Gili Trawangan Spots
Hong's Kitchen
@Gili.ins
Right in front of Hong’s kitchen is a fantastic spot for turtle watching. It's perfect because the water isn't crowded with boats!
The current isn’t strong on the north side, but it’s still a good idea to be cautious. The stones near the beach can be really sharp, so make sure to wear shoes or watch your step!

La Moomba Bar & Restaurant
@Gili.ins
Snorkeling right in front of this bar is amazing! There are so many colorful fish, and you'll have plenty of opportunities to swim with turtles too. It's a great spot for both!

Turtle Paradise Snorkel
@Gili.ins
We really love this place! It’s fantastic for snorkeling, even though it can get busy with day-trip boats.
To beat the crowds, try to come early and aim for high tide. And don’t forget your camera! You'll want to capture those incredible memories underwater.

Underwater bikes
@Gili.ins
It's not a turtle spot, but definitely worth checking out! Those underwater bikes make for hilarious holiday photos. You can swim from the beach to them and even have a local take pictures for you!
Near the bikes, there's a floating area where you can relax—perfect for children, too.

Gili Meno Spots
Bounty Wreck, Diving Spot
@Gili.ins
This spot, usually a diving site, is also fantastic for snorkeling! When the weather is clear and the water is calm, you're in for an amazing view of the old sunken ship. The surrounding coral reefs and schools of fish make it a sight to remember.

Turtle point arrecife
@Gili.ins
During high tide, many turtles come close to the beach to feed on corals and sea grass! It's ideal for those who prefer staying close to shore.
The water is calm with little current, making it perfect for children and anyone who wants an easy snorkeling experience!
