We ended up staying on Gili Air for 3 days, one day longer than originally planned. Gili Air is an amazing island with great beaches, great food and great snorkeling. It's not action-packed, but a really great place to be a beach bum. I'm from Florida and am very critical of beaches, but Gili Air exceeded my expectations. We stayed... More

Gili Air. Good snorkelling from the beach: Turtles and colourful fishes. Great Lazy day. Took over a small Beruga on the beach somewhere south of Scalliwag and spent the day there, eating, snorkelling.Toilets to change. No fresh water. Hired snorkels from the place. Very quick service, Waiter very alert. More

We had a great few days staying on the quiet north stretch of Gili Trewangan away from the hustle of the main strip. The island is reaching tipping point and there has been quite a lot of development even on the previously untouched western coast so there's not much left which is completely unspoilt. My main reservation is that at... More

Enjoy before it is too late...with the problem that... More
