Discover the best of Gili Trawangan with our Private Snorkeling and Sunset Trip, a compact and highly personal marine adventure ideal for couples, families, or small groups. This intimate private tour combines guided snorkeling at the islands' top marine sites with a scenic sunset cruise aboard a private glass-bottom boat. You’ll visit Turtle Point to swim alongside green turtles, marvel at the unique Underwater Nest Sculpture, and drift above vibrant blue coral reefs in a sheltered coral garden. The private format ensures the boat is only for you and the crew, giving you maximum flexibility, space, and comfort for photography, relaxation, and snorkeling at your own pace.
The experience begins around 16:00 and runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, culminating with panoramic sunset views around Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan before returning to shore at about 18:30 (or when the sun sets). All snorkeling gear is provided and a knowledgeable local guide accompanies you to point out marine life, suggest safe snorkeling techniques, and explain the local conservation efforts. For non-swimmers or those who prefer to stay dry, the glass-bottom boat offers excellent underwater viewing. Enjoy private stops for photos, a relaxed pace for underwater exploration, and a calm evening crossing where the sky turns golden over the iconic Lombok horizon.
This private trip delivers high value through a curated combination of top snorkeling locations and a romantic sunset route, perfect for capturing unforgettable memories. It’s an excellent option for travelers seeking a short, scenic, and wildlife-rich activity without the crowds. Please note the trip departs from Gili Trawangan or Gili Air and is weather-dependent; we recommend reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and a GoPro if you want high-quality underwater photos.
