About Bali

Bali nestles between Java to the west and Lombok to the east in the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. A small island with an estimated 10,000 temples and a vibrant arts culture, Bali has much more to offer than just picturesque beaches and excellent surf. Aside from its natural beauty, the happy-go-lucky Balinese way of life makes it hard to leave, too. Kuta in the south boasts a superb nightlife, Ubud is characterised by stunning rice fields, while the heart of the island is dominated by dramatic volcanoes and hillside temples and shrines, so there’s plenty to see on this incredible island. Travelling by ferry is a convenient way to explore Indonesia’s beautiful islands and Bali is a great departure point for doing so, with a few ports on along the east coast offering frequent routes to the nearby island of Lombok and to the Gili Islands.

About Gili Islands

The Gili Islands are a small archipelago off the northwest coast of Lombok, an island in Indonesia. Fringed by white sand beaches, turquoise waters and tall palm trees, the Gilis comprise three slices of paradise, all with their own unique character. Trawangan, usually known as ‘Gili T’, is the most popular island, famous for its funky atmosphere and buzzing nightlife tailored to the backpacking community. Gili Air offers a more traditional Indonesian feel, whilst Gili Meno makes the perfect peaceful island getaway. Each island has superb snorkelling and diving opportunities, too, boasting some of the finest spots in South East Asia. There are also many dive operators where you can obtain PADI and SSI licences. The Gili Islands are a popular destination for short excursions or as a stopover whilst travelling through Indonesia. From Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, there are frequent sailings to numerous ports on the east coast of Bali.
