It’s so easy to get to these wonderful islands that you should not miss out on a trip to the Gilis. We are more than happy to help you with your bookings, just email us on [email protected] or more information. All information provided here is subjected to change due to weather conditions and force major. Fast boat ticket prices vary but you certainly get what you pay for in terms of comfort. Please note, it isn’t necessarily cheaper to get a return ticket and often plans change especially once you have fallen in love with the Gilis. We know of many return tickets that have never been used.

 

Divine Divers is located in the North West of Gili Meno whereas the main harbor is in the South East. Gili Meno as well as the two other Gilis have banned motorized transport. You get around by walking, cycling or per horse cart. Bikes can be hired either for an hourly or daily rate, the cidomo horse carts charge you according to distance and walking is of course free. Best is to agree on the price before you hire and friendly haggling always helps.  Please expect a 20 to 25 minutes leisurely walk to get from the harbour to Divine Divers.

 

If walking or horse drawn carriages are not what you have on your mind, you can also charter a private boat for little money from either Lombok or the other two Gilis which will drop you off right in front of our doorstep.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][qodef_single_image enable_image_shadow=”no” image_behavior=”lightbox” image=”3585″ image_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” enable_surfer_icon=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1649863855694{padding-top: 88px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 7%” item_padding_1400_1600=”0 5%” item_padding_1025_1399=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”0 14%” item_padding_681_768=”0 11%” item_padding_680=”60px 5% 0″][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4ZG9jdW1lbnQlMjkucmVhZHklMjhmdW5jdGlvbiUyOCUyOSUyMCU3QiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNyUyM3RleHRvcGVuMSUyNyUyOS5oaWRlJTI4JTI5JTNCJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4JTI3LmJ1dHRvbm9wZW4xJTI3JTI5LmNsaWNrJTI4ZnVuY3Rpb24lMjhlJTI5JTdCJTBBZS5wcmV2ZW50RGVmYXVsdCUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyMiUyM3RleHRvcGVuMSUyMiUyOS5zbGlkZVRvZ2dsZSUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNy5idXR0b25vcGVuMSUyNyUyOS50b2dnbGVDbGFzcyUyOCUyN29wZW5lZCUyMGNsb3NlZCUyNyUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_js][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-ship” color=”turquoise”][vc_column_text]

BY BOAT FROM BALI

Fast Boats

The Gilis (and Lombok) are serviced by many fast boats from Bali. Speedboats depart from Padang Bai (East Bali), Ahmed (East Bali) and Serangan (South Bali near Sanur). The fast boat companies will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the departure harbor. Most companies offer various departures per day – one leaving in the morning and one around lunchtime.[/vc_column_text][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 7%” item_padding_1400_1600=”0 5%” item_padding_1025_1399=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”0 14%” item_padding_681_768=”0 10%” item_padding_680=”70px 5% 0″][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4ZG9jdW1lbnQlMjkucmVhZHklMjhmdW5jdGlvbiUyOCUyOSUyMCU3QiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNyUyM3RleHRvcGVuMiUyNyUyOS5oaWRlJTI4JTI5JTNCJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4JTI3LmJ1dHRvbm9wZW4yJTI3JTI5LmNsaWNrJTI4ZnVuY3Rpb24lMjhlJTI5JTdCJTBBZS5wcmV2ZW50RGVmYXVsdCUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyMiUyM3RleHRvcGVuMiUyMiUyOS5zbGlkZVRvZ2dsZSUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNy5idXR0b25vcGVuMiUyNyUyOS50b2dnbGVDbGFzcyUyOCUyN29wZW5lZCUyMGNsb3NlZCUyNyUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_js][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-suitcase” color=”turquoise”][vc_column_text]

BY BOAT FROM LOMBOK

Public boat

Bangsal harbor in North West Lombok is the main getaway to the Gili Islands. The public ferries to the islands are very cheap and the trip takes 20 to 30 minutes. Just make sure you purchase the ticket at the official ticket office to avoid overcharging by some local touts. Scheduled times are 09:00, 14:00 and 17:00.[/vc_column_text][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 7%” item_padding_1400_1600=”0 5%” item_padding_1025_1399=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”60px 14% 0″ item_padding_681_768=”60px 11% 0″ item_padding_680=”70px 5% 0″][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4ZG9jdW1lbnQlMjkucmVhZHklMjhmdW5jdGlvbiUyOCUyOSUyMCU3QiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNyUyM3RleHRvcGVuMyUyNyUyOS5oaWRlJTI4JTI5JTNCJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4JTI3LmJ1dHRvbm9wZW4zJTI3JTI5LmNsaWNrJTI4ZnVuY3Rpb24lMjhlJTI5JTdCJTBBZS5wcmV2ZW50RGVmYXVsdCUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyMiUyM3RleHRvcGVuMyUyMiUyOS5zbGlkZVRvZ2dsZSUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNy5idXR0b25vcGVuMyUyNyUyOS50b2dnbGVDbGFzcyUyOCUyN29wZW5lZCUyMGNsb3NlZCUyNyUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_js][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-plane” color=”turquoise”][vc_column_text]

