Jungle temples, island diving and a beachfront resort finale for two
View Day-by-DayPadang Bai to Gili Trawangan runs about 75 minutes; arrive at the port at least an hour early. Return crossings can include stops at Nusa Penida or Lembongan and take longer, so keep departure-day plans flexible.
Gili Trawangan is car- and motorbike-free. Explore on foot, by bicycle, or by cidomo (pony cart) — the island loop makes an easy afternoon ride.
Snorkelling tours visit Gili Meno, Gili Air and a turtle sanctuary; a shared GoPro and glass-bottom boat are common inclusions. Leave a gap of at least 18-24 hours between your last dive and flying home.
A sarong and sash are required at temples such as Tirta Empul; bring a change of clothes for the Melukat purification ceremony as you will get wet.
December falls in the wetter season with short afternoon showers. Plan outdoor adventures and boat crossings for the morning and keep spa or resort time as a rainy-hour fallback.
