- Sandra F0 contributionsRecommend this scuba tripSuch an amazing trip! The three places the took us to was amazing, just the fact that you were able to swim close to turtles was absolutely breathtaking. It was reasonable prizes for the two of us and we absolutely recommend people to do this! Also want to give a big shoutout to our tourguide Mr Juen, he was amazing!Written January 28, 2024
- Nat B0 contributions3 island snorkeling tripDid the three island snorkelling tour and we had a great time. Staff were friendly and professional. Cost was very reasonable for what we received. The three snorkeling locations were all amazing in their own way.Written January 22, 2024
- 69rebekahd0 contributionsWell worth it!!!This tour was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide and driver were friendly and professional and made sure we went to all the best spots at the right time. We felt safe in their boat and they always made sure we were happy and comfortable. Our guide Marek was so helpful and took the camera deep underwater to get amazing shots of the turtle and the fish. He also made sure he got some great shots and videos of my partner and I and was always on the look out for turtles. For sunset, we stopped out in the ocean to see the sun going down and stayed out there for a good amount of time. When we arrived back, the team were prompt in getting our photos back to us and making sure we enjoyed everything. Would highly recommend doing the private tour on sunset, whether you’re a couple or with a group of mates. So worth it!!!Written December 16, 2023
- 163inag0 contributionsSnorkeling Tour Gili IslandsIt was a really beautiful day. The tour was so wonderful. We saw turtles and the islands were beautiful!! The guides were really funny and friendly. They had water for everyone and a go pro camera. Only the lunch spot at gili air wasnt that Good. So better go somewhere else in the free time 🤗Written September 24, 2023
- Dream315061204570 contributionsBest snorkeling experience ever!The tour was amazing, even better than the one I did in the great barrier reef! You need to bring your towel and sunscreen, they provide the equipment, a small bottle of water and the gopro. Swimming so close to the turtles was just breathtaking, and the ship wrecked and the statues.. all seemed unreal. We stopped first in gili menor where I had a refreshing coconut on the beautiful beach, then we hitted gili air where you can have a delicious lunch with fresh caught fish (so cheap). I recommend lime juice or ginger ale if you feel seasick. Our guides did a great job thank you Deha for this fond experience!Written September 5, 2023
- 114nauran0 contributionsBest experienceI had an amazing experience with guide from Gilis_official. He is a great guide that has a lot of experience and speaks English very well. The hike was tough but for me very manageable. Reaching the summit and watching the sunrise has been one of the best experiences I have had in my life.Written July 12, 2023
- actoralijames0 contributionsSunset snorkel gili tGreat crew, took lots of go pro videos/pics for us, brought our own drinks to have with sunset. We went to 3 different spots, saw the underwater statues, some turtles, and coral with fish. Fair price, good people, I would use them again.Written May 14, 2023
- Bexy_940 contributionsHighly recommendLOVED THIS TOUR! I definitely recommend, I had a great time from start to finish. Everything was very well organised and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Saw a lot of turtles and people were trying to touch them. The crew would tell people not to do this which I respected. GoPro was included and I got many pictures and videos of the various destinations, it didn’t even take a full day for them to be sent to the google drive. The pictures are amazing and they will allow me to have great memories. Thank you very much❤️Written May 12, 2023
- Tour229199448140 contributionsGoodI liked everything but a snorkeling spot with the statues. It was really like a human soup where you get exhausted in minutes only while trying to sim around. Rest of the spots were beautiful. Turtles were greatWritten May 11, 2023
- Q9259VQanner0 contributionsBetter get other tour groups insteadI must say this tour is only good for tourist who can swim. But if you are not a swimmer, better book a private tour who can assist you to snorkle. Based on my experience, i used their life vest to be able to swim since the current was so strong, it was really hard to snorkle in the water. Their life vest gets loose and they have to tie it up when im already in the water. And They cant even provide me a better life vest???? Even their snorkle gears, they are old and not good quality. I even had to pay for the snorkle gear that fell in to the water, bec the snorkle got detached from one of its parts when the boat guy was already holding it so i can climb the boat. When it fell, he didnt make an effort to get it. Not good service, poor equipments, poor customer service.Written April 11, 2023
- U6742LNkellim0 contributionsAmazing TourThis was an amazing tour! One of the best ones I have been on! The tour guides were great and hands and took photos for you and sent them to us the next day! They also helped me book a ferry back to Bali so that I could make my flight if you get a chance I highly recommend!Written April 8, 2023

The tour was nice and the staff friendly. We did see the turtles but don’t expect to see the statues because by the time you arrive there in high season there are so many people that you can hardly see the statues underwater.
We paid extra compared to other tours offered by other companies to have go pro pictures but we didn’t receive any picture, we tried to reach them but no reply. Another thing I can suggest: don’t do this tour if you suffer from seasickness, the boat was tipping over on the way back due to the sea conditions.

