Frequently asked questions

To go to Gili Trawangan, you can go through Bali or Lombok. If you depart from Bali, then you can take a fast boat from Padangbai Harbor for a 1.5 hour journey and will immediately get off at Gili Trawangan. If you want to travel cheaply, then you can take a ferry from Padangbai Harbor to Lembar Harbor on Lombok Island for 4 hours where to go to Gili Trawangan, you have to go to Bangsal Harbor first.

The second way is via Lombok Island where you can use the air route and enter via Lombok International Airport. From the airport, you have to travel to Bangsal Harbor or Nara Bay. You can also go to Senggigi using a fast boat from Bali.

Most tourists actually prefer to travel through Nara Bay. The reason is, the car park to the speedboat area is very close. Meanwhile, from Bangsal Harbor, you have to walk first or use cidomo to get to the pier.

Well, from Nara Bay, you can rent a speedboat with varying prices (based on the minimum number of passengers). Actually the easier way is to use a tour package for Gili Island trips because later you will get a transportation service so you don’t have to be confused about how to get to Gili Trawangan island. Usually, hotels or inns on the island can also facilitate visitor pick-up and transportation services to get to Gili Trawangan.

If we talk about Gili Island, of course, the beaches on Gili Trawangan you shouldn’t miss. Enjoy the clean white sand and clear sea water while sitting in the beachfront huts or swimming. To be able to enjoy the beautiful sunset and sunrise, it is recommended that you take a vacation there during the dry season. When swimming on Gili Trawangan, you also have to make sure that you do not swim on the border between Gili Trawangan and other Gili Islands because the water currents on the border of the Gili islands are quite dangerous.

You should also try diving and snorkeling while on Gili Trawangan. The reason is, the marine life on this island is indeed very diverse and different from the sea views on other islands, so you shouldn’t miss this experience. You can rent a boat yourself or join other visitors which are usually provided if you use Gili Island tour packages.

Of course the cost of renting a boat itself will be more expensive when compared to renting a boat in groups. Well, if you are already proficient in diving and snorkeling or already have a license, then you can join a diving center on the island. However, if you are a beginner or it’s your first time diving or snorkeling, you can join a short two-hour diving training. There, you will also receive theoretical and practical directions on the same day.

You can also watch Stick Fighting or Presean shows. It is a traditional ritual of the Sasak Tribe which is the original tribe of the island of Lombok. There is a procession where there are two men who fight using rattan sticks and are equipped with buffalo skin shields. The event is held to ask for rain and is always held at Gili Trawangan Art Market during the seventh month of the local calendar.

In addition, you can also visit the turtle hatchery. The turtles are indeed hatched in captivity and will then be released in the sea off Gili Trawangan. The procession of releasing the baby turtles also uses certain rituals which are certainly very interesting to watch.

You can also feel the experience of watching them together on the beach. There is a free widescreen that you can enjoy watching certain movies that are playing there. You can buy food and drinks there and enjoy the experience of watching together with other visitors.

You can pre-book your dive trip or dive course program. We will ask all participants to come in person to the dive center the day before as soon as possible to confirm their booking. We will fill the forms and size you up to prepare in advance your equipment, and we will explain to you the program of the next day. We will give you also all the teaching material you need → Book now

 Verified Awesome dive company on Gili T - Treat yourself!
As a person recently returning to diving I was looking for a professional, friendly and chilled operator to do some dives on Gili T. Trawangan Stingray Divers (TSD) certainly met and exceeded my expectations and were happy to customise dives to suit my needs. Started with two dives on day one and was so impressed that I came back the next morning for two more dives. Great variety of dive sites within minutes of Gili T by boat. All diving gear was included as well as catered lunch post-dive. Photography package was readily available and a special shout out to Andressa for her awesome underwater photography and videos skills, the photos and footage were amazing! Can’t recommend TSD enough and will visit again when next in Gili T.

