GETTING TO GILI ISLAND

long been the magnet for holiday makers from around the
globe. It has gorgeous beach and fantastic under sea charms
for divers or snorkelers to discover. Gili can easily be
accessed either from the mainland, Lombok, or directly from
Bali by fast boat.

As soon
as you arrive at the airport or harbor, you can hire an
airport taxi to get to the harbor of Bangsal, the most
common port to cross the strait to Gili. Public boats
tickets are available at the clerk for fixed prices. The
schedule really depends on the maximum number of allowed
passengers. However, chartered boats are also available at
