Planning your trip to Gili Trawangan? Understanding local transportation makes all the difference. The cidomo — the island’s iconic horse-drawn cart — is the primary way to get around once you arrive on the car-free island.
A cidomo is a traditional horse-drawn carriage unique to the Gili Islands. With no motorized vehicles allowed on Gili Trawangan, cidomos serve as the main transport for luggage, groceries, and passengers who prefer not to walk or cycle.
Each cidomo is operated by local drivers who know every path and shortcut across the island.
Cidomo prices vary by distance, time of day, and luggage load.
| Route | Price (IDR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Port to main beach | 50k – 75k | 5–10 min |
| Short distance | 25k – 50k | Within center |
| Port to north | 75k – 100k | Longer ride |
| Cross island | 100k – 150k | East to west |
