Gili Gede is one of the lesser-known islands in Indonesia. It is located in Lombok southwest, not too far away from the popular Gili Islands. It’s known for its stunning natural beauty, serene atmosphere, and vibrant marine life, making it a great destination for those seeking a more tranquil experience than its more touristy neighbors.

The best of Gili Gede :

  1. Beaches: Gili Gede boasts beautiful white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters, perfect for sunbathing and swimming.
  2. Diving and Snorkeling: The waters around the island are rich in marine biodiversity, offering excellent opportunities for diving and snorkeling. You can see colorful coral reefs and a variety of fish species.
  3. Local Culture: The island has a small local population, and visitors can experience traditional Sasak culture, local cuisine, and warm hospitality.
  4. Activities: Besides water sports, Gili Gede is ideal for hiking, exploring, and enjoying stunning sunsets. You can also take boat trips to nearby smaller islands.
  5. Accessibility: While it is less crowded than other islands, Gili Gede can be reached by boat from Lombok, making it a convenient getaway for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle.

Getting to Gili Gede is relatively straightforward, though it requires a bit of planning since it’s less accessible than the more popular Gili Islands. Here are the main ways to reach Gili Gede:

From Lombok:

  1. Boat from Lembar Port:
    • Ferries: Take a ferry from Bali to Lembar Port in Lombok. The ferry ride typically takes about 4-5 hours.
    • Local Boats: Once at Lembar, you can hire a traditional boat (called a “perahu”) to Gili Gede. This boat ride usually takes around 30-45 minutes.
  2. Private Charter:
    • You can arrange for a private boat charter directly from Lombok mainland or even from popular spots like Gili Trawangan or Kuta on Lombok. This option is more expensive but can be more convenient and comfortable.

From Bali:

  1. Fast Boat to Lombok:
    • Take a fast boat from Bali to one of the ports in Lombok, such as Senggigi or Bangsal. The fast boat ride usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
    • From there, follow the steps above to reach Gili Gede by local boat from Lembar.
