Gili Islands Tour: Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno & Gili Air – Full Day

Just off the coast of Lombok, Indonesia lie the Gili Islands – three pristine islands each with their own personality. Spend the day exploring their breathtaking beauty, snorkeling in the clear waters, chilling at the beach, and watching marine life swim by through a glass-bottomed boat in this fun-filled full-day tour.

We’ll start off by picking you up at your accommodations early in the morning. We’ll depart for the Teluk Kodek Harbor and board a glass-bottom boat where we’ll be able to see the fish as they swim about in the waters below.

Our first stop will be Gili Air. Don our snorkeling equipment and dive into the clear waters of the island. If you’re lucky, you might spot colorful fish, coral, maybe even a lurking turtle!

“Wow this place is amazing. Turquoise blue waters. Turtles swimming around. Fabulous snorkeling access from the beach. The water for swimming so warm and crystal clear. Will definitely return.” — Vanessa, Australia

We’ll head to Gili Meno next, where we’ll visit a turtle sanctuary before diving underwater to see the famous underwater statues called “The Nest”. Make sure to bring a waterproof photo case or GoPro to capture some photos of the unique art installation by sculptor Jason DeCaires Taylor.

We’ll have lunch at Gili Trawangan, where we’ll spend a few hours chilling by the shores or diving back in for some more Gili snorkeling and more water activities. Then we’ll head back to the harbor and Lombok before making our way to our last stop.

One of the best photo-op spots in the area, Malaka Hill is an outlook or viewpoint that boasts scenic views of the sea and the shoreline. We’ll snap a few photos to remember our trip by before making our way back to your accommodations after a day out and about.

“One of the best photo spots in Lombok! You’ll have the background of the 3 Gili islands, plus the surrounding hills make this place very photogenic.” — Edhi, Indonesia
