Visit Gili Air during the dry season, from June to September, for the best diving conditions.
Getting there
Planes
Fly into Lombok International Airport; from here Bangsal Port is a 90-minute drive away, where you can catch the 15-minute ferry to Gili Air.
Automobiles
There are no cars on any of the Gili Islands; instead, swap four wheels for two and hire bikes to cycle explore the island. Or, you can travel like a local in a cidomo, a traditional horse and cart.
