Snorkeling & Glass Bottom Boat
You don’t have to dive to see the colourful array of underwater life. You can snorkel atop the crystal blue sea & meet the Sea Turtles too! Masks & flippers can be hired from a few places around the island. If you don’t want to get wet, hire a glass bottom boat and sit back with the little ones.

Surfing
Join the locals on the break SW off the island and surf. Although the waves are nowhere near as large as in Kuta Lombok, they can still be surfed at some times of the year.

Beach Parties
Gili Trawangan is the “party island’ & Gili Air is the “laid back neighbour” …. but there are still beach parties, bars with DI’s & live music venues. The trunks of the palm trees act as billboards, as flyers are posted on them, so keep a look out to find out whats happening on the island!

Lombok Trips
Trips to the much larger and very beautiful island of Lombok are available too. The stunning Sendang Gila Waterfall or traditional pottery & basket weaving villages are popular destinations.
Lombok is also home to the second highest volcano in Indonesia, Mount Rinjani and treks to the top can be organised over 2 or 3 days. Stick fighting, music and dance performances are also great attractions.

Swimming
The house is on a reef and so, for half the day, when the tide is out the water is not deep enough to swim in front of the house. Time to exploer the rock pools!
