Lombok (Indonesia)

    

You have to fly to Bali first. There are many international flights directly to Bali's airport Ngurah Rai near Denpasar. From here you continue either by local flight to Mataram or by ferry to Lombok (Padangbai to Lembar). Bounty Cruises (Bali) can take you directly from Benoa, Bali to Gili Meno

To the Gili islands: From Lembar Harbour, take a bus to Sweta bus station, choose destination Tanjung, and stop at Pemenang. Get a local transportation called Cidomo (horse cart) to take you to Bangsal Harbour. Coming from the airport, take a taxi directly to Bangsal harbour. Take a boat to the island of your choice, boats leave when full.
