Gili Islands: Private Snorkel Safari & Hawksbill Turtle Encounter

Glide through gin-clear waters around the legendary Gili Islands on a private boat, snorkeling vibrant coral gardens and swimming alongside wild hawksbill turtles. A true bucket-list encounter in one of Indonesia's most iconic seascapes.

What to expect

Your private speedboat departs from a jetty near Lembar, whisking you to the Gili archipelago in style. Snorkel at two or three handpicked sites chosen for visibility and marine life that day. Between dips, recline on the boat with fresh tropical fruit as your guide points out reef sharks, colourful parrotfish, and the turtles that made these islands famous. Return transfers ensure you're back aboard with time to spare.
