You are taken to thier Beach base for a short 20 minute boat ride ro Gili Air the Gili Meno (WOW) and then a final lunch stop at Gili T which is buzzing with people but sooo much fun.. We recommend a good level of stamina is required for getting up and down the ladder from the boat, though the lads pull you up (not so easy at 60 & 71 yrs..lol) but this trip is truly outstanding. 👌”
