LOCATION GILI ISLANDSSnorkelling
For those of you that don't fancy diving but still want to enjoy the crystal clear water and have a chance of swimming with turtles, there are daily snokelling trips that visit all three Gilis. There is also plenty of great marine life to be found just off the beach. Turtles, moray eels and cuttlefish are a few of the creatures to be seen just 20meters from the shore.
Not everywhere is good for snorkelling as there can be strong tidal currents so make sure you check with a dive shop before going out.
Golf
The Lombok Golf Kosaido Country Club is an 18 hole championship course that offers a unique, challenging and world class experience for golfers of all levels.
The course is located a 10 minute speed boat journey from Gili Trawangan, arriving on the beach at the 4th hole. We arrange one day and half day packages including transport, 18 holes green fee, club rental, buggy, caddy, lunch and drinks. We offer the most competetive rates and are always looking for some fresh competition. When you're here speak to Marcus or Antony as they're always keen to play.
Wakeboarding and water skiing:
In order to preserve the peaceful enviromnent of the Gilis these types of watersports are only permitted in a small bay in Lombok. There are numerous companies offering a variety of water sports that can all be booked at short notice, you would however be advised to look around for the best rates.
Surfing
All 3 Gilis have surf, the South East corner of Trawangan and Gili Air are the main areas but both are very much dependant on the swell. When it's good it's really good however it isn't consistent. If you want consistent waves locally go to South Lombok. It's also not for beginners as it's all reef breaks.
Sea kayaking
On the north end of Gili Trawangan there is a new restaurant and accommodation called Karma Kayak. Run by Grace and Astrid it's a relaxing and peaceful part of the island where you can chill out and sample some of their great 'Tapas'. Astrid is also a Kayaking instructor and offers courses and tours around the Gilis. For more information contact them by email.
Horse Riding
For the slightly more adventurous horses can be hired and the island is yours to explore. Experience on horses is recomended as they can be rather feisty.
