Entry Requirements Note
Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival (extendable once) or apply for an e-visa in advance. Requirements and fees vary by nationality and can change, so always confirm current rules before booking. Note that Bali's tourist levy does not apply here, since Gili Trawangan is part of West Nusa Tenggara province, not Bali.
Best Time to Visit
The dry season, April through October, is generally best for both weather and diving visibility. The wet season, November through March, brings more rain but fewer crowds.
