Gili Gede Stay & Snorkeling
Gili Gede, often called “The Hidden Gili,” is a serene island west of Lombok where tranquility meets natural beauty. Unlike the crowded Gilis, this island offers an authentic escape with calm beaches, turquoise waters, and warm island hospitality.
During your 3-day stay in Gili Gede, you’ll wake up to the sound of gentle waves and enjoy the pristine setting of your beachfront resort. Because the island is less commercialized, it’s the perfect place to unwind, sunbathe, and soak in a true tropical atmosphere.
Snorkeling Adventures
The real magic of Gili Gede lies beneath the surface. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters where vibrant coral reefs host a dazzling array of marine life. Swim alongside colorful tropical fish, encounter sea turtles, and marvel at untouched underwater gardens. For more variety, you’ll enjoy island-hopping to nearby Gilis such as Gili Layar and Gili Asahan, each with spectacular snorkeling spots and unique beach settings.
With professional boat transfers, snorkeling gear provided, and experienced local guides, your days in Gili Gede will be filled with both relaxation and adventure. After each excursion, you’ll return to a quiet island vibe—perfect for watching sunsets and savoring fresh seafood by the beach.
Gili Islands Stay & Snorkeling
The Gili Islands are famous worldwide for their stunning beaches, clear waters, and vibrant marine life. Staying on the Gilis offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, because each island—Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno—has its own unique charm. You can enjoy peaceful sunsets, stroll along sandy shores, or cycle around the car-free paths.
Snorkeling here is a highlight. The underwater world is alive with colorful coral reefs, playful tropical fish, and graceful sea turtles. With professional guides and provided snorkeling gear, you’ll explore multiple snorkeling spots where marine biodiversity thrives. You can also join an island-hopping boat trip to experience the best of all three Gilis in one journey.
After a day of snorkeling and adventure, return to your beachfront resort to relax, savor fresh seafood, and watch the stars over the calm sea. Whether you’re a couple seeking romance, a family on holiday, or an adventurer chasing marine beauty, the Gili Islands deliver an unforgettable escape.
Lombok Island Tour
Lombok is an island of contrasts where unspoiled beaches, rich culture, and dramatic landscapes come together to create a remarkable journey. Compared to neighboring Bali, Lombok feels calmer, yet it offers equally breathtaking experiences. Because the island is diverse, your days here are filled with discovery, adventure, and cultural immersion.
Sasak Culture & Southern Beaches
Begin your Lombok exploration with a visit to the traditional Sasak villages of Sade and Ende. Here, you’ll learn about unique customs, local crafts, and traditional weaving. Afterward, continue to the south coast where turquoise waters meet soft white sand at Kuta Lombok, Tanjung Aan, and Selong Belanak. The rolling hills of Merese Hill provide panoramic sunset views, making this day both cultural and scenic.
Waterfalls & Mount Rinjani Foothills
Travel north into the lush foothills of Mount Rinjani. Trek through tropical forests to discover Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls, two of Lombok’s most famous natural wonders. The fresh mountain air and cascading waters create a refreshing escape after your coastal adventures.
Gili Excursion from Lombok
From Bangsal Harbor, set out on a day trip to the Gili Islands. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, swim with turtles, and relax on sun-kissed beaches before returning to Lombok for the evening. This excursion combines vibrant marine life with a lively island vibe.
Pure Relaxation & Island Vibes
Between tours, you’ll have time to enjoy your beachfront resort in Senggigi or Kuta. Lounge by the pool, walk along sandy shores, and savor Lombok’s fresh seafood. Because the pace here is slower, Lombok invites you to relax deeply while still offering plenty of adventure.
