Picture three minuscule islands, fringed by white-sand beaches and coconut palms, sitting in a turquoise sea. These islets have exploded in popularity, and are booming like nowhere else in Indonesia. It’s not hard to understand the Gilis’ unique appeal, for a serenity endures (no motorbikes or dogs!) and a green consciousness is growing. Each island has its own special character. Trawangan is by far the most cosmopolitan: its bar and party scene vibrant, its accommodation and restaurants close to tropical chic. Gili Air has the strongest local character, the best beaches, and lovely views of Rinjani, Lombok’s volcano. Meno is simply tranquillity. But all have 1 thing in common; they are incredibly hard to leave. During this tour you will visit all 3 of the famous ‘Gili’s’ near Lombok.
