Gili Islands Snorkeling Tour: Explore 3 Gilis in One Day

Swim with Turtles, See Underwater Statues, and Relax on Your Own Private Boat.

You cannot visit Lombok without exploring the famous Gilis. Our Gili Islands Snorkeling Tour is the ultimate island-hopping experience.

Unlike the crowded public boats, we take you on a Private Wooden Boat to explore all three islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air.

From swimming with sea turtles to seeing the famous underwater statues, this is the perfect day out for families and couples.

Why We Recommend This Trip

As a local guide, I know the waters around the Gilis like the back of my hand. Here is why you should book this private tour:

09:00 – Pick Up & Scenic Drive We pick you up from your hotel (Senggigi/Mataram). We drive along the scenic coastal road to Nipah Beach, a beautiful bay with calm waters where our boat awaits.

09:30 – Boat Ride to Gili Trawangan Hop on your Private Outrigger Boat. Enjoy the panoramic views of Mount Agung (Bali) and Mount Rinjani as we sail to the first island.

Stop 1: Gili Trawangan. We dock here for sightseeing. You can walk around, grab a coffee, see the “Party Island” vibe, or take a horse cart (Cidomo) tour.

12:00 – Snorkeling at Gili Meno (Turtles & Statues) This is the highlight of the <b>Gili Islands Snorkeling Tour</b>. We sail to Gili Meno.

The Statues: We visit the famous underwater “Nest” statues (BASk). A perfect photo spot.

Turtle Point: We guide you to the spot where green sea turtles graze. Swimming alongside them is magical.

Lunch: We stop at a beachside restaurant in Gili Meno or Air for a delicious lunch.

14:30 – Fish Garden at Gili Air Next, we head to Gili Air. The currents here are gentle, and the coral reefs are full of colorful tropical fish. It is like swimming in an aquarium.

16:00 – Return to Lombok We sail back to Nipah Beach. If we are lucky, we might catch the beginning of the sunset on the boat. We drive you back to your hotel around 17:00 – 17:30 PM.
