Review Body: We loved this trip! Beautiful corals and fish, we even saw calamari, a huge turtle and a sea horse (which Adi found for us!). But really our captain Adi and especially our guide and driver Dewa made this trip. They we're so fun and we learned a lot about lombok cultures etc. They allowed as many stops as we wanted, so we even visited 5 gilis and were home only at 7:30pm, because we were never rushed :)
And the pictures and videos Adi took are a great memory. Highly recommend this experience!

Review Body: We had a beautiful day exploring five islands with Bayoe and Adi. They were both very kind and helpful, and they never rushed us, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each island.
During the activity, Adi also showed us the best snorkeling spots and took photos and videos with a GoPro, which they sent us the same evening, really appreciated!
We relaxed, went snorkeling and were lucky enough to see a turtle too! A lovely day and a really nice experience.

Review Body: I had the absolute best experience with Kindy. He came right on time and went above and beyond the whole trip. As we went to the Gili islands he took the most epic drone videos directing me since I was shy. And Abdul swam with me the whole time. Truly had the best time it was a last minute booking and it was the best thing ever. And at no point in time did I feel hurried, kindy let me relax and enjoy the day. Absolute best guide out there.

Review Body: Excellent service. We booked our snorkeling trip the day before and we had the confirmation and a message from our driver straight away. Our driver/guide (Gede) was fantastic and the snorkeling guide was the best. We wouldn't of ever spotted a sea turtle without him, we are very grateful. He also captured some amazing footage of us in the water. An experience we will never forget.

Review Body: We took a tour to the northern Gili and it was incredible. Kindy organized everything very well, we didn't expect the islands and snorkeling to be so spectacular. And the experience alone and very personalized. I recommend it 100%

Kindi Subarkah was born and raised on the beautiful island of Lombok, where he grew up surrounded by stunning landscapes and rich traditions. Seeing travellers come and go, he realised many were missing the true essence of Lombok—the local people, hidden gems, and deep cultural heritage. And he wanted to change just that. His goal wasn’t just to offer great travel experiences but to ensure local guides, artisans, and families could benefit too. Through his work, he supports small businesses, preserves cultural heritage, and promotes responsible tourism. For him, it’s not just about showing people Lombok—it’s about making a positive impact on the community and the island he loves.
