Good snorkel - that’s about it. Don’t bother with the bikes. Go for a crisp swim and send it back to Bali mainland ASAP
Feb 2023 • Couples
WET SEASON NO NO. Go for a day trip and snorkel, don’t stay- it’s desolate and depressing. BIKE RIDING IS IMPOSSIBLE in the sand. They say it takes 1.5 hours to ride around… but you’ll spend 70% of that time pushing the bike not riding it. The snorkelling is good but everything else is a bit hmmm. Food is average (probably due to lack of resources) the water is expensive (relatively) and the bikes do not work on the island. Definitely needs some TLC.

Magical island - the best out of the three
Jan 2023 • Couples
The best island & quietest one of them all. Great little hotels and places to eat fresh fish along the beach, eating in the treehouses!

2012 Deserted Island
Oct 2021 • Solo
I visited Gili Meno circa 2012… TripAdvisor won’t let me write a review that is that old (is this wrong?) but I had such a special experience there, I thought I would drop a quick note. Part of me does not want to share the secret place with anyone, to keep it sacred … But it’s pretty far away, and I think it’s OK to leave a review… It is such a tiny island. I am sure that anyone that would consider going there is a pretty off the beaten path traveler.

When I went to Gili Meno, it was an island, off of an island, off of an island. That particular experience taught me how to find places on a map, and just go there without even looking into it. It taught me how to really explore the world and find a tiny stretch of sand in the middle of a giant ocean.

I took a boat from Padngbai…and they make a couple of stops at these three Gili islands, and I just jumped off into the water with my backpack at the one that I liked. It turned out to be the quietest one and the best one for me.

I took some diving lessons and got deep water certified, from this very tiny dive outfit. I think maybe 30 people lived on the island, and two of them were dive instructors. And I just sat in this little hut on the beach, and walked down the sand to have dinner. It is such a small island you can walk across it. Just some simple sand paths. It was truly beautiful and wonderful, slow place.

I looked at the satellite pictures, and I can see that I just gotten somewhat more busy… compared to my visit where they were literally four shacks/huts on the whole island. But perhaps not much busier. I truly enjoyed my stay there.

Litter problem
Mar 2020 • Couples
The beaches on Gili Meno have the potential to be absolutely amazing however the extensive litter makes them look very shabby. It is ok to see coral and driftwood but the amount of plastic flip flops, wrappers etc is poor and not good for marine life if also washed back into the sea. Staff could be paid to clear the beaches daily making the place stunning for visitors

1 Moth on Gili Meno
Feb 2020 • Solo
The Idea came up beacase i was lookin for something differnt to Austria(Europe) and a friend of mine kind a lifes here since 4 years (on/of always for half a year at least) so i packed my bag with my needings wich was totally to much but hey, never try never know.

right now raining season is what's going on here but beacause this is a small Isaland between Gili Trawangan & Gili Air the weather on the Gili's is very nice most of the time.. few cloudy days sometimes rainshowers in the mornin wich switch to 30°c and sun pretty fast.
anyway its always around 25°c - 30°c here.

There are different typs of Hotels, Bungalows, Hostels here .. so i would recomend if u arrive like me with no planning and clue at all, book a room for a day or two and look a round the Island.
you might find a place u like more or one that is cheeper or has what u enjoy on your stay.
I tooked a Low-Budget Bungalow for 100k/round 7€ per day .. witch was a awesome deal for a one moth stay. (also low season right now)
if you want more people round you go for hostels like "eco hostel" in this case the price is 200k per day .. when you want a super duper service & fresh lookin place the price goes up from 500k to over 1mio per day.. just to get a clue about price range..

- what to-do -

diving :
obiulsy it's a small Island..
Days fade away, i made the OWD (1stage)
at Marlins Diveclub(PADI) wich is an allowence to go diving together with a Divemaster or Instructor
all around the world - nice ( :

snorkeling :
u can rent some snorkeling gear ask locals and find ya own path at the reevs around the Island.
or go for a boat-snorkel trip so u will def. see the best spots. depends on your wantings & maybe price range.

chillin at the beach :
go around the beach its not everwhere the same
if u wanna go for a swim the harbour side/beach is probably the best/smoothest to enter the sea.
but chillin in the sand is dope around the shore on many spots. (might depend on the hotel you stay if u lazy dude/in)

rent a bike :
if you here for a lil longer you clould go for it. first two weeks i walked around but you see loads a people with bike so after a while - yeah..

relaxe your body & soul, alone or with ya fellows or loved ones.

some people would say it's kind a messy on the Island. but positivity is the key, and if u think about the corrupt goverment and the diverent typ of aducation.. you might think like me.
it's woth to support so this place gets even better again. have you ever been to greece...

get in contact with locals :
spots like brotherhood could be something for you they do workshops (with woodstuff or how to make a chain out of recicled stuff etc.)
talk to the people at the warungs all around the Island, to get a connection.. the small warungs are def. the place to go.. cheep prices and the dont ripp you of like this one big shop at the harbour. - god damit

yeah, if there is something missing i might exploid this treat here.

this is not proofed for any wrong english words.
;-) we not in skool anymore

- it's my positive/objektiv look on the Island
GILI MENO take ya own descion and read different typs of Reviews folks

Beautiful island shame about the plastic and coral graveyard
Feb 2020 • Friends
After Gilli T this was a welcome change. Lovely people much quieter island, lovely place to chill.
Plenty of places to eat and drink along with deserted beaches.
The amount of dead coral on the beaches along with rubbish and plastic etc on the beach and in the sea is heart breaking. Not just this island it’s across the board
We collected a lot of plastic up off the beach and from the sea when we went out on the boats
People who do the trips should educate people picking plastic up out of the sea, save the turtles and fish and to NOT touch or stand on the coral
There is that much dead coral they use it as chippings
Transport is pony n trap which I don’t agree with, bicycle or walk. We done the latter. It was great wandering around the island stopping for a drink on the way

Not that great as expected or promised!
Feb 2020 • Couples
We bought trip to Gili Meno Escape, they nicely screw us up with transport back, so we had to pay extra money to get back to hotel and nobody cares. Beaches over there was dirty, full of rubbish, restaurants all around the place over there was just joke. Food quality awfull, service terrible, lets say we decide to stay just one night because we was starving. People around living in extremelly poor conditions, fighting for money on every single corner. Funniest thing was, how many times people offered us drugs to buy. While seating and trying to chill,no matter where we was, there was always street people selling crap and pushing it rude into your face, dont understand no as an answer. I didnt like this place at all, whole island is in very bad condition, very dirty and people over there are impossible. Awfull experience, i was happy when we left