The company was good and professional. Had life jackets ,bottled water and all equipment you needed. However it was so busy at the underwater statues that you really couldn't get in to see them for more than 30 seconds without being pushed out. We did two turtles which was great, the blue coral is just a round maybe 2x2 metre piece of blue coral not how it is advertised. We went to both the other Gili islands. Gili Air for some lunch. The day was nice but not what we were expecting. My advise, get a private boat, cheaper and you go in the morning before all the public tourist boats get there.

Pros: statue site was cool. Price is good for amount of time. Guides were friendly.
Cons: guides had no knowledge of sites, told us the statues were there for no reason, etc. Snorkel equipment not sanitized and in poor condition. Sites were way over crowded, all the tours have the same schedules. They take you to an baby sea turtle "sanctuary" saying they save the turtles but really they steal eggs from the beach and keep them in small pools to add a stop to the tour.
I was able to rent nicer equipment and go out on my own to see more fish, turtles and prettier coral for less money and better photos.

Our snorkeling trip around the Gili Islands was an incredible experience! The underwater world was breathtaking, with vibrant corals, an array of colorful fish, and even a few majestic turtles. One of the highlights was definitely exploring the underwater statues at Gili Meno—it was like swimming through an art gallery. The crew was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring everyone felt safe and well taken care of. This trip exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Gili Islands!

This trip was perfect! Great price. So professional, the staff were multilingual and very kind. The boat ride was not too long (just a few minutes really between each island). Life jackets were available and we were provided with flippers and snorkels included in the price. You could also pay to borrow a go pro but the tour includes photos and video. They set up a WhatsApp to send you the pics after. We stopped at three locations to snorkel and saw turtles at two of them. The superstar guides went out of their way to make sure everyone got pictures under water and that everyone saw the turtles. The short stops at Gili Meno and Gili Air were great, we could refuel and rest. The food on Gili Air was great (you pay for that yourself). All in all a perfect trip. Highly recommend!

Firstly, the company separated everyone into two separate boats with ~13 people each, and ensured the two boats went to the snorkelling spots in a different order to avoid crowding. Also, they seemed to put couples on one boat and solo travellers/remaining couples on the other - this was really good for me as I was able to make friends with other solo travellers.
The best part is the value for money, especially given the trip ended up lasting even longer than I expected (yet they checked no one had any appts they needed to be back for which I also appreciated).
They took a really nice picture of me at the statue, and the place they take you for lunch is good also - definitely recommend this trip!

I went on a tour with this company last year (2023). This year, it was during Ramadan, and I think the team decided to cut the program as much as possible. They dropped us off at a dirty beach on Meno for 20 min instead of a clean one for an hour. On Air, they left us for 1.5 hours instead of an hour - 45 min without explaining anything. This time, I didn't feel like the trip was successful.
The manager didn't respond on WhatsApp, so I had to write in the group chat, where instead of answering why the program was so rushed, he started being rude, suggesting I should book a private tour.
I will never travel with this company again. For your information: a private boat costs 550,000 for the whole boat from Gili to Meno and three snorkeling spots. No rudeness or disrespect. Here, you pay 250,000 per person, 20 people in the boat, and they are still rude to you. Think about it 🙂

My partner and I very much enjoyed our snorkelling trip. There was a large group when we arrived to check in but we were all spilt into 3 boats and taken to different locations so it wasn’t overcrowded. The staff were entertaining and friendly. The day was well planned and we were able to visit Gili Air and Gili Meno which was great. The staff took pictures on their Go Pro and sent them too us the next day, this was included in the price of the tour. Highly recommend to all.

My snorkeling experience at the Gili Islands was absolutely wonderful. The crystal-clear waters provided perfect visibility, allowing me to see an array of vibrant coral reefs and a myriad of colorful fish. Swimming alongside the majestic sea turtles was a highlight that I will never forget. The diversity of marine life was astonishing, with each dive revealing new and exciting creatures. The guides were knowledgeable and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. They were also incredibly polite, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Their passion for marine conservation was evident and added a meaningful layer to the adventure. The serene beauty of the underwater world combined with the professionalism and kindness of the staff made this an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend snorkeling at the Gili Islands to anyone looking for an extraordinary and memorable adventure

Would definitely recommend this trip! We had three stops for snorkeling to see the statues, corals and fish and then turtles. The tour also included a stop at Gili Meno and Gili Air. The team was great and we got some pictures and videos afterwards. Had a great time!
