    Wonderful day out exploring

    It was such an amazing day getting to explore all of the gilis. Rema was an amazing driver and chauffeur throughout our trip and gave us so much information about the island and culture as we drove. Definitely worth the day out, even when it rained and we just snorkeled right through it!

    Fantastic and beautiful tour

    Beautiful experience! We already know Rema from previous tours, on him is more than just rely! We were picked up from the hotel on time and taken directly to the departure point. On the spot, two employees were waiting for us, who accompanied us to the Secret Islands throughout the day. Also included was a very good lunch on a very deserted island, which has been freshly prepared there for us. Fantastic! The timing was entirely up to us, there was no time pressure! Overall a real event for us ! Rema planned the tour very well! Thank you and see you next time!

    STRONGLY RECOMMEND

    They picked us up in Kuta and took us all the way to the secret gilis. The driver and our captain were both very nice and helpful! The islands was also more than worth the trip. Highly recommend.

    Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lombok.

    How much does Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands cost?

    +

    Prices start at $76 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lombok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lombok is not rushed.

    Is Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lombok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lombok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lombok and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lombok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lombok?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lombok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Anggrek Putih Lombok Cooking Class & Garden Tour, Tetebatu Walking Tour - Rice Terraces, Waterfall & Monkey Forest, Rinjani trekking 2D 1N RIM. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lombok?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lombok?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes; Use of snorkeling equipment; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Private boat. Not included: Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 9 listed pickup locations in and around Lombok. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Hidden Gilis: Private Snorkeling Adventure to 5 Secret Islands if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Lombok. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
