★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 8 hours · from $72

Review of a private Gili Islands snorkeling tour from Lombok with turtles, underwater statues, island stops, lunch time, and photos.

“Great snorkeling experience! Saw many fish species, types of coral and many sea turtles! Water was very clear as well. The underwater statues are overrated IMO and very crowded with other snorkelers. The primary guide, Dewa, picked us up on time and took us to the harbor where we loaded onto the boat and met our captain and snorkel guide who photographed and videoed our underwater adventures. Stopped at Gili Tarawgsn for free time and lunch. All in all a great day. very well organized with friendly guides. Highly recommend Dewa and his company for trips in Lombok.”
