Gili Air, Indonesia
One of the Gili Islands located just off the coast of Lombok, Gili Air is a popular tourist destination. So, what to see and how to get from bali to gili air? Check this out!
One of the Gili Islands located just off the coast of Lombok. With the white beach, turquoise sea, and an abundance of aquatic life, this little island is an excellent addition to your Bali Route.
When it comes to lifestyle, Gili Air is more laid-back. Gili Trawangan is perfect for those who want a good night’s entertainment every evening. Therefore, choose Gili Air if you’re looking for a perfect mixture of peace and exotic place. Gili Air is actually the second biggest island in the Gili Islands and closest to the mainland of Lombok. This island has a bigger and more permanent population than Gili Trawangan, but it is much quieter and has fewer party scenes.
The Gili Islands are different since there are no automobiles on the island. Because it is so tiny, you can go around the whole island on a bicycle in about 30 minutes.
Bikes, electric bikes, and horses are the primary modes of public transportation. In addition, it is not advisable to ride a horse since it is well recognized that the animals are not adequately cared for.
For the finest weather and the least amount of crowds, September to November are the ideal months to visit the Gili Islands.
But, visiting during the rainy season (November to April) is not recommended. However, you can still visit since it does not rain very much.
Furthermore, the peak season in Gili Air happens in July-August and December through January.
After arriving in Bali, you can visit Gili Air by boarding a Speed Boat. Boats depart from Padang Bai and Serangan depending on the boat company you choose.
A round-trip ticket to Bali is expected to be between 400,000 and 900,000 IDR (28 – 63 USD). Moreover, the firm determines the cost, the level of luxury, and the time of year.
The swift boat takes 2.5 hours to get to Gili Air from the mainland. The port in the southern portion of Gili Air serves as the drop-off point (see map).
We propose spending a little extra on quality and sailing with Gili Voyages to get the most value for your money.
However, you do not need to make a reservation for a return date with your Gili boat operator. Yet, return from Gili Air should be confirmed one day in advance by calling their headquarters on the island.
