Lombok: Private 3 Gilis Snorkeling, Turtles & Statues Tour

Discover the Gili Islands on a private snorkeling trip from Lombok. Swim with sea turtles, explore the underwater museum at Bask Nest, and drift-snorkel over vibrant coral gardens.
Begin your day with a private pickup from your Lombok accommodation. Enjoy a scenic drive up the breathtaking western coastline to Teluk Nara or Bangsal Harbor. Here, your private captain and dedicated snorkeling guide await to welcome you aboard your vessel. As you cross the sparkling Lombok Strait, the majestic silhouette of Mount Rinjani fades into the background, and the idyllic, palm-fringed islands of Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air come into view.

First, head to the waters surrounding Gili Trawangan. Famous for its energetic vibe on land, beneath the surface, it boasts dramatic coral drop-offs and excellent visibility. Slip into the warm tropical waters to explore the sprawling coral ridges. Your expert guide will be right by your side, pointing out hidden moray eels, colorful parrotfish, and intricate starfish.

Next, navigate to the tranquil waters of Gili Meno, the smallest and quietest of the three islands, renowned for its extraordinary marine encounters. Visit the legendary "Turtle Point." Floating quietly on the surface, you will have the unparalleled opportunity to watch wild hawksbill and green sea turtles gracefully swimming and feeding along the ocean floor. Just a short distance away lies the "Bask Nest" underwater statues created by eco-sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor. Snorkeling above this hauntingly beautiful circle of embracing figures is a surreal, deeply moving experience and provides the perfect opportunity for unforgettable underwater photography.

The final aquatic chapter of your journey takes place at Gili Air. Striking the perfect balance between local charm and natural beauty, the reefs here are incredibly healthy and teeming with life. Experience the thrill of a gentle drift snorkel, allowing the mild ocean currents to carry you effortlessly over vast gardens of hard and soft corals. Following your marine explorations, dock at Gili Air. Have ample free time to step ashore, rinse off the salt, and indulge in a delicious local lunch at a beachfront warung (lunch at your own expense), accompanied by the soothing sound of the waves.

After a full day of sun, sea, and discovery, your captain will gently navigate the boat back to the Lombok mainland, where your private driver will be waiting to transport you safely back to your hotel, leaving you with golden memories of the Gili Islands.
