Gili Trawangan Activities You Don’t Want to Miss

Whether you’re going to the Gilis to completely relax or you’re up for some adventure, there are some Gili Trawangan activities you just must do. We want to share with you some of our favorite things to get up to on Gili T.

Ride a horse in the sea

Is there anything that says island paradise more than riding a horse through the surf? Beginners and experienced riders are welcomed to mount up and have a leisurely ride along the white sands of the island. The ride comes with a guide and lasts around 2 hours.

This is a great activity for early morning or sunset time and in our opinion is one of the most romantic Gili Trawangan activities.

Have a photo shoot

There are 7 species of sea turtles and Gili Trawangan is home to 2 of them. Critically endangers Hawksbills and Green turtles call Gili T home, making swimming with sea turtles one of the most unique Gili Trawangan activities.

Sea turtles can be spotted all around the island, but one of the best spots is directly in front of Villa Almarik. You can walk straight into the water from the beach there and often find sea turtles.
