DON'T DO THIS in the Gili Islands (7 things to avoid)

I love my country❤
Thanks u for visiting one of our beautiful island.

i was in Gili Air in ‘93. cash only. no shops. just grass huts and beach. one satalight phone. that’s pretty much all i remember. quiet. absolutely no rolly suitcases lol. thanks for the video

how did you travel through these islands? apart from the snorkeling trip. i booked a stay in gili t and wanted to stay in gili air as well, but don't know how to get there from gili t

We' re going Gili Air 02/03 2024,thank you very much hopefuly provide us get a nightmare too,we' ve been Bali/ Gili Travangan 1991 and coming back next year and of course a lot of things have changed 😅Antje and Uwe from Germany,Tschüss

Good advice - we had similar issues end of last year! Would also mention that ferries drop off and pick up from beaches sometimes, not just jetties, so make sure you are physically up to climbing a ladder off the back of a ferry in the swell...we almost had to leave my 70+ year old mother-in-law behind...

Jeeze, wheres the nightmare? Thats a mere normal travel occurance.

Awe dear

Your tips will be very helpful. Really appreciate it..

People should practice snorkeling before trying it on a vacation like this. If you don't know what you are doing, it's just too easy to take in a lungful of water when you think your snorkel is clear. A good friend, who was inexperienced and probably hadn't snorkeled before, drowned while snorkeling with a group in the Red Sea at Sharm El Sheik, Egypt. She was only 42 years old.

Heh :) A bit novice mistakes, but thats how you learn! Glad you had a nice trip!

Good To know gili island got Back In shape!

Boat rides to Bali are long and you don't wanna go when it's very choppy and not fun if not a seasoned sailor, a flight from Lombok to Depansar is a good option

LABUAN BAJO....KOMODO ISLAND

I go to Indonesia every year and every time I take off from Montreal I switch to "insha allah mode" ... shit always happen and every year it at a different place (lost luggage, credit card not working, cancelled transports, shitty hotel,medical issues ...) ... I just roll with punches and enjoy life at a slower pace.

First world problems WOW 🤷

Gili T is haunted. The island was used as a Japanese POW camp during WW2 and the souls of executed prisoners roam the interior of the island.

The Gili fast boats are a bit hit and miss. I only use Blue Water Express. They are a little more expensive but they are very reliable.

👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😀💪🤓😍😘🤩

OMG, this is so insane, OMG

What month was this, Crosby? (I'm thinking of going to Bali in September, a warm and dry but less crowded month).

Hey blondie. Your videos were way bester in Mexico. Keep up the good work.

💕💕

Travel adversity comes with the fun. Many can't hack it and some have a friend like you that will take a bullet for them.

Welcome to Indonesia. Rule number 1 as a "bule" always be prepared for the unexpected in Indo. Lived in Indo as an EXPAT kid for 10 years back in the 90s. I love INDO for the very fact that it's just a crazy ass shit show of a country. This is not the "west" LOL...throw your plans out the window and just live....miss the good ol days of travelling to Gili when you and your friends were the only ones on the island lol...gone are those days...

Wow

Usually during june - september, Eastern part of the country like bali, lombok, flores weathers were impacted by southern wind from australia.. still hot & sunny but sudden wind & rain may follow.. the rain is fine but the wind is stronger than the rain season, and may be colder during night especialy if u live around Nusa Dua (south of bali) area due to australia's winter season

Thanks for coming to INDONESIAN ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇮🇩🙏👍✌️

In Java island too 😂😂 , but I also wonder how in Bali and Nusa Tenggara would like in this chaotic weather during that time, also hoping that all foreigners in there (including you Crosby) can rush the weather that time.. 😅😅

Adventure is always unpredictable

Oh we had the same three days ago, we went from Gili t to lombok, it was a bit scary but we made it to Lombok. We flew back to Bali because we didn’t want to risk a boat journey again😅

I am so pround of you for your video in my country....

Safety 1st keep up the great work 😊

I'm so glad your friend was able to get a flight out of the area despite all the craziness with the weather! Thanks for sharing this helpful advice! I will keep this in mind when I decide to make a trip there someday!

Great tips, thk u!

"Oh my goodness" "Safety first" Aww, I feel for the horses 🐴 The weather put a hold on thing for all. The things we learn along the way. You will make it to your next destination, keep positive ❤ Thanks for sharing 👍

Thank you for mentioning the horses 🐴. This is so important. 😢

8. Don't act too liberal. Respect the culture and the religions. It's Indonesia, not Europe, If Bali, where Hindus are the majority, hates it, surely, it's hated in Gili, It's an Islamic island.

The "making the flight" thing isnt an gili island problem, but any island problem maby just a big higher chance for the gilis as lombok/bali is seperated by the Wallace line, famous for its deep waters and harsh current and waves; a small storm aint a joke, ive been on ferry's before there with a 40% puke-rate 😂 grown men literally crying😂

That's quite usual that sometimes in july or august there are very strong storms between Bali and Lombok and the boats can be cancelled for several days. It does not happen every year but I remember several years with this situation. In july and august is not a rainy, it is a stormy season. The cancellations usually happen exactly in july - august.

Great tips for any travel. Love your videos. I'm a huge fan.

Good info Crosby...even with the bumps on departure it sounds like you both had a great time. Looking forward to more adventures....!

Thanks bringing up the horse car
poor horse

it happened also in ferry port in Ketapang - Gilimanuk. Traffic held for 24 hours, which usually just only take few minutes aboard into a ferry and 40 minutes across strait. Could have been worse, I rode motorcycle, get into ferry from Gilimanuk to Ketapang but the ferry could not docked in to the Ketapang port due to bad weather. Port authority didn't gave permission docked ferries to embark. So my boat have to wait on the strait in rough weather.
