Horse Riding Trip on Gili Trawangan

The horse meant here is riding a horse without being spurred only walking around Gili Trawangan through the coast which is guided by a Guide, besides that the horse rider is also equipped with shoe tools and saddles which are priced at IDR 400,000 / hour.

The type of horse that is used is not just any horse, this horse has a large posture as you often see used for horse racing competitions in Europe, this activity is really considered very prestigious because the rent is very expensive.

Another case for certain purposes such as for shooting or taking a photographic image or for a film may be the rental price may not need to be taken into account.

In Gili Trawangan, you can find rental places for horse rentals that are located around the sunset point where you easily see the horse silhouette symbol that reads STUD, which is included with the telephone number.

To get to a horse rental rental from the public port on Gili Trawangan to the south you have to walk about 1.5 km or take a cidomo for about IDR 50,000

Or you can also come to the place by using a rented bicycle and you can park at a horse rental place because this trip will end at the same location. Alternatively, you can call the WA number on this website, ask to be delivered to your hotel or to the port (speed boat dock).

Riding on Gili Trawangan is not too regular, maybe because the rent is too expensive or people may be afraid to ride a horse because it can be imagined if the rider falls from a horse whose height is between 160 cm – 170 cm.

Then a fatal accident can occur, but as I observed during the horse riding activity, I never saw a horse suddenly rampaging until it dropped its rider because the horse was only riding and walking around the island of Gili Trawangan.

Around the island of Gili Trawangan only 8 km even if it is considered not accustomed to riding a guide horse will walk dragging the horse on foot while the rider is like a very special person with arrogant walking in the crowd of people who are walking on the seashore on Gili Trawangan.

To be sure this is very exciting to walk along the shores of Gili Trawangan beach, explore the coast of Gili Trawangan while recognizing the location or location of the hotels located on the coast of Gili Trawangan while observing the shape of its construction too right?

Sea Fishing Trip Around Lombok Island

Fishing trip in general, people are familiar with fishing activities in the sea and on land (lakes, rivers and ponds) with simple tools or with more modern tools with the aim of earning a living and all the fish they catch are brought to the fish market or to the market – traditional markets in other words commercialized, but there are for some people fishing is a means of entertainment to be able to forget all the affairs of work whether in the office, factory or home industry work.

There are certain people who have a large income or in other words people who have excess money who are certainly fishing hobbies they form a fishing community with the aim of being able to gather or be able to share to discuss this hobby by holding a meeting to discuss their purpose of going fishing until from here can entered into an agreement to share rent a motorboat or boat with a route that has been determined in the discussion and fishing together.

Fishing Trip in Gili Trawangan

To buy happy sometimes is not comparable with the fish that will be obtained, as well as fishing on Gili Trawangan for hotel guests who happen to be hobby or like fishing they will dare to pay dearly even though in the end they only get one small fish, not even getting fish at all. There are two preferred fishing methods on Gili Trawangan namely fishing by means of trolling fishing, bottom fishing and spear fishing

Trolling Fishing

Trolling Fishing means fishing by using a plastic bait that resembles a fish by slowly being pulled by a boat to trick big fish as if the artificial plastic is a fish that is roaming, usually fishing in this way targets big fish such as: Barracuda, Mahi-mahi, Marlin, Tuna and others. It is common in Gili Trawangan some tourists get catches with a very large size for the thigh of an adult.

In Gili Trawangan this trip is sold for 3 hours including boat and fishing equipment and Rapala (plastic that resembles fish) the price is quite expensive compared to the fish you will get which is IDR 2,000,000 including trolling fishing equipment and guide guides who are used to fishing with a trolling system for people who do not like fishing will definitely count hard with costs that will be issued also in case of fish if not ready ready to be disappointed.

Because fishing with the trolling system is really pitting luck because there are certain seasons the fish hordes that we are looking for are in the zone of our boat trajectory but I have seen people get 4 barracudas two of them are very large with a length of about 1.5m which is certain travelers who look a little arabic face is very proud to lift the fish – the results of the bait and pose to take pictures after that the fish is yours it’s up to you whether you will burn it later together with friends next room where you stay or even you can sell it in restaurants on Gili Trawangan.

Bottom Fishing

Bottom fishing means that as we usually see people carry fishing rods and bait and then stop in a place that is considered a lot of fish and release the bait in a boat engine condition is not alive.

There is also a bait that is used which is raw fresh fish cut into pieces transported to the hook and then thrown to the water usually the fish that will be obtained are not like fishing with the trolling system because the target of bottom fishing is basic fish such as Snapper, gropper, grouper and others whose size is less more around the palm of the hand and the price of this trip is offered Rp 1,500,000 with a duration of 3 hours wow honestly if I myself do not like fishing seems very expensive.

Fishing trips are not too popular on Gili Trawangan only for certain people who really like fishing but for those of you who really like fishing but want cheap prices I suggest not organizing on Gili Trawangan, Meno and Air because of the location in this tourist area there are no Gilis who want to make money by fishing and then sell it to the market in the past.

