A tiny island in the Indian Ocean where you can snorkel with turtles – that's Gili! No trip to Lombok is complete without spending at least a day exploring these idyllic islands. Whether you're planning a day trip or a 1-night, 2-day adventure, here are some of the best experiences the Gilis have to offer.

01 Gili Trawangan

Gili Trawangan is the most famous of the three islands, renowned for its dazzling beaches. It's also known as the filming location for the popular Korean reality show "Youn's Kitchen." This is the perfect place to witness breathtaking sunsets and enjoy some of the best snorkeling in the area.

02 Gili Islands Turtle Snorkeling

This tour takes you to three of the top snorkeling spots around the Gili Islands: Gili Trawangan, Gili Air, and Gili Meno. If you do one thing in the Gilis, make it swimming with the turtles! As they frequent shallow waters, you don't need to be a strong swimmer to enjoy this incredible experience.
