Island guide, harbor choices, and boat route planning
Use this guide to choose between Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno, understand arrival logistics, and decide which Bali or Lombok route fits your trip.
Which Gili Island Should You Choose?
Gili Trawangan is the busiest island with the widest range of stays and nightlife. Gili Air is quieter and easier for couples or relaxed beach days. Gili Meno is the smallest and best suited to slow, low-key trips.
How to Get to the Gili Islands
Most travelers compare Bali departure harbors first. Padang Bai is often the shortest sea crossing, while Sanur and Serangan can be more convenient from South Bali depending on operator availability and transfer plans.
