GILI GEDE ISLANDS
LOMBOK
INDONESIA





Lombok is an unspoiled Indonesian island . The beaches are clean, the water is clear, the surf is challenging and appreciated by surfing enthusiasts. Trekking is one of the inland attractions, the island is covered by natural rain forest and jungle offering spectacular waterfalls to nature lovers.







Hiking up Gunung Rinjani, some 3700 meter tall volcano, is one of the reasons many visitors come to Lombok.







Even the earthquake tragedy back in mid 2018, that caused distraction in the northern part of Lombok and Mataram, does not stop visitors from visiting Lombok.


The costal beauty of Lombok extends to Gili Gede Islands. Or maybe it is the best part of cruising Lombok. Gili Gede Islands are scenic, the hills are green, the water is azure, the beaches are of golden sand fringed with palms. 




Gili Gede is one of the bigger islands and has a Fast Boat service operating from Bali. It also has a number of villages, friendly locals and local restaurants.

Gili Asahan is less crowded and offers swimming, snorkeling, beach walking and trips to other islands by local boats.







Gili Gede Islands offer nature at its best topped up by spectacular sunsets.
