Skip the crowds of Gili T and head south for private island vibes.
Forget Gili T’s party boats and underwater statues set up for tourists. If you want beautiful reefs, turtles and quiet little islands, this is a MUCH nicer way to experience Lombok. You’ll have a private boat for the day, hopping between five Secret Gilis with great snorkelling, peaceful beaches and a generous local lunch by the sea. Along the way, your guide will also share stories on local Sasak culture, so you'll come away feeling much more connected to Lombok too.Unlike the touristed Gilis, each of the secret Gili islands feels different (but not in a manufactured way). Snorkel colourful reefs around Gili Layar and Rengit, look out for turtles and huge schools of fish, slow down on the beaches of Nanggu, stop for grilled fish at Tangkong, then finish at tiny Gili Kedis - basically a little patch of sand surrounded by turquoise water.Because the boat is private, the day feels relaxed. There’s no rushing between photo stops, and the crew can adjust the pace depending on what you’re enjoying. Guests consistently say they had plenty of time at each island and loved how uncrowded many of the snorkelling spots felt.The guides are a big part of why people love this trip too. Guests repeatedly mention how warm, knowledgeable and genuinely caring they are - pointing out turtles, helping families in the water, sharing local stories and making the whole day feel really looked after. One guest even said the islands were beautiful, but the real value was in the friends they made that day. So you come away with more than a day of pretty islands - you get a little more of Lombok too.If you want a quieter, more personal alternative to the famous Gilis, this is the one we’d pick.What to ExpectPrivate snorkeling boat for an exclusive and personalized experience.Free, convenient pickup from your hotel from multiple areas around Lombok: Mataram, Kuta Lombok, Sengiggi or the Airport!Experience a unique island-hopping adventure to five secret Gilis (many tours only offer stops at 3 islands!)Ample snorkeling opportunities to explore the underwater beauty of colorful marine life and vibrant coral reefs.Delicious lunch featuring freshly prepared local dishes.Relaxation and tranquility on the secluded beaches of the Secret Gilis.Stunning views and natural beauty at each stop, perfect for photography enthusiasts.Knowledgeable and friendly crew dedicated to making your trip enjoyable and memorable.Ample time at each destination, so you can fully enjoy activities like snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing without feeling rushed. 5 Secret Gillis Explained: Gili Layar: Known for its tranquil beauty and secluded atmosphere, Gili Layar is perfect for snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. Its larger size allows for more space to explore, making it ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape while snorkeling among vibrant marine life.Gili Rengit is recognized for its distinctive shape, resembling a small crescent. This island is famous for its vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life, offering excellent snorkeling opportunities where you can encounter a variety of fish and occasional sea turtles. Here, you can explore schools of fish and keep an eye out for graceful sea turtles, providing a glimpse into the rich underwater ecosystem.Gili Nanggu: stands out for its pristine, untouched beaches and calm waters.
