Well I just returned from my trip to Gilli Trawangan ... Organization is good except small lies about timing .. But it’s extremely expensive .. Just please visit an Instagram page jump to bali .. many offices offers exactly ‘’ same trip details and luxury level with 900000 per person ( around 80 $ ) .. Privat boat, accompanied bu snorkeling guide bla bla .. all same .. Unfortunately I booked that tour just because I decided to go late at night . I don’t have an objection about tour but Value of money doesn’t worth’s 375$ !
