On the way back there happen boat delays, so for your comfort please make sure to have a hat and to stay in the shadow as not to get too much sun.

Attention

• due to the heavy workload of the hotel, especially in the high tourist season, an early check out at 10:30 am is possible from the Manta Dive Gili Trawangan Resort;
• unfortunately, because of the competition between the transport companies, the local taxi drivers may try to take your return transfer coupon from you and suggest you pay one of them to drive you back. Please do not interact with them as your transfer has already been paid for and all you need is reach the parking spot of Eka Jaya company.
• a return transfer is always more complicated one to arrange, please be patient and wait till all of the tourists board the shuttle. the way back may take up to 4 hours due to heavy traffic and complicated routes to drop-off locations.
• there are no piers on Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno, therefore the boats moor directly on the sandy beach;
• in case of bad weather in the Lombok Strait, in the interest of security the boat company reserves the right to transfer you to the ferry cruising between Gili Island and Bali;
• we do not guarantee a return transfer to your hotel, especially for the areas, where the drop off is possible only at the centre of the area.
