Review Body: We had an incredible tour of the Secret Gili Islands with Wawan and his crew! From the moment we started, they were friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had an amazing experience. As a lovely surprise, they even included a visit to a local weaving village at no extra cost, which was such a special cultural experience. The snorkeling spots were absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear water and beautiful marine life. Throughout the day, Wawan shared fascinating insights into the history and culture of Lombok, which made the tour even more memorable. You can really tell how passionate and knowledgeable the team is. If you're visiting Lombok, I can't recommend this tour enough. Thank you, Wawan and the crew, for such an unforgettable day!

Review Body: This day was spectacular. We had the best time with our guides junaidi, Yana and Ilham who from the start did everything they could to make our day special and they succeeded. They were really informative about local culture and customs and we visited 5 of the beautiful secret Gilis, stopping to snorkel at the best spots. They pointed out a turtle and various highlights of the myriad of colourful fish and coral we saw. Lunch was a feast, including fresh coconut and barbecue fish, and we sat on top of the boat like King and Queen as we ferried between islands. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, but the real value was in the friends we made today. Thanks so much, guys ❤️

Review Body: My family and I had a wonderful time with Bale Laut. All the guides are professional, helpful and we truly felt cared for throughout. They truly cater to our needs of our group with elderly and kids. The tour is definitely recommended for everyone to see the less ventured part of the island. It was beautiful and worth the trip! The photographer/videographer took so much efforts to capture memories for us which we deeply appreciate. Thank you to the whole team for making a core memory for us! We will definitely book again to try out other tours when we can :)

Review Body: This summer, I visited the Secret Gilis with Bale Laut Tour and it was a unique experience. They picked me up right from my hotel in Kuta and drove safely all the way to the Secret Gilis. On the drive, Nining shared so much about Lombok's culture and the islands. The snorkeling was incredible, easily one of the highlights of my trip in Indonesia. Yudi was a fantastic guide, making sure I saw as much marine life as possible. I highly recommend this tour!!! A huge shoutout to Nining and Yudi, the experience wouldn't have been the same without them. 🤿🐠

Review Body: We were treated like queens, they asked what we wanted to do and took our wishes into consideration. We swam with turtles and saw hundreds of beautiful fish. It was just us with 3 guides which we were a bit confused by in the beginning but they were very friendly and attentive. Mawa thought us about the culture and Buguh was probably the driver we felt the safest with on the streets compared to other experiences. The food was delicious and they also offered vegetarian option. Definitely recommend. Thank you very much

Review Body: Our trip did not disappoint! Our guide, Junaidi, was wonderful. Share history of Lombok with us on the way to the boat. Each gili was unique. Snorkeling in the clear blue waters was a delight, but the colorful fish below were even better. We snorkeled with several sea turtles and enjoyed our local lunch. We hired the photo/videographer so we could focus on spending family time together and enjoying the whole experience—highly recommend. I would go back tomorrow if I could.

Review Body: We had a wonderful day with our guide Wawan and his team. We visited a local sasak village to see the traditional way of life and the ladies showed us their incredible weaving skill of Songket fabric. We then caught a fishing boat to 5 different islands and snorkelled with a wide variety of fish and turtles. We had a delicious grilled fish lunch. Would definitely recommend this tour, the islands were not crowded and the quality of the snorkelling was great.

Review Body: We had a wonderful day with Yudi. We visited the 5 beautiful islands. The snorkelling was the best we have ever seen. The lunch was a real feast of local foods. We had plenty of time in each location and did not feel rushed at all. Yudi really made the trip, he was brilliant with the children, so friendly and knowledgeable and helps us take some incredible photos and videos.

Review Body: Incredible day! We had the best guides, Renza, and Pasek were so helpful and knowledgeable. We got to feed some fish which was super fun. Lunch was delicious and we were the first to the lunch spot and it was stunning. We paid for the GoPro add-on and Habib, our snorkeling guide, took the best photos! Recommend reef friendly sunscreen and lots of it!

Review Body: An amazing day! The sites were superb, teeming with coral, fish and a turtle. But our tour guide, Dwi, alongside the captain of the boat and the other staff really made it special. Incredibly friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Of all the snorkeling tours we have done, we would highly recommend this one!