BY AIRPLANE

Lombok International Airport (LOP) is located in Southern Lombok and is the go-to airport for domestic and international flights. From the airport it is a 1,5 to 2 hour drive to either Bangsal or Teluk Nara from where you can catch a public (Bangsal – 20-30 minutes) or speed boat (Taluk Nara – 15 minutes) to Gili Meno. Let us know if you’d like to book an airport transfer.

GETTING AROUND AND BETWEEN

It is easy to find Divine Divers on Gili Meno. We are located on the most beautiful sunset beach almost opposite the harbour. Just follow the path through the center of the island for about 20 minutes, hire a cidomo (horse card) or rent a bike. Alternatively hire a local boat from either Lombok, Gili Air or Gili Trawangan and be dropped off on our beach to directly faceplant into our Bubbles beach bar.[/vc_column_text][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” enable_surfer_icon=”no” css=”.vc_custom_1650448249153{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 7%” item_padding_1400_1600=”0 5%” item_padding_1025_1399=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”0 14%” item_padding_681_768=”0 11%” item_padding_680=”60px 5% 0″][qodef_button type=”outline” text=”Read more” target=”_self” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text_transform=”” enable_wave_hover=”yes” color=”#0a0a0a” hover_color=”#ffffff” hover_background_color=”#0a0a0a” border_color=”#0a0a0a” hover_border_color=”#0a0a0a” margin=”10px 0 0 0″ custom_class=”buttonopen1″][vc_column_text el_id=”textopen1″ css=”.vc_custom_1650450010023{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The crossing time depends highly on the season and therewith on the weather and conditions. It usually takes 1,5 to 2 hours but it can also take longer during rainy season. Eka Jaya has a speed boat directly to Gili Meno. Tickets can either be booked at one of the many tour agencies (don’t forget to negotiate the price) or directly https://ekajayafastboat.com/

If you can’t get a direct transfer to Gili Meno, it makes sense to get a ticket to Gili Trawangan. Here you have two options. Please contact us for recommendations. Once there, you can either wait in one of the many beach cafes for the island hopper boat. This will take you to Meno harbor. From there you can either walk to Divine Divers on the opposite side of the island (about 20 minutes) or you can take a horse card.

The other option is to charter a small boat to the west side of Gili Meno where you will be dropped off directly in front of Divine Divers. The price depends on the season and you will always get a better price if you bargain with a smile. The price is always per boat so it makes sense to get some people together who also want to go to Gili Meno. If you’d like us to arrange your transfer from Gili Tranwangan, just let us know in advance.

On a budget

Are you a very seasoned traveller who doesn’t mind some long journeys? Are you on a budget and would like to travel like many of the locals do? Then the public ferry might be an option for you. Ferries leave almost hourly 24/7 and you can get tickets at the ticket counter at the harbor in Padangbai. Even though the crossing time is only about 4 hours, expect this journey to take the entire day (or longer). The ferry lands in Lembar in West Lombok. From there you can change to public transit to make your way to Bangsal and the Gilis. Alternatively, you can hire a driver. Please only approach this trip if the journey is your destinations. It’s a cool experience but it doesn’t get you to the Gili Islands fast.[/vc_column_text][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 7%” item_padding_1400_1600=”0 5%” item_padding_1025_1399=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”0 14%” item_padding_681_768=”0 10%” item_padding_680=”70px 5% 0″][qodef_button type=”outline” text=”Read more” target=”_self” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text_transform=”” enable_wave_hover=”yes” color=”#0a0a0a” hover_color=”#ffffff” hover_background_color=”#0a0a0a” border_color=”#0a0a0a” hover_border_color=”#0a0a0a” margin=”10px 0 0 0″ custom_class=”buttonopen2″][vc_column_text el_id=”textopen2″ css=”.vc_custom_1650450015947{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]However, the boats leave when full and not necessarily on the scheduled time. It is best to be prepared for some waiting time. The public boat will take you to Gili Meno harbor from where you can either walk (approx. 20 minutes) or take a horse card to Divine Divers.

Speed boat

Should you miss the last public boat or public boats are not really your thing then it is also an option to charter a private (speed) boat at both Bangsal and Teluk Nara. Let us know if you need help with prebooking this service. Please be aware, that we can’t just pull a speedboat out of a hat and need some time to arrange a speedboat transfer.

