These little coral islands have a real laid-back tropical island feel and make perfectly placed hideouts from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. With no traffic and nothing but fresh ocean breeze, this 3-day 2-night tour takes you to see two of these islands for an excursion full of relaxation, and special moments to remember for a lifetime. Your first day starts with an early morning pick-up from your hotel in Bali, which will take you to the harbor to a speedboat that will arrive at Gili Trawangan in just a few hours’ time. On the way, catch breathtaking views of Mount Agung and the deep blue sea. Once on the island, spend the day relaxing at a beautiful tropical island resort – lounge by the pool, dive in the sea or hop on a bicycle to explore the coastline. Don’t miss the sunset at one of the beach clubs – it’s a true spectacle of nature you don’t want to miss out on! Your second day features a private snorkeling tour on Gili Trawangan’s quieter but equally beautiful sister island, Gili Air. The 3-hour snorkeling tour takes you to see several amazing spots, beautiful coral reefs and colorful marine life. You’ll also get to swim with giant sea turtles, a magical experience! Spend the rest of the day as you like at another tropical resort – sipping cocktails, swimming, sunbathing – before another magnificent island sunset kicks in. If you’re an early bird, start day 3 early to catch the awe-inspiring sunrise of Gili Air. Otherwise, snoozing in bed to the sound of the sea is a lovely way to spend the first hours of your last morning on the Gili Islands. Enjoy one more swim in the turquoise sea, sit down for breakfast and say goodbye to these gorgeous islands. The speedboat will bring you back to the mainland of Bali where you will be transported to your hotel by shuttle bus.

The waiting time for the boat tour was a bit tedious, but then everything went smoothly. On Gili T we stayed at Hotel Pink Coco, we really liked this hotel and there is a wonderful view of the sunset from there. A recommendation here is also a bike tour around the island. The snorkeling tour the next day was great too, our boat guide really took his time with us and made sure we were comfortable and seeing everything (corals, turtles).

Very pleasant day in the company of our guide Rido. The tour includes stops at the three pink beaches (my favorite was the first, or pink beach 2 where in my opinion the water was more crystalline) and stops at some points where I was able to swim surrounded by colorful fish and admire beautiful corals. Also nice is the climb to the viewpoint where we could admire the cliff from above.

We had an awesome tour with our guide Inggah. We startet with catching fresh lobster for our lunch and went to the first snorkelling spot. The spot was quiet and very nice. At the beaches we had lunch and met Rido as well, who is a great guide as well. There was a little surprise but the view was stunning. Highly recommended this tour!

Amazing Trip! Our Tour Guide Rido was very friendly and made the trip, everything was well organised and we had lots of fun. The beaches themselves were absolutely beautiful and our favourite part was the snorkelling, so colourful and fish everywhere! We would 100% recommended this trip and Rido.

I went along with my sister and we had the whole boat to ourselves. Our guide didn’t speak much English but we didn’t mind as he still pointed out the things we needed to see including turtles which was phenomenal. Would recommend!
