Common cost categories
Local warungs and the Gili T night market offer the easiest food savings, while imported drinks and beachfront dining cost more. Bicycle rental is usually the lowest-cost transport option. Cidomo fares should be agreed before travel. Shared snorkelling is less expensive than a private boat; scuba diving is a major budget item, with 2026 operator price lists commonly placing one guided fun dive around the mid-hundreds of thousands of rupiah plus applicable park or conservation fees.
