Gili Islands

Most travelers reach the Gilis via Lombok or Bali.

Via Lombok (fastest In-country Option)

• Fly to Lombok International Airport (LOP).
• Drive to Bangsal Harbor or Teluk Nara.
• Take a public boat or speedboat to your chosen island.

Via Bali (common International Gateway)

• Fly to Denpasar (DPS).
• Drive to a fast-boat harbor (often Padang Bai, Serangan, or Benoa depending on operator).
• Take a fast boat to Gili Trawangan and/or Gili Air (routes vary by company and sea conditions).

Timing Tip

If you are combining flights and boats on the same day, build buffer time. Wet-season storms and windier afternoons can delay crossings.

There are no cars or motorbikes on the Gili Islands. Getting around is by:

• Walking on sandy lanes
• Bicycle rental
• Cidomo (horse cart), useful for luggage and longer hops
