You will then arrive at the harbour in Gili Trawangan which is just a short 5 minute stroll from Trawangan Dive. You can expect the trip to take around 4 hours door to door.Our closest airport is Lombok Praya which has daily flights from Bali and all other major domestic airports.

For those of you with plenty of time on your hands, the slow boat from Padang Bai operates daily. Expect a bit of an adventure with this option, and usually the long wait for connecting transfers means that it will take you almost an entire day to get here, but it's a wonderful way to site see.
