BY AIR FROM JAKARTA
There are many daily flights from Jakarta - direct or via
Surabaya - stop over. If you arrive at night, you may need to stay over in
Mataram or Senggigi before crossing over to the Gilis.
During the peak holiday season or even regular low season, major airlines
are fully booked by locals and expats who wish to spend their weekend on
Gilis. If you are outside the country you'll find difficulties to
book and purchase tickets online, therefore since August 2008 we
setup a Branch Office in Kuta Bali

gili islands Lombok Indonesia. Our system is now fully integrated
