Coconut Garden Resort

Diving the Gili Islands is a year-round activity.  There are many reputable dive centers based on Gili Trawangan. Look out for those that are members of GIDA (Gili Islands Dive Association) for the most professional, safe and experienced services.

Our recommendations:

Stud Horse Riding and Rescue STUD was established in 2004.  They are more than just a riding stables, providing a permanent home for many rescued horses. The welfare of their horses is their main priority with all proceeds raised going directly towards their care as well as providing clinics for the working ponies on the island.

There are horses to suit all levels of rider including children.  Helmets are provided.  They offer half-hour, one-hour rides and full island tours for experienced riders.  You can even enjoy taking their rescue ponies for a swim in the sea.

For the welfare of the horses, the weight limit for riding is 75kg.

If you want to see turtles and more, but you don’t fancy diving, there are daily glass bottom boat tours around the Gilis. If you would like to avoid the crowds we can help you charter your own private boat to suite your own schedule.

Coconut Garden guests receive a special offer for a private boat to go snorkeling and tour around the three Gili islands! Please ask our staff to arrange a booking for you.​

Whether you are an early bird and awake to see the fabulous sunrise behind Mount Rinjani on Lombok, or prefer to watch the sunset behind Mount Agung in Bali, you will not be disappointed. We’ve really struggled to chose our favourite photo!

Not for the faint hearted! This is a demanding 2-4 day trek climbing the second highest volcano (3,726 meters) in Indonesia. Once at the summit climbers are rewarded with some of the most amazing views of the volcano and crater lake. On a clear day you can see all the way to the Gili Islands and beyond. One piece of advice, make sure you have a sturdy pair of shoes and several layers of warm clothing as the summit can be very cold!

There are several tour operators organizing schedules to suit all levels of experience but if you need any advice please contact us or ask the staff at Coconut Garden. 

Learn how to make traditional Indonesian dishes using fresh, local produce. With a variety of menus suitable for all budgets, this is a wonderful way to spend an evening.

Single and double kayaks and paddle boards are available for rent hourly or daily from Island Guide at the main beach. It is possible to paddle across to Gili Meno, although we recommend asking for information about currents, as they can be quite strong around the island. Lessons are also available.
