Gili Islands Unfiltered: Gili Trawangan & Gili Meno [1/2]

This week, we set off for the iconic Gili Islands, braving the fast boat crossing with a mix of excitement and nerves before arriving in what many call paradise. Join us as we explore Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, diving into their stunning beaches, vibrant marine life, and unique island vibes.

But are the Gili Indah—literally “beautiful islands”—as perfect as they seem? They’re stunning, no doubt, but we also discovered some surprising challenges the islands are facing, including coral reef damage and environmental issues that we’d never heard about before visiting. In this episode, we explore Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, sharing our honest impressions and real experiences.

If you love travel vlogs about island hopping, snorkeling with turtles, and sustainable tourism, this is for you!

Don’t miss next week’s episode where we explore Gili Air and give a full reflection on life across all three Gili Islands, sharing tips for your Bali and Lombok itinerary in 2025.