If you are a group of people, the private (speed) boat option is actually the more convenient one since these boats can drop you off right in front of Divine Divers (tide permitting). If the tide is too low, you will again be dropped at Gili Meno harbor. From there it’s a 20-minute walk or short cidomo (horsecard) ride.[/vc_column_text][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 7%” item_padding_1400_1600=”0 5%” item_padding_1025_1399=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”60px 14% 0″ item_padding_681_768=”60px 11% 0″ item_padding_680=”70px 5% 0″][qodef_button type=”outline” text=”Read more” target=”_self” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text_transform=”” enable_wave_hover=”yes” color=”#0a0a0a” hover_color=”#ffffff” hover_background_color=”#0a0a0a” border_color=”#0a0a0a” hover_border_color=”#0a0a0a” margin=”10px 0 0 0″ custom_class=”buttonopen3″][vc_column_text el_id=”textopen3″ css=”.vc_custom_1650450022388{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]Alternatively, you can also take a taxi and arrange your own transfer to the islands.

International Flights

Before the pandemic there were daily international (direct) flights from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Perth. Following airlines serviced the airport: Air Asia, Silk Air (Singapore Airlines) and Garuda. Garuda connects Lombok to major destinations around the world with a stopover in Jakarta.

We assume that the flight operators will resume their service to Lombok International Airport again once restrictions in Indonesia are lifted. The VOA (visa on arrival had also been suspended at the moment but it is a matter of time before quarantine free travel and VOA become available again. We will keep you up to date.

Domestic flights

Several flights a day connect Denpasar (DPS) in Bali to Lombok (LOP) and several airlines fly this route and vice versa. The flight time is approximately 25 minutes. You can book tickets online, at ticket agencies or at the domestic terminal in Denpasar.

But also other Indonesian airports have daily flights to Lombok. Garuda connects Lombok to the rest of the world with a brief stopover in Jakarta.

You either charter a local boat or take the island hopper which is available twice per day for a bit of pocket money. Since times could be changing, best check with us, your hotel or at the harbor for the most up to date time table. Even through the distance in between the islands is only a few hundred meters and from your beach lounger Tranwangan looks like a stone throw away

Despite the fact that the islands are only a few hundred meters apart, and appear to be swimmable, DO NOT attempt to swim between them, the currents are deceptively strong, and a number of people have died trying. This is usually no problem when snorkelling close to the shore, but further out you can get swept away.[/vc_column_text][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1650039113209{margin-top: 100px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4ZG9jdW1lbnQlMjkucmVhZHklMjhmdW5jdGlvbiUyOCUyOSUyMCU3QiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNyUyM3RleHRvcGVuNSUyNyUyOS5oaWRlJTI4JTI5JTNCJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4JTI3LmJ1dHRvbm9wZW41JTI3JTI5LmNsaWNrJTI4ZnVuY3Rpb24lMjhlJTI5JTdCJTBBZS5wcmV2ZW50RGVmYXVsdCUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyMiUyM3RleHRvcGVuNSUyMiUyOS5zbGlkZVRvZ2dsZSUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNy5idXR0b25vcGVuNSUyNyUyOS50b2dnbGVDbGFzcyUyOCUyN29wZW5lZCUyMGNsb3NlZCUyNyUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_js][vc_single_image image=”3615″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]Looking for a perfect holiday paradise? Then look no further. With its white-sand beaches and coconut palm trees the Gili islands are just that vision of paradise. The three Gilis, namely, Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan are located off the north west coast of Lombok and are relatively easily accessible from both Lombok and Bali. Each island has its distinct personality. The Gilis offer some of the best snorkeling and diving possibilities in the region and you’ll forever be surrounded by the key element that makes the Gilis Islands an unbeaten tropical paradise.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”textopen5″]Gili Trawangan is the biggest one of the three. It has earned itself a reputation of a party island but has drawn in a more upmarket crowd in the past few years. Once a backpacker paradise with simple beach bars and huts the old party goers have settled down and many have chosen Gili T to raise their children. Families and travelers who are seeking the tropical island experience with the luxuries from home now often flock to the beaches. Once the sun sets on Trawangan you’ll realize it is still there, Gili T, the partygoers paradise. The social atmosphere is a massive draw and each night of the week another club or bar hosts a party.

