Walking and Hiking Trails

Embark on a scenic hike behind the lodges and past the Yoga Shala to reach the hilltops of Gili Asahan, where breathtaking 360-degree views of the bay and neighboring islands await. This short hike takes just around 15 minutes and is particularly recommended during sunrise and sunset for a magical experience.

For a more extensive exploration, consider taking a circumferential walk around the island during low tide. This leisurely stroll takes approximately 1 hour, covering a distance of about 4.2 km. Along the way, you’ll traverse the village, an abandoned pearlfarm, and peaceful beaches, often encountering only goats and cows. This serene walk is especially enchanting just before sunset, provided the tide permits.

ON THE WATER

Kayaking

There are 3 single kayaks and one traditional outrigger canoe available for you to explore the surroundings by sea.
