This island is for people who want a tropical island holiday. There are night spots, dozens of eateries without the duff duff music. Shops galore 4 24 hour medical clinics. Crystal clear water and lovely beaches.

Gili air is located between gili trawangan and gili meno but i prefer Gili Air because not too crowded like trawangan but not very quiet like gili meno.

With the benefit of hindsight I'm not so sure the trip was worth it. The 4 hour Scoot boat is horrific and loses a day.

Time passes slowly here, just enjoy the evening walks, the ocean view, the sunsets and especially the people! …

Our experience on Gili Air was mixed. Some good and bad experiences. But by far the worst thing on this island is the treatment of the beautiful horses.

If you go here it takes a matter of seconds before you observe distressed and abused ponies. The horses are not looked after and are submitted to constant abuse until the die. Do not contribute to this disgusting practice and culture. …
