Island hopping · SNORKELING TRIPS IN INDONESIA
Good snorkeling trips in Indonesia sell out weeks ahead in high season and the early departures go first. Below: the 4 to book now, what each includes and how they differ.
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”
Set out from Gili Air, Gili Meno, Gili Trawangan, or Lombok with guides such as Abdul Azis or Azis. You will snorkel at turtle sites, coral gardens, and underwater statues, with optional GoPro footage, hotel transfers, and a private boat.
“We had an amazing snorkeling adventure guided by Azis and his mate! From start to finish, they took excellent care of us, making sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the trip. Azis went out of his way to find the best snorkeling spots—away from the crowds—so we could fully enjoy the beauty of the ocean in peace. One of the highlights was seeing turtles up close, which was absolutely unforgettable. The whole experience lasted around 3 hours and was the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a personal and memorable snorkeling experience!”
By hull, by landing, by how long you want to be out.
