However, due to damaged conditions or deep sand, not all roads in Gili Trawangan can be passed by bicycle, so you must walk. Another option is using a Cidomo. Cidomo is a public transportation system (horse carriages) in Gili. Before renting Cidomo, ask for the rate and don't be afraid to bargain if it's too pricey.
