Stacey, I absolutely love you. You've no idea how profoundly touched I am by your reaction to the horses. I too am heartbroken about it. Here is what I suggest everyone does. IF YOU MUST TAKE THE CARRIAGE, HIRE 2 SEPARATE ONES. This will lessen the horse's load because you are spreading it between two carriages. Please, everyone. A cidomo ride costs only $7.00. I was in Gili T last month, and I SO WISH that thought had crossed my mind. I would have volunteered to pay for people's rides so they not all cram up in the same cart and add to a horse's already difficult life on the island. Be fair, and be brave, everyone.
Gotta love a quiet, uncrowded beach. Those sea turtles were incredible, not to mention the fact that you got to see them for free with no bargaining required! It's sad about the horses, but I'm at least glad to hear that some things are being done to make life a little better for them🐴
Wow, what a beautiful beach front of villa almarik. The place that i am working for. Nice to serve you as our costumer. Acctually IT's me( your water ) on the video 🙂🙂
Great video! Thks so much for sharing 🙏 I booked a villa on gili t, but we don’t party + have 3 kids. Do u think we’ll regret going? We are going for a month so we got a good deal for booking 4 wks. I figure that gili T will be nice for more eateries/options for a long stay, as long as we can escape the partying + find some quiet beaches during the day 😅
Yes, definitely - sounds like you've got the right idea. If you have a nice villa to escape to, and you don't mind travelling around a bit more to find a quieter beach, you're all set. Don't stay out late and you won't see the loud annoying drunks!
The cocktails and drinks tend to use purchased ice (most likely from reverse osmosis water) so there's no real issue there. Though, it's highly likely you'll get some kind of tummy issue here and there, just expect it and roll with it (plus take some meds with you)
You guys are great, keep on with the awesome vlogs. Question; can one take a private boat or helicopter to the Gilis, and can one avoid the queues in this way?
Thanks! You can actually fly domestically to Lombok and take a much shorter boat ride over, that's probably the best case to get a private boat! We havent seen any heli pads but money talks, you could probably sort it
Wow the Gili Islands continue to amaze me! Unfortunate about the horses. I'm assuming your accommodation was a bit too far to go on a bicycle? Just asking because I saw many on this vlog that were parked. Or perhaps those were reserved only for guests of a resort. Great seeing all the friendly people. And a sea turtle in such shallow water. Wow!
Yeah it was too far for heavy luggage sadly, though it's been interesting the feedback we've had since and people saying these horses thrive in this environment and get bored otherwise - hard to know! Either way, Gili T was awesome - but as you've seen Gili Air was the real winner!
Hi guys Thank you for the great videos. Keep up the good work :) Just a quick question, could you please recommend where to go to Gili T and how much was it? Me and my partner a bit lost of the so many options and where to go from as well🤦 Ideally we'd go from Sanur Harbour as our hotel will be before our trip in the South. Thank you in advance :)
Love you guys. Hope you doing ok. Well done video. It's tough to see those horses towing the line for an infrastructure that still needs improving . You show like it is. Sending you much love ❤❤❤ from Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond. Va. P.S. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine' Day . ❤❤❤. WE love you, Nalu !
Thanks guys, hope you had a great valentines as well! Hopefully you got our out of office, we're on the road again exploring - lots more vids to share soon
Sad about the horses, as Stacey said golf buggies would be good . Those turtles ..wow ! Hope you guys are safe in NZ , thinking about you with the floods and the cyclone- hope all your families and friends ok too
Honestly, if you're in another country just go with the flow - especially when you don't know about the local economy, lives of the people there. People need to make a living.
About the horses. Yeah they work a lot but the locals take care of them. It’s how they make money. Every night they wash them, brush them and they eat well. And there is an association managed by a foreigner with a vet that keep an eye on them. So far, there is a project to replace them with electric vehicles.
Yeah if thats not something you'd like to see it's best to avoid sadly :( Though it's been interesting the feedback we've had since and people saying these horses thrive in this environment and get bored otherwise - hard to know!
Maybe instead of using them find accommodation that you’re willing to walk to. I’ve been here numerous times and will always walk to my accommodation. I’d prefer to struggle rather then sit there with my eyes closed hating my decision to use them.
I’ve been to Gilli T twice. Yes it’s not fair on the horses pulling ungrateful westerners but what’s the alternative? Mopeds wizzing around wouldn’t be safe on a small island. Prob best to just walk even if you have your backpack.
I was all set to visit the gilis until I researched further and it seems like Bali, the gilis are broken, corrupt, dodgy, hustlers and muck and rubbish everywhere...the horse treatment was the nail in the coffin for me.
Don’t look on internet and go check by yourself. The gilis has changed a lot the past few years and keep changing. They try their best to clean, fix or build new buildings. You still have some place untouched since the 2018 earthquake. Then Covid has been really tough for the locals. They lost a lot of money and they are not able to fix anything. It’s a beautiful island. Just don’t come during the high season coz it’s really crowded.
cuzzy rory is on in the comments section too night stacey an daneger where are yo guys now etc back home in nz new zealand or whats the go. idk theres just been a big asfk earthquake 5,8 in nz new zealand on wednesday 15th off february 2023 too night idk massages cuzzy customs aka cuzzy rory in the comments section back too night aye brother idk been out on my dirt bikes or dirt bike with few mates too night for night ride on the backroads going out too a motocross track i built out in a lifestyle block farm land few kws away from my place etc. and then the earthquake 5,8 hit the ground rolling and shit idk was soo fucking shit myslfe

