OCEAN STAR EXPRESS
DESTINATION
THE GILI ISLANDS
TRANSPORTATION ON
THE ISLAND
There are no motorized vehicles on Gili
Trawangan, which is one of the many things that
make it such a tranquil and relaxing island.
CIDOMO/HORSE CARRIAGE
There are several registered horse carts locally
known as cidomo on the island. The cidomo are
very handy for taking you to your hotel or
guesthouse once you arrive, especially if you
have large or heavy luggage, or if you haven't
booked a room yet. The drivers will take you
around and help find accommodation for you. You
can also hire a cidomo to take you around the
island, out to dinner, or just down the road if
the mood takes you! The cidomo tend to be a
favourite with young children, and you can
arrange for the driver to take the 'little ones'
for a ride, while you have a few minutes of
peace to yourself on the beach! If you need a
cidomo early in the morning or after 6 pm, it's
best to make arrangements with one of the
drivers ahead of time.
BICYCLES
There are several bicycle rental places around
the island where you can hire by the hour, half
day or day.
ON FOOT
The island itself is only 8km all around, and as
most of the island's hotels, restaurants, dive
shops and beaches are concentrated along a 2km
strip, everything is very easily accessible on
foot. A walk around the island is a lovely way
to spend the afternoon and if timed properly,
you can catch a stunning sunset over Bali's Mt.
Agung. (Remember to bring a torch with you, as
there is no street lighting to guide you back.)
HORSEBACK RIDING
BaliKana Hotel and Stud are the two 'stables' on
the island. You can arrange to take a horse out
for an hour or more and ride around the island
and along the beach. A guide will either
accompany you on another horse or on foot. Most
of the horses are actually ponies, although
there are one of two larger horses.
