Gili Islands & Moyo Island Luxury Cruise from Lombok — Shorter Alternative

A Gili Islands & Moyo Island luxury cruise from Lombok is the shorter, more relaxed alternative to the full Komodo voyage — a 3D2N or 5D4N private yacht charter covering the three Gili Islands (Trawangan, Meno, Air), then continuing east to Moyo Island’s Amanwana cove and the Mata Jitu waterfall. Ideal for honeymooners and families on shorter trips. From USD 7,500/day private catamaran or phinisi.

Why Choose Gili + Moyo Over Full Komodo Route

Best Vessel for Gili + Moyo

Sailing catamarans (shallow draft for Gili sandbar access) and boutique phinisi (overnight at Moyo cove). Avoid large superyachts — Gili anchorages are tender-access from offshore.
