortably and enjoy multiple stops along the way. With more distance to cover, the experience is as much about the journey as it is the destination.

Often chosen for a more extended day on the water.