They don’t carry the weight, they pulling it. That’s why the locals always make people sit at the back.
lol what about horse riding in your country? have you banned it?

It's sad about the horses, but I'm at least glad to hear that some things are being done to make life a little better for them🐴
No bargaining is a real bonus huh! Super cool of the local guy to just come and let us know as well
You both continue to make great videos for a lot of years and I can't wait for more of them
Whoop! THANKS
How awesome was that turtle! Such great shots! So cool
So special, just coming to say hi on the beach ❤
Wow, what a beautiful beach front of villa almarik. The place that i am working for. Nice to serve you as our costumer. Acctually IT's me( your water ) on the video 🙂🙂
Great episode! Those horses have fun working. They're cared for dearly. They have THE LIFE.
Yeah we have been told this a few times now actually!
Another great videos ❤
Thanks again!
Thanks for the recommendation. Here now because of it! Villa Nero.
Cool! Hope you enjoyed, not a bad spot huh
Lombok is one of fav place that i must visit
Do it! We really need to get to the mainland of Lombok, apparently thats super cool

This was really helpful. Thank you!
You're so welcome!

@@DanegerAndStacey good point…up early + to bed early, we prob won’t cross paths with some 😂 thks!
Great Video. Which beach exactly is the one where you guys saw the turtles?
It's literally the main beach front of Gili T
Loving your videos as I am going to Bali this year. I was wondering - how are yous not getting ‘Bali belly’ from the ice drinks / slush cocktails etc?
The cocktails and drinks tend to use purchased ice (most likely from reverse osmosis water) so there's no real issue there. Though, it's highly likely you'll get some kind of tummy issue here and there, just expect it and roll with it (plus take some meds with you)

Was there April. Beautiful place ❤

The horses broke my heart and is the reason I won't go back. They all looked emaciated. It was so sad.
How long ago were you there? The change is quite noticeable now from years ago, big improvment, but sad none the less
Sad about the horses, as Stacey said golf buggies would be good . Those turtles ..wow ! Hope you guys are safe in NZ , thinking about you with the floods and the cyclone- hope all your families and friends ok too
Poor NZ has had it so rough the past month or so! These cyclones and floods are heart breaking, we've been fortunate though, thanks for thinking of us
What is sad about the horses, mate?
Keep healthy and enjoy your next journey broh.. ❤️ from Gili T Lombok 🍺🍺🍺
Cheers 🍺🍺🍺
Wow
hey what time of year did you travel here?
November!
That’s cool, I never knew it’s called a skewer 😊
Yes definitely book closer to the port poor horses I felt bad for them too
Best advice we can give anyone watching!
Is it possible to pay for the ferry with WISE, or do they only take cash?
Definitely! That's what we did - check here: geni.us/giliferry
You must visit 👉 east java , borobudur temple, white crater
Kitten so cute
i would just go straight for a pad thai cant beat it
Honestly, if you're in another country just go with the flow - especially when you don't know about the local economy, lives of the people there. People need to make a living.
Yup, we can actually see this point as well
Welcome my country Indonesia 🇮🇩
Terima kasih!

I’m with Stacey, I couldn’t handle seeing the horses 😢 might give this island a miss

Very quiet compared to 6 years ago when it was full of Italians.
Really? Interesting. Gotta time those seasons right!
Fyi, gili island is part of Lombok island
Nice video 😉👍
I like it
that's why I only like to travel with guys, we all would find the horse ride to the hotel fun af
There is so much wrong with this comment 🙃
Which hotel did you guys stay at in Gili T?
It's linked :)
Uluwatu n nusa dua lebih dekat..
I’ve been to Gilli T twice. Yes it’s not fair on the horses pulling ungrateful westerners but what’s the alternative? Mopeds wizzing around wouldn’t be safe on a small island. Prob best to just walk even if you have your backpack.
Sumbawa surf poin ..nihi hotel indonesia
"probably the best pizza on the island" lol
Haha classic aye 😂

Love your vids but sorry Bali and the islands not a fan crowd, smelly etc etc ok it’s cheap but not for me unfortunately
Fair enough, not every location is ideal for every traveler - we personally love it!
