Which Island Should You Stay On?
All three share the same dive sites and the same standard of instruction. The boat journey between them is under 15 minutes, so this is about your evenings.
Gili Air
Couples and families
A balance of relaxed beachfront cafes and local village life, without the nightlife.
Air Wall for macro, Hans Reef for beginners
Gili Meno
Quiet and secluded
The most tranquil of the three. Quiet beaches, a turtle sanctuary, and very little else.
Immediate access to Meno Wall and Bounty Wreck
Getting here
How to Reach the Islands
From Bali
Fast boats depart Padang Bai daily and take 90 to 120 minutes. Morning departures only, so plan to arrive the day before a course.
From Lombok Airport
A 90-minute taxi from LOP to Bangsal Harbour, then a 15-minute public boat to the islands.
On the islands
No cars and no motorbikes. Everything is walkable, by bicycle, or by cidomo — a horse-drawn cart.
Between the islands
Island-hopper boats run between Trawangan, Air and Meno. The crossing takes under 15 minutes.
The island entrance fee plus Gili Eco Trust contribution — roughly IDR 150,000 per person — is paid in cash once on arrival. ATMs exist on Trawangan but run out, and there are none on Meno.

Common Questions

Two weeks normally, and three to four for July to August and December to January when instructor availability is tightest.
No. That is the administrative office for bookings. Every dive operation runs from the Gili Islands, where we have centres on all three and where the instructors live.
No. A 20% deposit is what reserves the instructor and the dates. The balance is payable on arrival, in IDR, USD or EUR, or by card with a 3% bank processing fee.
