Carry small change
Most entrance fees, village donations and boat crew tips are paid in cash; bring small rupiah notes for easy transactions.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Coral reefs around the secret Gilis are fragile — choose biodegradable sunscreen and reapply after swimming.
Wear water shoes
Beaches, rocky shore approaches and waterfall pools often have sharp coral or uneven stones; water shoes protect feet and improve grip.
Plan around tides
Boat access to sandbars and the small Gili islets depends on tides; confirm pickup times with your operator to avoid long waits.
Snorkel mask and fins
Better‑fitting personal gear improves visibility and comfort for multiple snorkel stops.
