Surfing Trips
Desert Point & Bangko Bangko*
Difficult to get to for most, and sought out by the world’s surfing fanatics, these breaks are on our doorstep. Renowned for the150-300m long ride, good swells and long hollow waves that end in a barrel, we suggest the keen surfers bring their boards, or rent them from the resort, and give them a try
* Voted “The Best Wave in World”
“This classic wave is long, hollow and always barreling. It needs a big south east to south west swell to start working, the bigger the swell the better the wave gets. Want to get barrelled - go ride desert point”

Rinjani
Island Hopping
Choose from half or full-day excursions to explore the small unspoiled islands around Gili Gede. These expeditions can include a picnic, snorkelling or simply a relaxing afternoon on a secluded beach.
Fishing Trips
Bottom fishing as well as deep sea and trolling
The Strait between Bali and Lombok is replete with fish, which the local traditional fishermen fish using simple fishing tackle with a small outrigger (traditionally a wooden boat - Prahu or Sampan - with a triangular sail) and you can certainly choose to try this option to more absorb local customs.
However we can, as a modern variation on the theme, arrange your fishing trip on our private charter boat, with our knowledgeable boat-boys choosing from an enormous array of great fishing spots in order to guarantee your catch.
Renowned fishing spots include: The south west point of Lombok, towards Bangko-bangko (Desert Point); opposite Nusa Penida (Bali) which is recommended as one of the best for trolling and deep fishing; North West of Lombok, close to the Gili Islands (Trawangan, Meno, Air) which is a spot known by the locals as takat (sea wall) and is great for both trolling and deep fishing.
Being an island on the Java trench, with the “drop off ” only kilometers from the beach, makes this region a prime location for fishing. Large schools of fish feed and breed around the unspoiled reefs and, during different times at the year depending on the season, commonly caught fish include: Giant Trevally, Trevally, Spanish Mackerel, Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, many Snapper varieties and Coral Trout to name the main vartieties If you’re lucky on your trip you’ll see Manta Rays, Flying fish, Whales and Dolphins – not rare sights, depending on the season and conditions.

Ko-ko-mo Gili Gede Resort
There is a strong demand for the ‘old’ Bali or Gili Trawangan of yesteryear, as both islands, keeping up with tourist demand, have expanded – with an over-abundance of cosmopolitan developments to meet tourist requirements
These same tourists are now on the hunt for the ‘unspoiled’ yet still require a sense of stylish sophistication. In short, an island paradise that allows them to escape the stressed infrastructure evident in Bali, yet a destination where they can enjoy an elegant space of comfort and tranquillity, complemented by a broad range of facilities and activities
Situated off the southernmost tip of Lombok, ko-ko-mo Gili Gede, a serene and chic resort, overlooks the sparkling aqua seas of the Indian Ocean. The beachfront location of the resort, set on a white sand stretch of beach in a natural cove, provides a stunningly sheltered setting with an outlook over the many beautiful small islands and atolls that dot the ocean off the shores of Gili Gede
