Float between three Gilis, snorkel with green sea turtles, explore shallow coral gardens and finish on a custom pontoon with a light BBQ. This 4-hour cruise suits swimmers of all levels and highlights the islands’ best snorkel spots.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The pontoon drifts between three small islands, a low humming of the engine replaced by the slap of turquoise on hull as you step into warm water. Sunlight fractures through coral heads and a green sea turtle glides by with an indifferent, ancient calm; above, Gili Meno’s powdery strand waits like an unhurried promise.

Arrive early to the meeting point
Gili Hai asks guests to be ready 30 minutes before departure; arriving early secures parking for your rental bike and avoids last-minute boarding delays.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply mineral-based sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and marine life—reapply on the pontoon rather than in the water.
Bring a waterproof pouch and small cash
Phones should be stored safely while snorkeling; small rupiah notes cover market purchases or tips on the islands.
Know your swimming comfort
Snorkeling spots are shallow but currents can change—if you’re unsure, stay near the guide and use a flotation vest.
Snorkel mask and fins (optional)
You can use provided gear, but personal-fit equipment improves comfort and visibility.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral and reduces skin irritation in tropical sun.
Waterproof phone case
Keeps valuables dry while taking photos from the pontoon or on the beach.
Light towel and quick-dry clothing
Dries quickly after snorkeling and provides sun protection on the return crossing.
