Overall rating

4.5 / 5

based on 400 reviews

Great half day snorkelling trip. Friendly and safe crew - currents around the Gilis are strong so was good to see a guide in the water and the boat never far away. Only criticism was that they didn’t actually tell you what each stop was and what you were looking for - so at Meno we didn’t realise we were seeing the underwater statues until we were on top of them

We had an awesome tour with our guide Inggah. We startet with catching fresh lobster for our lunch and went to the first snorkelling spot. The spot was quiet and very nice. At the beaches we had lunch and met Rido as well, who is a great guide as well. There was a little surprise but the view was stunning. Highly recommended this tour!

Rido Romance is the coolest guide you’re gonna get in Lombok. Having more than a decade of experience in Lombok’s tour guide industry, he sure knows all the spots to make your trip a dream. As a bonus, he has a beautiful voice to make long travel times much more entertaining. Highly recommended!

This was excellent - truly magical day! Note it’s a 2-3hr drive each way but the experience is 100x worth it!

Fantastic day trip with great snorkelling and transportation! Very helpful guide as well! Thank you!
