Yes! Gili Trawangan is generally very safe for solo travellers, including women. The island is small, easy to navigate, and most people get around by bicycle. Just take the usual precautions at night and stick to the busier paths if you\u2019re heading back late.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Can you walk or cycle around the whole island?<\/h3>You can. Cycling takes around 45\u201360 minutes depending on the tides, and walking takes about two hours (with photo breaks!). Some parts of the path get sandy, so you may need to push your bike for a bit.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Are there ATMs on Gili Trawangan?<\/h3>There are several ATMs on the island, but they occasionally run out of cash, especially on weekends. Bring some spare rupiah just in case.<\/p>\n<\/div>
How reliable is the Wi-Fi on Gili Trawangan?<\/h3>Wi-Fi has improved, but it can still be patchy in some areas. Most caf\u00e9s and hotels have decent enough speeds for basic work or calls, but don\u2019t expect big-city-level connectivity.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Do I need to book accommodation in advance?<\/h3>If you\u2019re travelling in July\u2013August or over Christmas\/New Year, definitely book ahead as the island gets busy. Outside peak season, you\u2019ll usually find something on arrival, but the best-value places fill up fast.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