Spicy ! Best dive center on the island. A little bit laid back, away from center hassle, comparably small, but very friendly dive center. Large pool and resting area, with very good equipment storage. Equipment is in very good condition, they have not only BCDs, but also wings. With very personal touch, they accommodate to any customer wish, organising trips to best dive spots around Gilis. Always smiling, joking and having friendly chats

 Verified “Give me some fin…dudeee” #spicy
We took a fun dive with this dive shop and overall it was a great experience. We went out to Bounty Wreck and Aziz was our instructor/guide. He was full of energy and great fun to be with. We got onto the boat just outside of their shop (walked to it from the shore) and they were blasting music to/from the dive site and taking pictures. They also threw in use of their go pro for IDR 100k and it was appreciated. Although, it did run out of battery part way through the dive!One downside is that they didn’t fully check the equipment pre dive as one of our tanks didn’t have the air turned on. Of course its a joint responsibility to check equipment when you’re an experienced diver, but its something that was a little unnerving before jumping in.The dive itself was great, we hung out with the giant turtles (no joke, they were just lying there and we were right next to them) and after the dive they provided some lunch as well.Overall a great experience and would recommend diving with this crew.

 Verified Standout activity and people! The best thing I did on Gilli
I was recommended this place and would highly recommend it to others. The staff - Ahmed, Shaker and Azis were awesome. As a solo traveler and first time diver, I was really nervous but the teams passion and knowledge made me feel at ease. They invited me along for a sunset boat ride (which was a highlight) where I got to enjoy the views and water whilst some of the others did a night dive. I felt really comfortable with the crew and they were a good laugh. Azis playing his guitar was a bonus! I did the Discovery Dive the next morning, saw turtles and sharks and loved it so much that I ended up doing another dive that afternoon. The diving centre is on the quieter side of the island which also made the entire experience much more enjoyable! An absolute must do if you visit Gili.

 Verified Two words: Amazing People
Come here!! Amazing experience with a fun, professional and really laid back crew. Everyone from this diving center is here to make the experience as good as possible, starting from diver master Ahmed to all the local people with a permanent smile, they adapt easily to our schedule, have the best most recent gear. I went in 3 dives with another diver and everything was tailored to what we wanted to see. Contrary to other large diving centers where large groups are ferried together in big boats to diving spots, here it was the amazing Ahmed, a crew of 2 helpers, and me plus the second diver on a fast dinghy. The diving is from another planet, crystal clear water, it’s like diving inside an aquarium with all the fish we can imagine, turtles everywhere, even white tip reef sharks. One word: Amazing!

 Verified Cannot recommend enough! 10/10 🌞
We couldn’t recommend Trawangan Stingray Diving strongly enough. Although we arranged to go diving very last minute and were slightly apprehensive as we hadn’t been diving in while, this was by far the best diving set up we’ve experienced. We were made to feel so comfortable, the equipment and boat were very modern, and Ahmed was the perfect instructor. All in all, it was an absolutely incredible diving experience! 10/10 🤿🐡🐢🐙🐠

  We waren er eind oktober/begin november, waardoor de drukte van het hoogseizoen er niet was. Hele aardige en lokale mensen. Hebben ons naast het duiken ook tips gegeven over leuke tentjes op het eiland en de gili eilandjes ernaast.
Vanwege wat persoonlijke issues eerst even een hele korte duik in het bad gedaan om te checken of het goed ging. Dat was fijn voor mij als voor hen om zo vertrouwd het water in te gaan.
Voor elke duik, kregen we duidelijke instructies over de duik route en waar we op moesten letten. Equipment werd klaargezet en voor je naar de boot gebracht.
Mijn vriend en ik zouden enkel 2 duiken doen, na de eerste besloten dit om te zetten naar een padi advanced course voor mij (mijn vriend had hem al). Dat was een goede ervaring.
Zeker aan te raden!

  직원들 친절해요! 혼자 방문하면 귀찮아 하는 느낌 주는 샵들도 있는데 여기는 브리핑부터 로그 기록까지 귀찮은 내색 없이 잘 도와줘서 재밌게 다이빙 했습니다.
중심지에서 좀 벗어나 있어서 산만하지 않고, 바로 앞이 거북이 포인트여서 다이빙 끝나고 스노클링도 잘 했어요! 완전 강추하는 샵 입니다~!

  Awesome team. Yoseph and Aziz are the best. Definitely ask for one of them. Not only good divers / guides they are great fun on the boat and back at the dive shop. Denise was also a very good guide. Affordable diving, great dive sites which they are flexible on also. We were a group of 4 with varying qualification levels and they did a great job catering to us.
