The Gili islands, which remained uninhabited until about four decades ago, have rapidly become a hotspot, first for backpackers, and now for the full range of tourists. Gili Trawangan was the first to attract visitors. As a result, it is by far the most developed and offers more options in terms of accommodation and restaurants. In the early days of this island’s development as a tourist destination, it was considered to be a great location for holding wild parties and this continues to be partially true even today, but Gili Trawangan has transformed over the years and has a lot to offer to different categories of tourists.

Popular tourist attractions in Trawangan include freediving and scuba diving because of attractive coral formations and abundance of marine life. Shark point, Simon’s reef, and Manta point are some of the most famous diving destinations within the island.

The powdery white beaches and clear blue water are well positioned for great sunset views over Mt. Agung in Bali and sunrise views over Mt. Rinjani in Lombok. The most popular beach stretches are Goodheart and North Beach, best known for snorkeling. However, it pays to be aware of the fact that there are strong currents and, therefore, it is not a good idea to attempt to swim across to other islands.
