6.From Gili Air/Trawangan: Glass-Bottom Boat with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 363 reviews · 4 hours - 270 minutes · from $47

From Gili Air or Gili Trawangan, you’ll visit at least three snorkeling sites, including Turtle Point, Coral Garden, and Bongkas Reef. A guide and boatman lead the swims, with equipment, life jackets, and water provided. Choose a shared trip or private boat, then stop at Gili Meno for food at your own cost.

“The private tour on Gili T was one of the best things we did. Highly recommend going at 7am in the morning when we did it as the statues are a lot quieter. Also recommend asking to hire a GoPro off the company as we got some amazing shots. It was magic having our own space for not much more money. The crew were also great at spotting turtles for us to see. A beautiful morning out on the water.”
