Gili Islands

The Gili Islands are a picturesque representation of paradise. They are surrounded by an azure sea, white beach, and palm trees, and they float in the middle of the water. They are also doing far better than those in any other part of Indonesia. New, hip hotels are springing up all over the place like mushrooms in the fall, and speedboats ferry tourists all the way from Bali.

The islands’ generally laid-back culture, the alternative spirit that Western partygoers brought with them, and a vibrant green sense are all being pulled in opposite directions by the draw of large visitor money. Even while nobody knows what the future holds, the Gilis have managed to preserve their laid-back allure for the time being (partly due to local efforts to exclude dogs and motorbikes from the islands).

The Gili Islands are situated very close to the equator, and as a result, the region’s year-round balmy weather is a major selling point for vacationers. The temperature ranges between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius throughout the year, and the relative humidity ranges between 85 and 90 percent. The temperatures of the water are always comfortable. The rainy season and the dry season are not clearly distinguished from one another, nor are they fully predictable. Even though it is technically “rainy season,” the Christmas and New Year holiday period is unquestionably the high and peak season in the Gili Islands.

Snorkeling and diving are two of the most common water sports enjoyed by visitors to the Gilis. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of exciting things to do while swimming underwater close to the islands. Even though you are currently on Gili Trawangan, there are a variety of locations where you can get scuba diving instruction. There are dives available for people who are just getting started, and snorkelling equipment is available to borrow on any street in the Gilis.

What do you think about having a barbeque after a day of surfing and fishing? Sounds like a nice concept, doesn’t it? There are a number of excellent spots for surfing around the islands. The vast majority of them may be found in the island’s south-east corner. There are two islands known as Gili Meno and Gili Air. Inquire with the locals about which activities are the most well-liked within the community. In addition to this, you may go on fishing trips, during which you will be instructed in how to fish, and then you can barbeque the fish that you catch. You might perhaps get the opportunity to spearfish as well.

On the island of Gili Trawangan, you may participate in this activity at either 7 o’clock or 5 o’clock in the afternoon. They have the most impressive model of open-air movie theatre that there is. If you want a peaceful night home and don’t feel like going out, this is a fantastic choice for you to consider. Even if it is a holiday, there are going to be a few evenings when you are going to feel so poorly that you won’t be able to go out and have fun. On one of those days, pick a flick to watch while relaxing on the main beach.

When visiting the Gili Islands, one of the most memorable experiences may be had by going to a beach bar, ordering a drink, and watching the sun go down while listening to excellent music that helps one unwind. There are several pubs on Gili Trawangan Island, but my favourite is the Sunset bar, which is located in the south-west corner of the island. Because it is so popular, this pub tends to become really packed, so you might want to get there a little bit early and get a seat. This way, you’ll be able to observe and appreciate the sunset whenever you choose. If you want the peace and seclusion that comes with being at the beach, all you have to do is wander about and you will discover a section of the sea that is devoid of people.

If you’re going to be on an island, you may as well enjoy yourself by going to some of the beach parties. Gili Trawangan is the island that offers the most opportunities to go out and have fun. You are welcome to visit Blue Marlin on Mondays. You have the option of going to Tir Na Nog on Wednesdays and Rudy’s on Fridays. If you enjoy going out and having a good time, you shouldn’t miss out on their events since they are incredible. Additionally, Indonesia is home to a number of well-known bands who are well-known for their excellent reggae music. In addition to this, a certain group of South Sea Nomads acquired a party boat. They offer a tour for $25 that circles the Gili Islands from midday till dusk, and yes, lunch and dinner are included in the price.

Are you familiar with the reoccurring dream scenario that takes place on a sandy beach and involves people riding horses? If you enjoy activities of that nature, you may consider going on a good ol’ fashioned horseback ride down the beach. This time spent together is a great opportunity for couples to become closer to one another. This service is offered at a number of locations, including Sunset Stables and Stud Horse Riding Adventures, among others.
