Choose a private or shared boat trip around Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno. Guides such as Tom, Jack, Maron, and Adi help beginners, take GoPro photos, and lead you to turtles, coral gardens, and the famous underwater statues.
“Fantastic, great way to meet people if traveling alone. Well organized and friendly staff, definitely recommend this activity 🤗”
From Sama-Sama Reggae Bar, you’ll board a glass-bottom boat with an English-speaking crew for three snorkel stops, including The Nest statues and turtle sites. Choose a 4.5 or 5.5-hour trip, with time on Gili Air and, on the longer option, Gili Meno.
“Fantastic trip this morning at the 7am. Was great to get out before the crowds. Both guides on board were fantastic and knew e exactly where to see the best sights. Highly recommended, from an Irish tourist.”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Sama-Sama Reggae Bar, 100 meters from Gili Trawangan harbor. You’ll visit statue, turtle, and fish sites, with shared GoPro footage and a sunset finish. Guides such as Ijank and Dodo are praised for keeping beginners safe and finding turtles.
“Ijank and dodo were our guides they were amazing! We got lots of great pictures on the go pro. We also went to the under water statues when it was quiet so not lots of crowds”
Spend about 8.5 hours exploring all three Gili Islands from Lombok with an English-speaking guide and a small group of up to nine. Expect clear-water snorkeling, turtles, Gili Meno’s underwater statues, lunch on Gili Trawangan, and a final hilltop viewpoint.
“Rido Romance is the coolest guide you’re gonna get in Lombok. Having more than a decade of experience in Lombok’s tour guide industry, he sure knows all the spots to make your trip a dream. As a bonus, he has a beautiful voice to make long travel times much more entertaining. Highly recommended!”
Travel by private speedboat from Teluk Nara Harbor to Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, or Gili Meno in roughly 7 to 10 minutes. The boat carries up to seven people, operates from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and offers a quiet alternative to crowded ferry travel. Ramadana handles communication and arrangements.
“We travelled from Gili T to Lombok. The communication was great leading up to the trip. The power boat was a much better experience than the larger fast boat. Our friend from Gili T spoke with the boat captain and arranged for us to be picked up from the beach. Much easier than battling the crowd on the harbour.”
By hull, by landing, by how long you want to be out.
