Exploring the crystal clear waters, swimming through schools of colourful fish and hanging out with turtles, is certainly one of the best ways to spend your time. But what about those surface intervals? Or perhaps your loved ones or travel buddies are not interested in wiggling into a wetsuit and breathing compressed air. Fortunately, Gili Air has lots of other great activities to indulge in during your stay.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Explore<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Circumnavigate the Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2121\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2121 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-1.jpg?resize=810%2C450&quality=89&ssl=1\" alt=\"Fields of palm trees on Gili Air\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-1.jpg?w=810&quality=89&ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-1.jpg?resize=300%2C167&quality=89&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-1.jpg?resize=768%2C427&quality=89&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-1.jpg?resize=800%2C444&quality=89&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/3-1.jpg?resize=200%2C111&quality=89&ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palm trees as far as the eye can see on Gili Air<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Either on foot or by bike, you can easily circle the island in under 2 hours.

A word of advice, go either in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Island Hopping<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2128\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2128\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2128 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10.jpg?resize=810%2C450&quality=89&ssl=1\" alt=\"Gili Meno beach\" width=\"810\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10.jpg?w=810&quality=89&ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10.jpg?resize=300%2C167&quality=89&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10.jpg?resize=768%2C427&quality=89&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10.jpg?resize=800%2C444&quality=89&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oceans5dive.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/10.jpg?resize=200%2C111&quality=89&ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Visiting the beaches on Gili Meno<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Gili Air is, of course, our favourite island but if you have a spare day it would be a shame to not take a trip to one of the other two nearby islands. Gili Trawangan offers an unrivalled party atmosphere and an array of shopping opportunities, while Gili Meno provides quiet seclusion on pristine beaches with a back to basics atmosphere.\u00a0 Public boats hop between the islands in the morning and afternoon and fast boat service every hour makes it easy to take a day trip. The Harbour offices sell tickets and provide the most up to date timetable. Alternatively, you can charter a boat if you are a small group.

Indonesian food is full of rich and exciting flavours and Gili Air is not short of places to try the local dishes.\u00a0 However, if you have a few hours spare you can take it a step further and learn how to create your favourites. Just next to Oceans5 Dive awaits Gili Cooking School which offers a variety of classes to suit different tastes and budgets, run by Indonesian chefs. Alternatively, in the north of the island, Warung Sunny provides a back to basics home-style cooking class. Our favourite part of the class is the feast at the end!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Outdoor Cinema <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is nothing quite like reclining on a big, comfy bean bag with your toes in the sand while watching a film on the big screen.

Too young to dive? Medical conditions preventing you? Or perhaps scuba diving really isn\u2019t for you, then snorkelling is a great alternative to experience the waters around Gili Air. Our favourite spot is on the east coast where it\u2019s common to spot a turtle or two where the reef slopes off. We recommend snorkelling at high tides otherwise it\u2019s quite tricky to get out to a depth where you can swim. This area of the world is known to resemble scuba diving spots in Indonesia, sites like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneweirdglobe.com\/best-day-trips-from-ubud-indonesia\/\">www.oneweirdglobe.com\/best-day-trips-from-ubud-indonesia\/<\/a> have a great number of photo galleries where you can see that first hand.
