SHOULD YOU VISIT GILI TRAWANGAN?🇮🇩

Gili Trawangan has been my favourite place in Indonesia so far. Almost every day here, we’ve had the absolute pleasure of swimming with the turtles. It still blows our mind that the turtles are almost always there and you can just rock up on the beach to have some of the best experiences of your life - for free! The island is so small (we bicycled around the entire coast in an hour!) and there are no motor vehicles at all on the island. Instead, people opt for bicycles & (unfortunately) horses. This really heightens the feeling of ‘the island life’🌴 From Gili T, you can do snorkelling trips and trips to the neighbouring islands of Gili Air & Gili Meno. And, although we have heard very bad things about the ferries to Gili T, our ferry (we went with Eka Jaya) was less than an hour & super smooth! So worth the trip from Bali. #gilitrawangan #gilit #indonesia #travelguide #turtles #snorkelling #swimmingwithturtles #balitravel #backpacking #travel #travellers #travelcouple #travelfoodie #wanderlust #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelgram #travelfoodie#mountainview

Wonderful Gili Trawangan

Gili Trawangan is the most popular of the famous Gili Islands in the north of Lombok. Known also as Gili T, there are just so many things to do on this incredible Indonesian island such as snorkeling in the crystal blue water, tourist also can see beautiful coral, fishes and turtles. beside of that, tourist can enjoy beautiful sunset Infront of beach. On a clear day, toutis can watch the sun slowly creep behind Mount Agung.#gilitrawangan

Gili Trawangan

We stayed on Gili T for 3 nights in total and we were so happy we went! A note if your hotel is not on the east side of the island by the dock you will most likely need to get a horse and carriage with your luggage to your accommodation because that is the only transportation on the island other than bicycles. Our accommodation was on the west side of the island so we therefore had to get a horse and carriage which cost about 150,000 rupiah. Once we got to our accommodation we hired bikes to get around the island which is very easy as it’s very flat. One of the days we went snorkelling and we swam with turtles. There are so many turtle points around the island, the best way to find them is either ask one of the locals at each point or see how many people are in the sea snorkelling as that will indicate if there are any turtles there. We saw around 5/6 turtles this day. There is a bit of party on the island however we didn’t go out in the night, we did however make it to Mad Monkey Friday foam party for a few drinks which turned out to be super fun. They usually have a few patty’s on during the week. Overall loved the island, we didn’t go to any other islands as we were happy to stay on Gili T, but I know you can do snorkelling tours around the other islands and some people do stay a night on some other islands but all in all Gili T is stunning and great for snorkelling and a snippet of paradise. #beachlife #gili #gilit #gilitrawangan #snorkelling #bali #mytripvlog #tripblazers #summervacation #passionpassport

GILI ISLAND🌴

Floating in a turquoise sea and fringed by white sand and coconut palms, the Gilis are a vision of paradise. And they're booming like nowhere else in Indonesia – speedboats zip visitors directly from Bali and hip new hotels are rising like autumnal mushrooms. The lure of big tourist dollars tugs against the traditionally laid-back culture of the islands, the alternative spirit imported by Western partygoers and a buoyant green sensibility. While the outcome is uncertain, for now the Gilis retain their languorous charm (partly due to local efforts to exclude dogs and motorbikes from the islands). #triplocal #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Gili Island

Gili Island, kost beatiful island ever ! i can't believe here so amazing place good for vacation with your family or someone you love i recommended to here #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

Always on the go for adventures

The Gili Islands (or simply the Gilis), Lombok's most popular tourist destination, sprang to prominence as a backpacker haven in the 1980s and 1990s. To some extent, this is still true, and the islands are still a part of the Banana Pancake Trail. However, circumstances have changed, and there are now a variety of glitzy options on the islands, particularly on Gili Trawangan. The islands are relatively laid-back, with a plethora of small coastal cafes, restaurants, and taverns serving a wide range of local and international cuisine. The best part is that there are no automobiles or motorcycles to disrupt the tranquility. The Gilis are a vision of beauty, floating in a turquoise sea and surrounded by white sand and coconut palms. #summervacationtravel#seafoodfeast#naturalwonders#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

