Senggigi – Gili Islands Daily Cruises

Senggigi Beach Lombok
Sengigi is located on the western coast of Lombok with two stunning bays and the white sand beach. Senggigi Beach is only 15 minutes drive from Selaparang Airport, 45 minutes drive from Lembar Harbour and about 25 kilometers to Gili Island; the best dive site in Lombok.

Senggigi Beach Divided into three regions: northern Mangsit Beach, Central Senggigi and southern stretch near Batu Bolong. It’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling and other watersport activities completed with dramatic background. Senggigi beach is stretched out about 10 km of beachfront to the north of Mataram, Lombok’s capital.

Senggigi is the most developed area for tourists on Lombok. You can find a variety of restaurants, bars, discotheques, travel agents, photo processors, money changers, souvenir shop and a range of accommodations starting from budget guest house to 5 star hotels. Restaurants and small cafes line the colorful main beach road. Swimming off the beach is safe.

Gili Islands
Lombok’s most popular tourist destination, the Gili Islands started off as a backpacker mecca. This is still true but times are changing and there are now a rash of glamour options on the islands, especially Gili Trawangan. The islands are very relaxed and laid-back, with countless little beachside cafes still playing reggae and serving up banana pancakes, but also at the other end of the scale, elaborate seafood buffets, fresh salads and very good western and Asian food. Best of all, there are no cars or motorbikes to disturb the peace. The white sand beaches are without a doubt better than anywhere on Bali or Lombok. There are increasing numbers of westerners living on the Gilis and operating businesses from dive companies to resorts and there is a strong environmental focus here as the reefs have ben damaged in the past. While once people came to dive, snorkel and party, a more upmarket tourist is showing up now and while it is still all about the beach, there are many more options to wine and dine or hang out and meet new friends. From west to east, the islands are:

* Gili Trawangan (sometimes Trewangan) or just Gili T is the most developed with plenty of backpacker options, one swanky resort and increasing numbers of villas. There are no dogs on the island but according to one local, there are more cats here than people. The local population is around 800.

* Gili Meno, the smallest and quietest, low-key with some simple places to stay.

* Gili Air, closest to the mainland and with the largest local population.

Strictly speaking, the name “Gili Islands” is rather redundant as gili simply means “small island” in Sasak, but the name has stuck and is universally used and understood in Lombok.

There are also some other islands off Lombok called Gili Something, eg. Gili Nanggu and Gili Gede, but these are located to the southwest near Lembar, quite a distance from the “main” Gilis.
