Join an exclusive day boat from Lombok for snorkelling around Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan. Hotel pickup starts a circuit of reef gardens, turtle water, underwater landmarks and a lunch stop on Gili Trawangan.
After hotel pickup you board for an exclusive Gili circuit with snorkel stops at Fish Garden on Gili Air, Turtle Point, coral gardens and Statue Ring Point on Gili Meno, and the Vespa Underwater site when conditions allow. Guides brief you before each swim so first-timers know what to expect while confident snorkellers still get time over clear reefs.
The day finishes with landing on Gili Trawangan for lunch and a chance to enjoy the island atmosphere before the return toward Lombok.
The North Gilis sit just off northwest Lombok, with shallow reefs, sandy beaches and boat routes that make island hopping straightforward from the mainland. Starting from Mataram keeps you based on Lombok while still reaching all three islands in one day.
Between the islands, sheltered water and healthy coral patches support colourful reef fish and regular turtle sightings, while Gili Meno is known for underwater statues and quieter shoreline feel beside busier Gili Trawangan.
You should be comfortable swimming or floating in open water with a mask and snorkel. No prior snorkelling experience is required, and the crew can help with kit fitting and water entry at each stop.
Guests of all ages are welcome when minors are supervised by a parent or guardian. Infants sit on a lap on the boat. If you are unsure about swimming confidence, ask the team before you book.
Exclusive departures keep the boat focused on your group rather than a large shared charter, which makes it easier to move between the best available snorkel stops for the day's conditions.
Mask, snorkel and fins are provided, with lunch on Gili Trawangan included, so you can focus on the water and islands instead of organising kit and meals separately.
Meet your driver at the confirmed hotel collection time in Mataram or the wider Lombok pickup area. After a short welcome, you travel to the boat and head toward the North Gilis for the snorkel circuit.
First water stop focuses on the Fish Garden at Gili Air, a natural underwater park with colourful reef fish and clear, relatively sheltered swimming. Take time to settle your breathing and follow the crew's guidance on where to explore.
Next you visit Turtle Point when conditions allow. Keep a respectful distance, move calmly, and enjoy the chance of swimming near these gentle animals in open water.
Move on to coral gardens around Gili Meno, where clear water makes it easier to watch reef fish and the structure of the coral itself. The crew indicates the best entry and swim area for the group.
Snorkel around the underwater sculptures at Statue Ring Point on Gili Meno. The statues create a striking landmark beneath the surface and a memorable contrast to the earlier reef stops.
The final snorkel stop visits the Vespa Underwater site when conditions allow, another distinctive submerged landmark before you leave the water for lunch.
Land on Gili Trawangan for lunch and time to relax on the island. Use the break to rest, reapply sun protection and enjoy the shoreline atmosphere before the return toward Lombok.
This trip includes hotel pickup in Mataram and the wider Lombok pickup area before you head out to the Gilis. Share your hotel name and address when asked after booking so the crew can confirm collection time and whether your stay sits inside the free pickup zone.
Be ready in hotel reception a few minutes before the confirmed time. If you are staying outside the usual area, ask the team before you book so they can advise on transfer options.
No. The outing suits beginners as well as guests who already snorkel. The crew helps with mask fitting and a clear briefing before each water stop.
Basic comfort in open water matters most. Stay close to the boat if you prefer a gentler pace while exploring the reefs.
You are collected from your hotel in Mataram or the designated Lombok pickup area before heading out toward the North Gilis.
Confirm your hotel name and address after booking so the team can plan the pickup route and timing for your departure.
The usual circuit includes Fish Garden at Gili Air, a turtle stop, coral gardens and Statue Ring Point at Gili Meno, plus the Vespa Underwater site when conditions allow.
Wildlife and underwater landmarks are never guaranteed. Visibility, season and animal movement all affect what you see.
Yes. Lunch on Gili Trawangan is part of this itinerary after the snorkel circuit, with time to relax on the island before the return.
Tell the team about allergies or dietary needs when they collect follow-up details after booking so the crew can plan accordingly.
Pack a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, hat and a light layer for the boat. A reusable bottle is useful between stops.
Snorkel kit is provided, so you do not need your own mask and fins unless you prefer personal gear.
Guests of all ages are welcome when minors are supervised by a parent or guardian. Infants must sit on laps on the boat.
Children joining should still be comfortable around water. Ask the team before you book if you are unsure about younger travellers.
This is an exclusive day trip with a maximum of 15 guests. Exact numbers vary by departure depending on who has booked your boat.
Keeping the group smaller helps the crew move between snorkel stops without the feel of a large shared charter.
Boat days around the Gilis can be adjusted when wind or swell makes one stop less suitable. The team may change the order of sites or pause an outing if conditions are unsafe.
If weather affects your departure, the team will be in touch with the next steps for your booking.
Yes, many guests bring a waterproof phone case or action camera. Turtle areas, coral gardens and the statue or Vespa sites are popular photo moments when visibility is good.
Keep valuables secure on the boat when you are in the water, and follow the crew's guidance about staying with the group.
Pickup is included within the designated Lombok and Mataram area used for this trip. Most central hotel stays fall inside that zone.
If your accommodation is farther out, ask the team before you book so they can confirm whether an extra transfer fee applies.
About the centre
Mataram
Based on Lombok's northwest coast, this team specialises in boat-based snorkelling days around the Gili islands and the island's distinctive pink-sand beaches. Guests are collected from their hotel where possible, kit is provided, and the focus is on clear water, coral gardens, turtles, and unhurried time on and off the boat.
Trips run as shared or private outings depending on the product, with lunch included on the fuller Lombok sailing and island days. The same local crews cover Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air snorkel stops as well as east-coast pink beach itineraries, so first-timers and confident swimmers alike can pick a pace that suits them.
