HOW TO REACH GILI ISLANDS
- Sea - Most people travel to the Gili Islands from Bali, Lombok or Lembongan. The itinerary is simple, the price is reasonable, and it is very easy to find. Most people take the ferry to Gili T and then take a small boat to Gili Meno or Gili Air.
- Flight - Flights from Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) to the new Lombok International Airport (LOP) typically take 30 minutes. Major international airlines such as Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air are currently experiencing rapid growth. After landing at the airport in central Lombok, you will need to travel overland to Bangsal Port in the northwest. You can also reach Bangsal with the reputable Blue Bird Taxi. The roads on mainland Lombok are fairly quiet, making overland travel quick and convenient. Gilis is a 30-minute boat ride from Bangsal.
