What is there to do on Gili Air?

One of the most recommended activities is snorkeling. You can easily find vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside turtles, colorful fish and other marine life. Snorkel direct from the beach or enjoy a private snorkeling trip around the three Gili islands.

Scuba Diving is very popular with conditions suited to beginners and experienced divers alike. There is a variety of dive sites including shallow pinnacles, coral gardens, wrecks, walls, deep dives and macro.

Gili Air has become a favourite for yoga & wellness lovers. Whether you are seeking guided yoga classes, meditation, sound healing or more.

Some other highly rated activities include cooking classes, massage & spa treatments, horse back riding, stand up paddle boarding, shopping or simply relaxing on the beach.

Whilst the nightlife on Gili Trawangan is more famous, Gili Air also has plenty of evening entertainment to choose from. From live bands to DJ’s. There is something going on every night of the week.

Last but not least, Gili Air has an incredible dining scene. From delicious local warungs to healthy food options to international cuisine and beach clubs. Everyone will be satisfied.

But why choose Gili Air?

Whilst Gili Trawangan is the undisputed party island and Gili Meno is the quietest, Gili Air is the perfect in between.

Go back to basics, with no motorised transport on the island you can ride a bicycle, use a horse cart or walk around without the headache of traffic.

Saturate in the clear warm waters and immerse yourself in the simple island way of life.
