Spend a half-day at an exclusive eco-resort on Lola Island, snorkelling pristine reef, kayaking mangrove channels, and joining a guided kastom (traditional) village walk. Authentically remote luxury.
What to expect
A 20-minute private boat transfer skims across the lagoon to Lola Island, where the resort's coral-sand foreshore and shade palapas await. The resident reef biologist leads a 90-minute guided snorkel over a bommie garden bustling with hawksbill turtles and reef sharks. After a refreshment break, a local guide walks you through the neighbouring Ughele village — witnessing shell-money crafting and traditional canoe-building up close. The afternoon is yours to kayak mangrove channels or simply recline with a coconut in hand.
Good to know
Day-use must be pre-booked directly; email or phone via zipolohabu.com.sb. Transfer boat departs from Gizo town jetty. Allow 5–6 hours total. Turtles and reef sharks are resident year-round. Reef shoes recommended; the resort provides snorkel gear.
