Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect the Sasak Culture

The Gili Islands are part of Lombok, home to the Muslim Sasak people. Dress modestly when away from the beach — cover shoulders and knees in villages. Be aware of prayer times and keep noise levels respectful.

Protect Marine Life

Do not touch, stand on, or break coral. Never touch, ride, or chase sea turtles — it is illegal and causes them serious stress. Use reef-safe sunscreen only. The Gili Islands are a marine protected area and enforcement is increasing.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Gili Islands travel guide.