The most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life are here. Welcome to Gili Trawangan! #indonesia #bali #gili #paradise #beach #travelgoals

Gili Air, in my opinion, is relatively quiet compared to Gili Trawangan. Similar to other Lombok beaches, Gili Air also has clear water and soft sand. On Gili Air we can also snorkel to see the beautiful fish and coral reefs #summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay

I stopped by Gili Air in the middle of the Boat Tour 3 Gili Islands. The beach is very beautiful and amazing, the water is green and clear. The sand is white and fine. The restaurant around Gili Air Beach is delicious and has a comfortable atmosphere. #summervacation#beachvacation#hotelstay

Gili air vibes

Stunning sunsets, incredible peace and quiet, turquoise water, marine turtles and nemos at your fingertips, chilled beach bars The lack of motor vehicles on the islands contributes to their extreme tranquility. You can only get around on foot, on bike, or in the so-called Cidomos, which are horse-drawn carriages that’s how you commute here. Gili Air was ideal for my needs. I wanted to relax, go snorkeling, lounge on the beach, and hang out in beach bars. Gili Air is the ideal location for this. I did meet a few other backpackers, but I wasn't in the mood to party too much. #nationalpark#beautifulsunsets#bestislandtraveltowns#seafoodfeast#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

The Gili’s mode of transport

The most enchanting part of the Gili’s is the horse drawn carts, riding and bicycles that are the only mode of transport around the islands. #familytrip #naturelover #giliair

Gilli Trawangan 🇮🇩 Bali

Gilli Trawangan or Gilli T is one of three gili islands just off the coast by Lombok, but they are also accessible from Bali, which is where we took the boat from. One morning I wandered off down to the port at Pandangbai and started chatting to some locals in a cafe/bar. They recommended that I head to Gilli T and helped me get a ticket for the ferry. It was significantly cheaper buying it at the port than online. I had a few hours until the boat departed so packed a few essentials and booked an unbelievable hotel for a very affordable rate. (Aston Sunset) We set off from the port in Padangbai on the ferry and had a few beers on the deck as the boat took around 2 hours. Once we arrived on the island, into the main bar area and port, we jumped off and headed through the middle of the island on foot passing by the locals houses (you could also walk around the beach path), but there are no cars, only bikes and horses. The hotel was perfect for relaxing in as it had a beachfront restaurant, secluded pool, friendly and helpful reception and lots of local seafood restaurants nearby. Food!!! For those that like seafood this is paradise, huge prawns, fresh fish and simple salads were what they were catching and selling in the restaurants. the tables and beenbags were placed along the waterfront so you could watch the pink sunsets. Ok I saved the best for last. On Gili Trawangan you can head out to see sea turtles, there are boat tours that will drop you off above the turtles for an easy find or you can rent the gear and swing out from the beach. I'd recommend only swimming out like this if you are a strong swimmers as it took me almost an hour swimming against the tide to get back in. This is a spot I will return too!!! Seafood 🦞 sunsets 🌅 Turtles🐢

A sunset with sand in your toes and a DJ

Pink Coco Address - Lombok Utara, Jl. Pantai Gili Trawangan, Gili Indah, Kec. Pemenang, Kabupaten Lombok Utara, Nusa Tenggara Bar. 83352 Ambiance/Facilities - If you are in Gili Trawangan for the weekend then I recommend Pink Coco for you sunset view. Every Friday to Sunday they will have a live DJ and a fire dance. Let me just explain the vibe. I would suggest to come early to get a nice seat because this place get packed and for a good reason. I arrived at 5:30 which was the prefect time. I got some nice snacks and cocktails and enjoyed the beautiful sunset across the sea. While watching the sun go down I enjoyed some really good music from the DJ. the music was a mix of Deep House and EDM. As soon as the sun sets then the fire dance started. A prefect way to round of your sunset. The one down side is that when it gets busy the drinks will take longer to arrived. Highlights - The seats, on the beach with the sunset and the good music. Avg. Price per Person - The place is a bit pricy. For a few snack and drinks I would say between 450 00 and 550 000 Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #mytripvlog #tripblazers #beachlife #sunset #bali #gili #lianvyver #island
