fantastic day welcome to Gili Trawangan
You and I are going to discover what Gili T has to offer us to do
stand up paddleboarding don't worry if you can't stand up. Sit on it, kneel on it just get
out there and enjoy those beautiful waters
swimming and snorkeling with all
that beautiful beach and lovely clear water you're gonna want to get in there

now what is it about sitting on the beach that just makes food taste so much
better and what a beautiful location gili trawangan is to eat on the beach feel the
sand between your toes and eat that fresh food in the evenings the
restaurants are beautifully lit up there's fresh food cooked on the fire
and it's served with a smile pick your food dig in enjoy
and as the evening
moves on there's plenty nightlife to be enjoyed
on gili islands go see some fire dancing to some music some live bands performing
different music different places DJ's performing at parties get your
moves on at one of the beach parties or just jam of it with the locals there's
something for everyone
and with absolutely no vehicles on the gili islands it's a great place to rent a bike
it's a good way to go around the island visit things stop for a meal or drink on
the way just watch out for the local traffic there's no signposts but it's
very simple just go round the edge we'll cut right across the middle there is
loads of places renting bikes everywhere you'll see these signs rent a bike go on
go in negotiate a price check it's decent get cycling or if you don't to be so
energetic go and get a massage let someone else do the work while you lay
back and work all those knots out of your muscles or get a manicure or a
pedicure there is loads of places around the island find one that suits you with
its location from the people get a nice massage relax breathe in the fresh air
and chill
now you're feeling nice and relaxed time to do something a bit more energetic
go diving! There's lots of lovely diving sites all fairly peaceful sites around
Gili if you don't know how to dive what a perfect place to learn how to dive
there is lots of diving centers centers dotted along the waterfront wander along
check the prices out find one that speaks your language you'll find a lot
of these dive centers speak lots of different languages which is very useful
if you want to learn and go out and check out the life underwater
head over to the western side of the island and you will come to the beaches that face
the sunset perfect Instagram material along the beach you will find these
swings in the water different styles different places outside the different
cafes and restaurants it's free to go sit on the swings get your photograph
taken those perfect Instagram make everyone at home jealous photos and enjoy
the sunset the whole island is perfect for just relaxing at the beach take some
alone time catch some sun have a drink absorb nature
forget everything I just look at the beautiful views share a drink with a
friends walk in the water feel the cold on your feet and look how
beautiful is that and what a fantastic place to do yoga
away from everything no traffic fresh air this is the place to either continue
yoga or learn to do yoga there is places where you can join you you have drop in
classes which you can just join with other people as a group class or
you can have your own lessons on the beach in a private area your choice
breathe relax enjoy
now you're relaxed time to do something energetic take one
of the snorkeling trips around the three islands there's three islands we're on
gili trawangan at the moment there's also gili meno in gili air and you can do a boat
trip which you can either rentt private boat for yourself or a group or
join a group of other people and go and visit the islands spend little time
on each Island snorkel the sites in between before returning back to gili t
now because there's no vehicles of any kind on the island these are the local
taxis now you can rent one to take you around the island do a bit of
sightseeing but their main purpose is to take your luggage from the boats to your
accommodation and vice versa you can also use them to cut across the island
if you're going from one beach to the other prices from the port to the hotels
should be set but just check it's a hundred thousand rupiah that's about
seven dollars to any of the places from the port where the boat comes in to any
of the locations across the waterfront to the center or far side of the island
is about $10 or a hundred & fifty thousand rupiah
back to the beach back to the beautiful water rent a kayak there's
kayaks dotted along the beach find whoever's responsible if you can't swim
remember to take a lifejacket they're single and double kayaks go out there
paddle around have some fun
of course all this activity makes you hungry you
don't always want to go for a meal and dotted along the street you will find
these carts with pancakes and sweet corn and grapes and all sorts of
tasty snacks
find one that takes your fancy watch them cook it and then enjoy it
and if you want to learn how to cook Indonesian food which is delicious by
the way there is a cooking school in town now generally my experience at
cooking is quite disastrous so maybe I could do with a few of these lessons
and the sunset, oh the sunsets. Beautiful views from the beach
over the water get a drink look out and from the west side of the island you
look on to Bali and the volcano Agung is in the view there if you look very
carefully it's beautiful
and if you're lucky you might spot some turtles off at
turtle point but please don't touch them
or get pulled into the air by a boat at
high speed and get a different view of the sea
if you dare!
and for something a little more sedate take a ride along the beach on the western side
just at sunset time they come you can just get a gentle ride down the beach
or I suppose gallop if you know what you're doing
want to learn how to hold
your breath and feel what it's like to fly under water? then try learning to
free dive
a very freeing experience beautiful well worth the money
and wait there's more, that was 20 but there's also boat parties pub crawls go
and get yourself a tattoo go and do some shopping
but gili trawangan is a great place to go and have a good time so I hope you've
