From Gili Trawangan: Gili Islands Small-Group Snorkeling Boat Tour

Your Experience

Snorkel the Gili Islands in a premium small-group boat trip, with expert guidance from a fixed meeting point on Gili Trawangan.

Getting started

Meet your expert guide at the fixed meeting point on Gili Trawangan and check in for your small-group boat trip. After a short introduction to the route and conditions for the day, you will walk to the boat and step aboard with a maximum of 8 guests. Once everyone is seated, the captain departs toward the Gili Islands snorkeling sites.

What to expect

Gili Islands small-group boat trip

This premium small-group boat trip focuses on the reefs and calm waters around Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air. Your professional guide leads you through each snorkeling stop, pointing out marine life and managing the pace so both confident swimmers and beginners feel comfortable.

Features

• Experience a small-group boat trip with a maximum of 8 guests, so there is space to spread out on the shared boat and easier access in and out of the water at each stop.

• Use the provided snorkeling equipment, including mask, snorkel, and fins, which your expert guide helps you adjust before you enter the water at each reef.

• Receive a clear safety briefing before entering the water, covering how to use your mask, snorkel, and fins, boat signals, and what to do around wildlife and other snorkelers.

• Rely on a professional guide for support in the water and guidance at every snorkeling location, including help with spotting wildlife and staying close to the group.

• Wear a life jacket that is available for all guests, including less confident swimmers, so you can float on the surface while watching the underwater scenery.

• Snorkel in the natural habitat of wild sea turtles around the Gili Islands, watching them glide along the reef from a respectful distance as your guide keeps an eye on currents.

• Visit multiple coral reefs in one trip around Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air, with time at each site to observe different coral formations and reef fish, depending on conditions.

• Swim above the iconic underwater statues at Gili Meno, one of Southeast Asia’s most distinctive snorkeling sites where sculpted figures sit on the seabed and attract marine life.

• Take an island break on Gili Meno to relax on soft white sand and choose your own lunch or drinks at a beachfront restaurant, since food and drinks are not included.

• Look back toward Lombok for views of Mount Rinjani while cruising between snorkeling stops, as the volcano forms a backdrop behind the turquoise water.

Wrapping up

After the final snorkeling stop, the boat returns to Gili Trawangan, where you disembark near the original meeting point and can continue your day on the island or make your own way back to your accommodation, since hotel transfers are not included and reef-safe sunscreen, if needed, should be brought by you.
