Moreover, Turtle Point, Taka Makassar, Manta Point, and Gili Lawa Island will be held on the 3rd day. On the last day, we will experience Kanawa Island and Kelor Island. The special destinations on this Indonesia Impression private Phinisi charter trip are Gili Lawa Island. Many people call it Gili Lawa Darat. There are also those who call it Gili Laba. This island is the only island that is able to compete for its beauty with the island of Padar. In our opinion, what makes this island superior is because it also has a very diverse and unique underwater beauty that Padar Island does not have. This island is also a favorite place for advanced divers. There is a special spot on the seabed known as Castle Rock and sometimes only highly professional divers practice the shotgun diving method.

This island is dry savanna. Uninhabited, and during the afternoon you will see a group of deer’s playing on the beach. You can climb to the tip of the hill and see a breath taking panoramic view of the sunset or sunrise. Takes about an hour to climb it. If you are lucky, sometimes a herd of dolphins playing around the beach before sunset. There is no Komodo Dragon in Gili Lawa Darat, but recently the National Park officials prohibit tourists to climb the hills until further notice, since it caught fire in August 2018. So the island is still in the recovery and conservation phase, and access for tourists is minimized. (May 26/2023)
