Discover Gili Gede

Swim with Whale Sharks

From Gili Trawangan, embark on a liveaboard journey through Sumbawa’s Saleh Bay. Here, the highlight awaits—snorkeling with whale sharks. Because they gather in these calm waters, your encounter feels natural and unforgettable. Swimming beside these gentle giants is truly the experience of a lifetime.

Explore Komodo Island

Your adventure continues toward Komodo National Park. Trek across rugged trails with a local ranger to see the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural environment. Then, enjoy Pink Beach, Padar Island’s famous viewpoint, and snorkeling stops at Manta Point and Taka Makassar.
