Hi, I am not sure if you are still looking for a way to get to the Gillis but we managed to do it last year. We went once to the "real Gillis" and another time to the one that the photos have been posted of. It is a little hard to work it all out, but I know a driver over there that can make it all possible, we went to the main one via a fast boat and had time to catch "the local" boat back, which was an experience in itself, :)

If you would like to know further details contact me and I will give you the full details. And anyone else that might be looking for a day out in Lombok I can put them in contact with the driver also. He knows the Island really well and gives you a different perspective of Lombok, we ended up loving the place.:)

Another thing. Note that they don't actually come out and say that you will be refused boarding. As I said before they are hoping to get people scared enough that they will book in australia.

 

Dirty tactics if you ask me. Start giving us good prices and we will book in Australia. I for one would love to. Then again' date=' I am not stupid enough to pay an extra $7000 for a cruise just so I can book with an Australian TA.[/quote']

 

Can there really be that much difference between the costs?

 

I never booked through an overseas TA, and now it looks like its all too late. Seems a bit unfair though if there is that much difference in the price. :eek:
