The Gili Islands are at their best between April and October, when the dry season brings calm seas and the clearest snorkelling visibility.
Month by month
- April–June: great weather, not yet crowded.
- July–August: peak season, higher prices.
- September–October: calm water, ideal for diving.
- November–March: rainy season, quieter and cheaper.
Tips
Book accommodation 2–3 weeks ahead during July–August. For a honeymoon, pick September for more privacy.
