This island has the
largest local population of the three and combine the charm of a tropical island, with access to
people and culture that make Lombok and Gili are
so special. Diving facilities abound
and there is nice snorkelling directly from the shore, particularly from
the east and the northeast beaches. The south of the island has some
good surf, in high and mid high water tide
conditions.

How to
Reached Gili
Air
The Island can be reached in 20 to 40 minutes by outrigger boat from Bangsal harbor, near by Pemenang, and 1 hour by
outrigger boat from
Senggigi Beach. There is a few alternatives to get Gili
Air. Sometimes public boat from Bangsal harbor could be problem because the passenger list should 20 persons at the ticket counter, otherwise you have to charter, most likely the public boat goes to Gili Air and Trawangan. what you can do is try to look other travelers that you can share cost for the boat charter. if you have no option, rather than charter boat, we recommended to stay one night at
Senggigi and next day you can arrange a transport to Gili
air.

Activities
Snorkeling and diving are the highlight of the activities. Snorkeling area are located in the south east (opposite-facing the Lombok Golf Kosaido) and along to the north east). You can just jump into the water to see the colorful fishes and coral reef. In the western part of Gili Air you can't snorkel off the beaches. When the moon is high (low tide), you can't swim off the beach. You need to walk to the south or east side.
There are few quality scuba diving operations on all the islands. While the island is busiest from May through August, the quieter off-season from January to April provides a better opportunity to enjoy all the islet has to offer, with accommodation prices at their lowest level.
To get around the isle, the only means of transport are Cidomos, horse drawn carriages. Bicycle rentals are available too. Expect higher prices for most things there since all food and goods must be brought over from the mainland.
NIGHTLIFE
Gili Air doesn’t have the full on party vibe of big brother Gili
Trawangan but it still has enough entertainment to keep the average
traveller smiling. In high season expect to stumble across the
occasional psychedelic fluro `Goa style’ beach party with raging techno
beats that sometimes don’t stop for the best part of two full days!
Very popular with the older Bali expats, the events are a throw back to
the acid house revolution of yesteryear and are no less tame than their
late 1980’s counterparts. For those of a less excitable persuasion
there’s plenty of social drinking fun to be had.
Most beachfront bars are no frills and all usually close early around
11pm.
Corner Bar is the closest to the harbour and is little more than the
name suggests, a set of barugas and tables and chairs on the beach.
Legend Bar has the weekend Wednesday party night during the high season
months with lots of reggae and house music and is also the location for
the infamous Full and Black Moon beach parties.
Star Bar (next to Blue Marlin Dive) is a popular post dive drinking spot
for the expatriate dive community and visiting scuba enthusiasts.
Imported spirits available.
Zipp’s (next to Manta Dive) serves food and drinks for the Manta Dive
operation and is a popular meeting spot for late afternoon beers.
There’s a reasonable amount of restaurants on Gili Air offering good
value varieties of Indonesian, Western and European food. Mostly located
along the main strip of beach on the east coast, each café and
restaurant shares the same stunning views across to Mount Rinjani.
Frangipani Garden Restaurant is situated at Coconut Cottages about half
way up the main beach strip and is setback in the coconut plantations
serving appetising local and Western dishes. The Sasak inspired `Rice
Table’ needs to be ordered at least one day in advance and is a perfect
feast for small and medium size groups and couples.
Gili Air Santay is renowned for their Thai dishes although it’s only one
example of their wide selection of cuisines from around the world.
Mirage Coffee Bar and Bakery is the place to head to for a full English
breakfast. Although situated on the quieter far northen side of the
island the trip is well worth the effort for tasty homemade sandwiches
and is an ideal spot for a sunset drink.
SURF GILI AIR
What Gili Air is less known for is the fickle but sometimes quality surf
scene. The right hand break to the south west of the island is known as
`Playgili’ and is far from a playground as the wave jacks up for a speed
run over the jagged coral heads and rocks providing solid barrelling
sections.
Electricity
Electricity supply are now available on all the three Gilis. The
electrical voltage in Indonesia is 220 Volt, if you bring any devices
which require recharged at lower voltage (110 Volt) bring an electrical
voltage converter or ask the hotel where you stay for STAVOLT.
