The snorkeling around Lombok’s Gili Islands ranks among Indonesia’s finest. Crystal-clear waters make it easy to spot sea turtles, colorful fish, and unique underwater sculptures. Glass-bottom boat tours provide comfort and visibility, while guided trips to Gili Meno and Gili Air reveal the richest marine habitats. I’m especially fond of the Southern Gilis tours – they’re uncrowded and perfect for travelers seeking authentic experiences away from the tourist masses. Particularly memorable are the sunset snorkel excursions, when the changing light creates magical underwater effects. Let’s explore our recommended tours for experiencing these remarkable waters.
