Private snorkeling trip

Gili Air island is part of a series of 3 very popular Gili discussed as a tourism destination that is in great demand by local and foreign tourists as evidenced by the increasing level of visits to these 3 islands, especially Gili Trawangan.

While Gili Air which is actually more popular first than Gili Trawangan is now like an audience who is salivating seeing the rapid development of Gili Trawangan.

The beginning of the introduction of tourism in 3 Gili started from Gili Air, every businessman reportedly was intervened too much by local residents so that every investor could not be free to make entrepreneurs uncomfortable to invest.

The parent of the 3 Gili communities who are very involved in developing 3 Gili tourism including most of the boat ownership that operates regularly to the 3 Gili is owned by Gili Air people.

Some who have businesses in Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno also come from Gili Air, the administrative centre for the 3 Gili region which is incorporated into one village area, namely GILI INDAH Village also located in Gili Air there is a village office and supervises every Kadus who leads every Gili.

In each village head and Kadus election the nuances of enjoyment are very strong because to be powerful in becoming a Kadus on Gili especially Gili Trawangan is like a district level election. Because to become the ruler of the authority of Gili Trawangan is like fighting over fertile land.

Because the income from 3 Gilis is huge, especially Gili Trawangan. Where every five-star hotel or bungalow class is a land that can be expected to contribute as a partner to make Gili more visitors and the impact of all of that must be a promising role.

From each levy will be managed by Kadus and become an influential person on the Gili, it is certainly very promising and has the authority to regulate and give permission for every decision, besides that Air Gili also has a better marine park among the other Gili as evidenced from every snorkelling trip always destined to Gili Air.

This island has a colourful fish location for guests who snorkelling can do fish feeding or fish feeding by being fed by the visitors.

At present this island has begun to improve itself by leaving the old egos to have begun a lot of physical construction in the form of accommodation accommodation buildings and hotels and restaurants.

Typical this iland is very similar to Gili Trawangan which is surrounded by white sand and there are also some black sand.

On the north side of the island only distinguishes there are no hills like Gili Trawangan, on the western side of the island of Gili Air the sun sinks behind the Gili Trawangan hills while on Gili Trawangan the sun sets behind Mount Agung in Bali.

Health facilities have also been seen by several private clinics as well as a number of young doctors who are on standby to help with treatment for the surrounding community and for foreign tourists who happen to need medical assistance.

For the cost of care and treatment is more expensive than in clinics in the city of Mataram because to build a building or rent a practice location is also very expensive, understand that living on the island everything must be brought by boat transport and so forth.

More or less the atmosphere on island is almost the same as on Gili Trawangan also on Gili Meno, the atmosphere of the coast is the same as white sand, roads also have hotel buildings for the inside and the beach side there is a restaurant that directly faces the beach.

Since March 2017 all buildings on the beach have to be demolished because it is very disturbing in terms of aesthetics because the beach land becomes privately owned land or becomes land owned by the restaurant because every tourist sitting on the beach feels uncomfortable and uncomfortable even the restaurant waiter will come over to offer a menu food and Drink.

Where to Get Joint Night Party in Gili Trawangan

The party on Gili Trawangan has been organised for a long time and got permission from the head of the Gili Trawangan hamlet. As for the party on Gili Trawangan, there are various versions that are regular in rotation between several pubs such as Tir na noq bar and restaurants, Rudy’s Pub, Blue Marlin Dive, and the same Reggae Bar and D Harbour.

It seems like waiting too long for an event like this is agreed again to make a Dark Moon party by teenagers with the concept of lighting a campfire and being matched with fire game attractions and lately popular there is now another yacht party held above the Dragoon yacht which began from 02.00 pm to 06.30 pm, the schedule is every Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, coordinated by young German men who are deliberately hired by these Italians.

party TrawanganIt is said that the owner named Sergio works as an architect in the Middle East and is filled with Javanese locals who live in Bali and design their own forms of Dragoon yacht but between them there seems to be a dispute until the organizer who is commanded by German Caucasians escapes from Dragoon management and share again with the new yacht owned by Samba Cafe which is smaller in size in the form of a catamaran and more dominates in getting visitors because they are more in control of the internet media and get recommendations from “Trip Adviser”

The fate of Dragoon has now been eliminated, although it needs to be recognized that its form of construction is better when compared to Samba Cafe’s. Dragoon can only rely on guest bookings from the website that only once and more often go back and forth to Bali to receive chartered guests, but for those who interested to hire a Dragoon yacht sail party can also contact me for the purposes of a wedding, birthday, photo shoot or other.

My advice :

To ensure that you can do a Sea walker on Gili Trawangan, it is better to reserve a long day before a Marine Walk trip because the limitations of the equipment and the place to do this trip is different from booking a Snorkeling trip that can be run with thousands of participants at a time.

Marine Walk Trips require procedures and trips can only be carried out every 2 participants and can be analyzed only a few people who can participate in one day because based on experience especially in the visiting season it is very difficult to be able to participate in Marine Walk trips even though you are ready to pay more again because the commitment of Marin Walk Gili Trawangan prioritizes prior reservations.