The arrival of tourists has changed the pattern of how to make money Gili people you can rent a boat across or on the edge (Teluk Nara or Teluk Kodek) many boats can be rented at much cheaper prices and you can fish in the same place around not far from 3 Gili

Fishing Tours In Sekotong Area Only IDR 2.000.000

FACILITIES:

Fishing trip (jigging)
Coffee break
Local guide
Fishing Boat
8 hour max trip
Maximal 4 participants
Tools and metal jigs not included

Spear Fishing

This method certainly requires expertise in terms of diving, especially breathing resistance when chasing fish as a target to be shot because people who do this activity only use snorkeling equipment, wet suits and arrows.

To be sure this activity must be supported by a boat or similar ship because the spot for archery is not haphazard, but for this activity if it is carried out around the area of 3 Gili, the location is very limited, therefore this trip should be organized to other places, far from the island Gili

spear gears — Fish arrow Jabut production

Why is that? Because the location of 3 Gili has been claimed as a marine tourism destination that is not permitted to exploit fishing, what if you break it then get ready to deal with coast guards on Gili Trawangan.

The rules in spear fishing are also not arbitrary because spear fishing in Lombok has a fairly solid community, they have determined which fish should not be caught or which types of fish should be caught.

Generally, spear fishing enthusiasts consist of teenagers or young people who are physically capable of swimming, this activity is dominated by archers who give their group the name “Jabut spear fishing.”

Later if anyone is interested can contact me and Mr. Spear Fishing master. Jabut will guide you, in addition to that he also produces his own arrows which have been ordered in large numbers to the islands of Bali and even very in demand to be ordered by archery lovers in Lombok.

The Glory Of Lombok South Sea Pearls

Lombok Pearls

South sea pearl lovers will surely know more about pearls, which surely know about the quality of pearls and know the term South Sea Pearl.

“Where. This term is global. For fans and pearl collectors. As far as my knowledge of pearls.

Lombok South Sea Pearls

“Where, pearls are cultivated throughout the world, but the quality of the” South Sea Pearl “is very superior quality.

The term “South Sea Pearl. Lombok is included in this category, but that does not mean that all pearls sold in Lombok are cultivated from pearl farms on the coast of Lombok.

It could be Chinese products imported from China and very many types of freshwater pearls, which are not classy pearls.

If pearls are your choice for souvenirs, then this can be a reference if you want to buy pearls in Lombok.

“Of course you have to be careful. As much as possible, invite friends or relatives who understand pearls.

Because pearls generally consist of 2 types, namely freshwater pearls and sea water pearls. Which means, the quality is very much different.

Of course those who can explain it in detail are experts in the field of pearls. As far as I know, freshwater pearls have several pearls in the shell.

Up to dozens of items, while sea water pearls have only one pearl in the shell.

Physically it is far more beautiful and of course the price will be far more expensive, the type of sea water pearls.

As for the other types of pearls that I mentioned above are the types of Tear pearls, where each buyer will be able to release tears.

After finding out that what he bought was plastic pearls or fake pearls.

For that you have to be careful. Even if the seller tests it by burning it in front of you, if it is burned with a match, the tear pearl will not melt for a short time.

But if it burns longer, then you will be able to see what will happen to the object.

This type of pearl can be found in traders of hawkers. If seen from the price, you can get it for IDR 20,000 / item, while if in the gallery it can be worth millions with the same size.

Ummi Pearl collection — Ummi Pearl pearl shop collection

Then where is the place to buy pearls in Lombok? The location is very convenient, even when you travel on Lombok later the pearl traders will continue to follow you on your bus or car.

If they know you are tourists, and continue to follow where you will stop. They use motorbikes and some even use cars.

There are also those who are waiting for you at each tourist attraction, such as in the Malacca hills, Malimbu beach, in the hotel lobby, even in front of souvenir shops.

It’s a bit annoying and unethical, but that’s the reality, later, if you’re not interested in buying, don’t try to bid because it will continue to be pursued.

It’s good to say sorry, thank you, but if you are interested, it’s okay or not, that means you have given small-scale livelihoods for the community, the price is cheap, but most of what they sell is freshwater pearls or pearls.

Where to Buy South Sea Pearls

As for other places, if you want to buy pearl in Lombok you can visit the Sekarbela village, here pearl shops are very much lined up on the main road.

But it must be careful too, if the pearl has been tied with gold, because the famous Sekarbela gold is not of good quality.

You have to ask how many carats the value of the gold, in other places in the village of Pagutan, Karang Genteng is also the same, pearl jewelry shops lined the main road.

While in other places there are also many scattered, especially in cross-tourism routes, such as Sudirman Pearl, Ummi Pearl, Your Gem & Pearl, Pearl Flower Gallery.

On the Senggigi Mataram highway. Elsewhere there are Lia Pearl, Rafi Pearl and Lipco Jewelry on the Adisucipto Ampenan street.

In other places there is also the Lombok Pearl in Bangsal sub-district, Winner of North Lombok and on Ahmad Yani street.

There is an Outore Lombok in Nara bay, directly at the breeding location. Here I have seen 1 pearl worth IDR 2,000,000 / item.

So the point is to know a lot about pearls before buying it.

The shape of the shape later you can see for yourself at the location, according to taste and needs.