Gili Air is located closest to Lombok and has without doubt the best sunrise view over Mount Rinjani. There is a wide range of accommodation on the island and food options are also quite varied. Gili Air is a quieter version of Gili T and eager party animals should aim for full moon to enjoy a wild night out. Gili Air is certainly more tranquil and its character is a blend of Meno and Tranwangan. If you are after beaches and the Gilis from 20 years ago, aim for Meno.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4ZG9jdW1lbnQlMjkucmVhZHklMjhmdW5jdGlvbiUyOCUyOSUyMCU3QiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNyUyM3RleHRvcGVuNiUyNyUyOS5oaWRlJTI4JTI5JTNCJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4JTI3LmJ1dHRvbm9wZW42JTI3JTI5LmNsaWNrJTI4ZnVuY3Rpb24lMjhlJTI5JTdCJTBBZS5wcmV2ZW50RGVmYXVsdCUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyMiUyM3RleHRvcGVuNiUyMiUyOS5zbGlkZVRvZ2dsZSUyOCUyOSUzQiUwQWpRdWVyeSUyOCUyNy5idXR0b25vcGVuNiUyNyUyOS50b2dnbGVDbGFzcyUyOCUyN29wZW5lZCUyMGNsb3NlZCUyNyUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSU3RCUyOSUzQiUwQSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==[/vc_raw_js][vc_single_image image=”3870″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]Gili Meno is known for its relaxed and serene beauty away from the other two island’s. The smallest and quietest of the three Gilis, Meno arguably has the best beaches of the lot – imagine white sand scattered with palm trees, fringed with crystal clear water.

Gili Meno has a population of only about 300 locals. The interior of the island is mostly palm trees surrounded by grass which is kept neat by cows grazing lazily in the shade.

The main village is located on the eastern side of Gili Meno where you will also find the the tiny harbour alongside some accommodation, shops and the doctor’s clinic.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_id=”textopen6″]Sunset Beach, on the northwest side of Meno, is where your Gili Meno dive center Divine Divers is based. The scenery is more tranquil and most visitors consider it the best part of the island.

In general, there are great seafood restaurants, hotels and guesthouses that cater to all budgets scattered about here and there. You’ll find life music in some of the lovely beach bars but Gili Meno is by far the most laid back of the three. If you are longing for busy nightlife you’re only a few minutes’ boat ride from Gili Air and Gili Trawangan, both boasting nice beaches and a huge array of accommodation, restaurants, and entertainment.

Not far from Divine Divers in the north of the island you’ll find a turtle nursery, where locals are taking care of baby turtles until they are 8 months old. At this age, they are big enough to be released into the sea. You can support them financially but also help them to feed the turtles.

Also, Gili Meno has amazing snorkeling spots such as the famous “Bask Nest” which is an underwater sculpture with 48 life-sized human figures made by the artist Jason deCaires Taylor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1650450361828{margin-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][qodef_button type=”outline” text=”Read more” target=”_self” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text_transform=”” enable_wave_hover=”yes” color=”#0a0a0a” hover_color=”#ffffff” hover_background_color=”#0a0a0a” border_color=”#0a0a0a” hover_border_color=”#0a0a0a” margin=”20px 0 0 0″ custom_class=”buttonopen5″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][qodef_button type=”outline” text=”Read more” target=”_self” icon_pack=”” font_weight=”” text_transform=”” enable_wave_hover=”yes” color=”#0a0a0a” hover_color=”#ffffff” hover_background_color=”#0a0a0a” border_color=”#0a0a0a” hover_border_color=”#0a0a0a” margin=”20px 0 0 0″ custom_class=”buttonopen6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” content_text_aligment=”center” enable_surfer_icon=”no” parallax_background_image=”3626″ parallax_bg_speed=”1.5″ css=”.vc_custom_1649863422737{padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/2″][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item horizontal_alignment=”center” item_padding_1400_1600=”254px 0 0 3%” item_padding_1025_1399=”254px 0 0 3%” item_padding_769_1024=”12px 0 0″ item_padding_681_768=”25px 0 0″ item_padding_680=”27px 0 0 0″][qodef_custom_font title_tag=”” font_weight=”400″ font_style=”” text_transform=”lowercase” text_decoration=”” text_align=”” title=”ins and outs” font_family=”Mr Dafoe” font_size=”140″ line_height=”55px” color=”#ffffff” letter_spacing=”0em” font_size_1024=”100px” line_height_1024=”100px” font_size_768=”80px” line_height_768=”80px” line_height_680=”0px”][/qodef_elements_holder_item][/qodef_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1580301407327{margin-left: -11.5% !important;}”][qodef_elements_holder holder_full_height=”no” number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][qodef_elements_holder_item item_padding=”0 0 0 0″ item_padding_769_1024=”32px 0 0″ item_padding_681_768=”32px 0 0″ item_padding_680=”0px 0 50px 25%”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]
