Gili Trawangan

beautiful island ❤️ I was there for one day tour. I tried snorkeling for the first time in my life. I was super happy that I made it. there's no words that can describe how beautiful the sea is. I love to see all the animals under the calm water. I will definitely be back soon🏝️

My experience on Gili Trawangan, spanning four days, proved to be highly informative. The island's offerings, including bicycle exploration, local cuisine sampling, and snorkeling excursions, were exceptional. The scenic beauty of the locations was particularly striking.

We absolutely loved our time on Gili T. So many fab restaurants and bars. The main area is the port area. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Then as you go around the island it becomes more chilled. East side is obvs sunrise, and west sunset. We saw turtles on the top left corner of the island and saw some beautiful sunsets from our hotel (Kardia). If you are saying away from the pier area you will need to go on a horse and cart with your luggage. The horses seem to be in good condition, well fed etc. However we didn't like the odd whipping. All the dive places are on the south and east side of the island. Highly recommend! If you have any questions let me know.. I've added a few photos from our time there.

Beautiful island with light blue water—an amazing spot for snorkeling and diving. There are no cars or motorcycles on the island, so you either walk, rent a bicycle, or take a horse-drawn carriage, which really adds to the island's charm.

One of the best, Marvellous This whole Island have a periphery of 7 Kms, Having this on my Strava is a Flex 💪 Pro Tip - Spend more than 1 Night for relaxed stay here.

Beautiful Island with Breathtaking Waters – But Know What to Expect Gili Trawangan is undeniably beautiful — crystal-clear waters, white sand, and stunning sunsets. It’s a fun island with a great energy, but it’s very geared toward tourism, which takes away a bit of its original charm. There’s a big backpacker and party crowd, mostly younger travelers, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying it as a family. It’s still very family-friendly if you stay in the quieter areas away from the port. We highly recommend booking a private boat for a smoother and more comfortable arrival. Once there, rent bikes and cycle around the island — it’s a lovely way to explore. Also, make sure to visit the nearby Gili islands for a day trip — they’re perfect for beach clubs, snorkeling, and a more laid-back vibe. Gili T is what you make of it — full of life, beauty, and adventure if you plan it right!

Would highly recommend if you’re looking for an island with some nightlife! Lots of live music on the main road and great atmosphere all around. The only issue I have with the island is the unethical treatment of the horses here. I would not advise you use them as transport unless you absolutely must, lots of them are severely overworked and dehydrated.

Beautiful island with scenic beaches and hotels. I loved it there. The only thing that really bothered me was the way poor working horses are treated - pulling wagons all day in the heat, with no water and food. Left standing at the sun. It's heartbreaking and animal cruelty. Local government must ban it and take care of the poor horses! It's 2025, there is no excuse to use horses!
